OHN SANFORD’'S Meteorite its earning himself a place and is the three-year-old sprinter of the year here, He has won his only two starts here in such commanding fashion that many experts are begin- ning to talk of him and Omar Khay- yam in the same breath. Early in the season this son of Star Shoot and the Futurity winner, Hamburg Bell was regarded as merely a sprinte: but since he has shown an ability to go a mile.
