Bayardo, who has won .£-11,531 in prizemoney, in three seasons, will only be.a five-year-old next year, so, the odds are in■•; favour of his career at the stud being "a fairly long one. In England, even when opportunity offers, and the fees are high, '.owners of first-class- stallions refrain, from overdoing them, but: if- for each of his first three seasons Bayardo is ■ : . restricted to twenty ■ mares, apart'from tliose of-his owner's, that will mean p. re- ;"■ turn.of nearly ..£19,000. ,■; V ..Aii' undoubted feature of tho Woodville I"." meeting was the riding of H; Gray who J" steered four winners, and was only beaten V by'" a head in another event.
