"How am I affected by the war?" he says,-"As soon as I knew that war had been declared, I sat down to have my first square meal for weeks." I wonder what he'll say when the "All Right" is signalled!
The general position as regards racing establishments is that trainers are keeping their horses for the time being, 9 pending instructions from owners. Racehorses have no value in war time, but owners will naturally be reluctant to part with good horses in a hurry. Blue Peter, for example. He will be wanted, if not for racing, for stud purposes later.

Turf Headquarters, for example, not only has numerous training estab- lishments, but is surrounded by stud farms. The occupants of the stables and of the farms, according to pre sent arrangements, will stay where they are. Why not?
THE SMALL OWNER
The people who will be most hit by war conditions will be the trainers whose livelihood for the moment
comes to an end. The head of one of the biggest stables at Turf Head- quarters has just told me some of his provisional arrangements. They are mainly that the good horses will be kept, but that owners of bad aries will be asked either for permission for the horses to be turned out or else to take them away.
