In fact, as compared with 1931, ( there was nothing like the same amount of retrenchment by owners. Unlike the previous year, nothing had been heard from time to time of different men retiring from ownership, "I* i .< PeruaPa> true," adds the paper quoted, that in these days there are not so many owners who race on the lavish scale that used to obtain, but it is also true that there are, more people owning horses now than ever before. One of the most encouraging features o£ the.season was the result of the Doncaster bloodstock sales. The total for the week's sales amounted to £162,750, as against that of £150,966 for last year. These sales provided several dramatic moments, notably when two' millionaires and two millionairesses competed for possession of a yearling. They were the Aga Khan,, Lord Glanely, Miss Dorothy Paget, and Lady Houston. Miss Paget won, paying the highest price of the week, £5250, for a colt by 'Tetratema out of Portrait."
