Young mare sets fast pace at Decorah fair grounds
At Decorah fair grounds last Saturday M T Gratten exercised stallion Ledaker while Charley Wells handled Ole Gilbertson s two year old mare. The mare completed a mile in 2 27 with the last half in 1 11, a 2 22 gait, rivaling Le daller. Gratten called the filly the country s most promising pacer and predicted she would make a mark soon. Foaled April 1911 she came to Decorah in May under Charley Wells care and had not worn harness until May 27. For a horse unbroken four months to show under 2 20 is remarkable. She is a daughter of General Luther owned by Erick Rather of Williston ND.
