Longest Flat Handicap Of Major Racing Season

This is the famous English sire Son-in-Law, whose "offsprings have figured prominently in the Cesarewitch in recent year. Son-in-Law himself won the Cesarewitch in 1915.
Horse-racing under war conditions in England must hold a special thrill for race-goers and the decision reach- ed by the authorities at Home to permit the resumption of racing on a modified basis will not only prove. a welcome relaxation to turf enthusiasts in England, but will also carry the same measure of thrill to patrons of the turf even. in this remote corner of the Empire.

ROYAL FATRONAGE
Royalty has always patronised Newmarket Cesarewitch day, ever since 1605, when James made a special pilgrimage there and marked" the occasion by dub- bing several of his brother sports- men, knights. It is on very rare occasiona that the reigning monarch has failed to be present.
No handicap in the entire English flat-racing Season grips the public imagination like the Cesar witch. The race has contributed many striking pages to Turf history and more fortunes have been won and Tost on this race than on any other,
even including the
Derby.
"A point which will Interest students of breeding is that, in the past,. It was a habit of those searching for the winner of the Cesarewitch, to single out sons of Bentor. Now, however, sons and grand-sons of that famous are, Son-in-Law, seem to merit möst "attention.
