An American Horse to Run Windsor, Out., Oct. 13.—The decisive victory of the champion race horse, Man o' War, over Sir Barton, in their match race here, may result in a change of plans for the future of the great colt. Samuel Riddle, his owner, had determined to retire the son of Fair Play to the stud following the match race, but is now considering a proposal to send Man o' War to England to run next year in the Ascot Gold Cup.
While no decision has been reached, there is a strong sentiment among Mr. Riddle's friends and family in favour of sending the horse abroad. The night before the big race the subject was discussed by the Riddle party and a straw vote taken. Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Jef fords and others present were for sending Man o' War to England. Only Mr. Riddle and his brother opposed it. Since then more pressure has been brought to bear on the owner, and he is now seriously considering the matter.
The Ascot Gold Cup is a race of two miles and a quarter at weight for age, and is one of the classics of the English turf. It is regarded by breeders as one of the most important races of the year, and the winner is certain to gain world prestige. If it is decided to enter Man o' War it will be necessary 10 ship him several months in advance of the running of the race. in order that he may become acclimatized.
