Mr. Umphrey
The Jules colt I sold as a yearling is scheduled to run in the Stephen Foster Handicap on Saturday, June 16th at Churchill Downs. Trainer Richard E. Dutrow, Jr. is running him as a rabbit for Diamond Stripes. Mr. Umphrey's last start was in the Metropolitan Handicap as a rabbit for Silver Wagon. As much as I like seeing a graduate of my farm running in a Graded Stake, I don't see that this colt has enough speed to be a very good rabbit. It didn't work for Silver Wagon in The Met, why is Dutrow trying again? He should just run the horse where he belongs!

That seems crazy to me, too. He is far too good to be a rabbit. Why waste a good horse? Put him where he belongs and let him win a few.
