Davis has two yearlings to start on this season who may make turf history, judged on breeding and relationship, writes ’’Vedette.” One is the Psychology—Desert Gold colt, a brown, who is stated to be a fine individual. So far Desert Gold lias not produced anything like herself in quality as a racehorse, but in Oreum she had one very fair galloper. The other youngster is the Limond —Homage filly purchased by Mr. T. H. Lowry at the recent Trentham sales. This is a sister to Episode and Honour, and is booked for the stud after her racing career. No doubt she was purchased more with the idea of breeding than racing. Mr. Lowry at present is negotiating the purchase of another well-bred stallion in England.
