Fine Lot Of Youngsters in the
Richest Stake Of the Year
Chances Of the Various Candidates
Considered.
The Race to BE Run at sheepshead
Bay Saturday.

The chief topic IN racing now Is the
Futurity, the richest stake for two-year-
olds in this country, which is to be run
off on the track of the Coney Island
Jockey Club, at Sheepshead Bay, on
Saturday. In the last few years the
contest has been looked upon as a fore
gone conclusion, Domino, Morello, His
IIlskness and Potomac being the favor
ties. and justly so from their showing
during the months preceding the race.
Thfs year, however, 1t is an entirely
different matter, for none of the young
sters has shown anything like consist,
ent form, and one after another the
probable winner has been forced to the
rear. while new candidate for the
honors of two-year-old racing has come
to the front, only to be knocked down
by a new one. This has made the race
more open than in former years, and
there will be much guessing about the
winner.
In the beginning of the season it was
thought that Jacob Rupert had all the
stakes at his mercy with Gotham and
Counter Tenor, for they had been run
ming half miles in trials in record time,
and they were undoubtedly as good
looking as any that had been seen in
former years: But Gotham broke down,
and soon after Counter Tenor went
amiss, leaving Manchester as the only
one Of the string to be depended upon.
