Harry Sprague has ridden winners during the last two seasons. His great win on Headquarters last year at Sandown shinwa the kind of

boy he is.

He had been instructed by his "gusnor," Reardon, to wait until he wns 200 yards from the post and then to come out. In the race he pulled out 400 yards from home-and came on to win.

With his head tucked down, and without saying a word, he unsaddled, weighed-l, charged and then went quietly to the gur, where he told the driver

"I het get a routing from the guv'nor, I pulled out 200 yarda bo- fore he told me to.".
