SHOW PROMISE

One of the leading drivers in |

the U.S.T.A.. Johnny Simpson, has some very promising two- year-olds that he is preparing for this year’s stakes. He is also training at Orlando. but we haven't noticed anything to in- dicate that he has yet beaten 2:35.

Del Miller. who just recently returned from his European four, where he drove | Great Laliwater in the Prix d'Ameri- que. is getting down to busi- ness, and, according to a late issue of “The Harness Horse” he is “brimming with wonder- ful yarns and high praise for his gracious welcome in the European countries. Unfortuna- tely, the reported trip to Soviet Russia didnt materialize due to delays in obtaining visas, however Delvin saw the race tracks, met the horsemen and still managed to see and thor- oughiy enjoy the great art treasures of Europe.

“He reports that the sale of Great Lullwater to European interests is most probable, and that he is importing a pair of brood mares. Like everyone else, Del was greatly impressed with the French trotter, Jamin, winner of the international trot at Paris. But he was also pleased with Great Lullwater’s fine performance over the long

gruelling course. “Del .drove several races there, wearing the owner's

colors and the breeches and: boots used on European tracks. He racing there, and remarked that the penalties were few, that the drivers were skillful. and the spectators full of enthusiasm.

“Despite the barrier starts, flelds were usually well away, and few.”
