WISHFUL THINKING
Few people in England are seriously perturbed' over a belief expressed by Mr. Arthur Hancock, well-known American breeder, that British thoroughbreds are deteriorating and that after the war America will fill the role of leading breeders of bloodstock. It is true that those two good sires, Bahram and Mahmoud, as well as others of lesser note, have found their way acros*. the Atlantic, but this selling policy has not been adopted by Lord Derby. Lord Rosebery, etc., who are carrying on despite a probable financial sacrifice. ;
Mr. Hancock was of the. opinion that Hyperion was the only outstanding sire left in England, but he overlooked the fact that such sires as Blue, Peter, Colombo, Windsor Lad, Bois Roussel, to: mention but a few. still i-emain in England.
