EQUINE HEROES
When Limerick ran second to Mollison in the All-Aged Stakes at the A..T.C. meeting, he l)rought his stake earnings up to just about £38.0(50. This leaves him with £SIOO or £5200 to earn before lie equals Gloaming’s record. £43,100. However, if he keeps sound (says “Carbine”), and retains something like his form, lie has a very reasonable chance. Limerick is in his fifth year, and Gloaming won nearly half his great total after he bad passed that age. At six years he won £5860 at seven £4238. at eight £2205, and at nine £8179. Not all horses can be preserved as Gloaming was, but his. figures serve to show the reasonableness of Limerick’s chance. Limerick is now second or third on the list ol big stake winners in this part of the world, probably third. Without the exact figures, it is difficult to say which. Accepting Limerick’s figures as approximately' £38,000, the list is ns follows:
