Writes “ Spectator “ I don’t know a two-year-old in training at the present time that has improved more in twelve months than Dan O’Brien’s colt, Town Moor, the chestnut by -St. Leger—Miss Laura. When I selected Rose Argent to win the Middle Park Stake in preference to her stable companion Moraine and picked Town Moor as an outsider, I really thought that at the difference in the weights Town Moor 1 would put down Mr 1 Stead’s " colti, : but 1 when Derritt gob up 181 b ' overweight, and he lost some ground at starting, I hardly thought he would run so well as he did. Though he was some''lengths behind, the leading pair at the finish, Town Moor has established a performance thaisatisfios me that he will yet bear out the opinion I formed of him twelve months ago when Dan O’Brien secured him'for 100 guineas at the Sylvia Park- sale.’ F don’t think he is a boy’s horse, having so far displayed a will of bis own, and some temper, but time and good handling should eradicate this fault.”
