He held his place until the | | stretch, where he was given his head and .proceeded to make a show of tne field. The time, 2:32 3-5, was Inot at all bad. Bushranger carried 118 pounds. Bushranger's time was plenty fast encugh to indicate that he was capa- ble of giving any horse in the land a stiff brush and were he to start in the rich Santa Anita Handicap early in the year he would have plenty of | suporters. Thé former jumper's ability to go the route in such fine style was a bit | of a surprise to many surf followers. Bushranger was sired by the famous | Stefan the Great and almost all of his get have been classed as sprint- ers. Bushranger has the early speed of a sprinter and apparently is not | bothered by carrying his speed over a distance. BUSHRANGER TO CALFORNIA A number of our leading jumpers, Indigo, Luckite and St. Francis, all cons of Stefan the Great, have shown | great stamina through the field. This | dizplay of stamina in Stefan the Great's get has been explained by the fact that the great sire was of what | is known as a soft breed, a type that needs time to develop. Racing 2- year-olds, as we do in this country on the flat, did not give his offspring time to mature properly.. Therefore, they were rated as sprinters, only.
