A brilliant futuro is expected for this horse, who is one of tho best looking thoroughbreds in work ,at Hastings. '• \. Tho fact that; Bdbrikoff is nominated at Hastings on New Year's Day .may moan that the black. gelding is not to race at Ellorslie. On the other hand, tho • owner • may have simply been supporting his own' club by the nomination as none of. the',.ether members of the team are. entered. Easy, who was" Recently.' sold by Mr. E. ,T. Watt to a patron of Atlas : Whito's stables, was a ruiner on.both davs.at Wdodville, but sucoess",did- not attend her efforts though she made a very good showing on tho. second day, and was in tho fighting lino.until near tho finish.
