BECHER 'CHASE SUCCESS

The next Grand National is not until March 29, 1935, but many people at Liverpool on November 9 were convinced that they had al- ready found the winner of the big steeplechase.

The horse who created so ¡much enthusiasm was Thomond II., owned by Mr. J. H. Whitney, the American millionaire, and trained by Jack Anthony, who rode Troytown to victory in 1920. Thomond IL. has earned the title of Aintree specialist by winning the Becher Steeplechase three years in succession. He completed | his hat trick" on November 9, Anthony and Speck, his jockey,

haring the honour.

The Becher 'Chase is run over two and a half miles, and the run- ners for the race have to jump all the Grand National fences once. Thomond II. finished third to Golden Miller, in this year's Na- tional, and, as he is only eight years of aro his prospects must be very bright.
