The track was too heavy for fast work
yesterday Mt Montgomery Park and two
minute gait was the rule with trainers.
Tomorrow, if the weather holds up, some
great going may be expected. At anyrate
all the stables are getting ready for grand
effort Thursday morning, and fast time is
foregone conclusion. The $50 o'clock
am. dummy will doubtless carry out a
large party to see the flyers at work.
Tt' ante-post betting on the Tennessee
Cluo Stakes at Powers & Co. Turi-Ex-
change is developing some peculiar features.
The book is full on lie Premier, Chilhowie,
Cotillion and Brown Princess, that is to
say, so much money has been placed on
these horses TO win that the Turf Exchange
doesn't care to bet any more money against
them. 1t occurs to THE APPEAL that there
is no occasion for uneasiness on the part
OF the Turf Exchange that either OF the
four named horses will win. lie Premier
is an unknown quantity. He is brown
Oft three years OF age by Lucifer out Of
c olden Slippers. He started twice as n two
year old and failed to come in first or sec
ond. The company was not fast in either
case. He must have improved wonder
fully 10 justify confidence in his beating
Fan King, Viking, Chilhowie, Rimini
and others. 1t is understood that most OF
the money put on him comes from his
stable, and his trainer, Mr.. Henry Avis, is
rather shrewd gentleman, II is possible
he may have improved very much ON his
two year old form.
The Brown Princess money is doubtless
speculative venture of Johnnie Camp
bell, who owns the FLY and generally
backs his own horses. She started nine
times last year and never showed in front.
III she wins the Tennessee Club stakes she
will be the first OF Prince Charles get TO
20 mile as three year.old and win. Her
best performance was 10 run second to
French Park at Lexington, three.quartcrs
OF mile in l:l7. There were two lengths
between the winner and the second horse.
In all OF these races she showed lack OF
staying power. AT Latonia last fall, with
only ninety-eight pounds up, she came in
seventh TO Rimini, who carried l07 pounds,
and Rimini is in the Tennessee.
Chilhowie, Of the Chicago Stable, may
be dangerous He il by King Ban-l Locust
Bloom, and won at least three good races
last year out of eight starts. At LcXing-
ton, with 1l2 pounds, he beat n field OF
thirteen, making hall mile in 1901. At
-. Louis, with l04l pounds up, he beat
field OF nine, making five. cighlhs in l.03l.
At Kansas City, with l05 pounds up, he
beat a field of five, making the half mile
in go Go way with your Brown
frincesses.
Cotillion-shc's another sweet one 10
make a iayorite OF, chestnut hlly by
Rayon d'Or-Recl Dance-started five times
last year. and never came first, second
or third under the wire. Once she came
in twelfth out OF thirteen starters. then
eighth in twelve, then eighth IN ten, then
ninth IN sixteen, then tenth in twelve
starters. These are the sort OF animals that
are being made favoritcs OF in the Turf
Exchange book. Take out Chihowie, and
II either OF them comes one, two, three, IL
will be because there arc only five horses
ia the race.
