A slsnw 0v" the entries will show that Mr. Stew- art has the largest stable owned by a single individual in the Mari- times.

To become c. successful race driv- er one must be master of all de- tails. Colby Hsnover 3. 2.00 1-2 was losing races this season that many thou ht he should have won. At the ‘North Randall rneting a few

There are many horses racing today that some slight change would improve from a loser to 0 w... , is the abilit. to think and the ability also to ow what to do that marks the successful winnin trainer from the run of mine cuss. There is no question that balancing s horse. fitting him for a rsce and driving him to are not every day attributes that are dealt out in large quantities.
