FUTURE OF ENGLISH HORSE-RACING BRIGHT
Good Summer Season Envisaged

In the case of English racing there is justifica- tion for the attitude, and there is reason to believe that this summer's flat-racing season will be a good one. Not, of course, up to ordinary standards, but pretty good, nevertheless,

Some of the foals fetched good prices, and it is significant that they will not race until 1942. Only the very hopeful expect a season approaching peace-time standard that this year, but it is obvious

Horses Sold
Since the war started, many good British horses, meluding the 1936 Derby winner, Mahmoud, have gone abroad, and the 3131- portant British bloodstock export- ing industry has been mamtamed But it is interesting to notice that most of the horses bought at the Newmarket sales are to lay in England.
It will be to the benefit of Eng- fish racing, as opposed to the breeding and exporting industries, that they should stay at home, but They are not doing SO because English buyers outbid those from overseas. The fact is that the d- tuls of the sales were arranged in something of a hurry, and it was too late to circulate catalogues abroad.
A great stimulus to racing the fact that the King will be tak- ing part in the sport again this year.
He has sex ral horses in train- ing with Wille Jarvis, and in ad- dition has sent two yearling colts to be prepared for whatever rac- ing there is this season. They are King's Scholar, by Felstead out of Bread Card, and an unnamed coll by Fairway out of Papilla.
The King's brother-in-law, Lard Harewood, a leading member of the Jockey Club, is also continu- ing to race, and has soni four more horses to the Egerton House stables.
The future of racing depends on a great extent on the attitude of the Government, but the fact that the King is preparing to go on racing is a useful pointer.
