REGARD GAY CRUSADER AS A MARVELOUS HORSE

English turfmen refer to Mr. Falrie’s three-year-old bay colt, Gay Crusader, by Bayardo, out of Gay Laura, by Beppo, a son of Marco, sire of Omar Khayyam, as marvelous. In succession he has won six races, Including the Two Thousand Guineas, Saint Leger, Derby and Gold Cup. Although he Is only a three-year-old, racing experts assert that If he were in the Cambridgeshire, for which Phalarls, the acknowledged champion of British four-year-olds, is top weight, his impost would be 137 or 138 pounds. He has been racing since the first meeting In England this year \ and Is described as a marvel of constitution and quality.
