“PEEPING BOB” ON THE MUNICIPAL HANDICAP.
lam much surprised to see so few entries for th such a good stake—and the stake might have been a better one had the ladies been allowed to 1 subscribe. As there are are two horses to s> t, i\ and neither of them is likely to be scratched, I will now give my opinion as to their respective merits. ‘ Young America ’is a powerful-looking horse, n p but I am afraid he has been neglected in his jnj training. Having some little knowledge of his of trainers, I am in a position to say that they are quite incompetent for the task. The horse has not had sufficient work. I believe he has fallen ( j u into bad hands ; but if he were to get into better hands, and were properly taken care of, and voi don’t sulk, he might prove a good one next , ■ season. I’ll back him this event for places. Now comes my favourite, ‘Cromwell.’ Being under the care of such an efficient trainer as pe; Northumbrian, assisted by other trainers of jae equal experience, ho is getting on first-rate,' is gaining knowledge of the ground ho hasV J travel over. The way in which ho took his n g m limuury on Saturday convinces me that ll j Safe in investing on him. 1 I Pkepino Bo s} I *o V
