The Futurity. richest Of all American turf prizes.
and one OF the richest racing prizes In the world
will he decided at Sheepshead Bay this afternoon
In looking over the list of probable starters. no
Domino no Morello. no HIS Flghness no Reauitai
can be discovered on the scroll Every one OF those
Tour Futurity winners racehorse OF lofty
class. OF striking speed Of exceptional weigh-carry-
ing power and admirable quality. Domino was the
best OF them all. racer Of exalted fame The cele
brated Salvador vanquished in the Futurty
by Proctor Knott. and had been defeated before
In his as a two-year-old. At four years OF
age Salvador was indsputably the champion OF the
New World. but as a two-year old he was much In
ferior 10 the marvel that Domino was at two years
Domino never lowered his colors in the course OF
his first year the turf and his achievements
will never pass out Of the memory Of turfmen
HIS Hghness ran disappontingly In the years fol-
lowing his Futuriy triumph. Morellos turf career
was ended at early age. Requital followed his
Futurity success by capturing the Realization last
year. Both of those two victories Regulars
part were earned in dazzling fashion But this year
Requitals star has paed. and his most ardent ad-
mirers are sombre and downcast when they speak
OF him.
II John E. Maddens supreme champion. Ham,
burg, In the Futurity. no sensible turfman
would believe that any other horse in the race had
any chance of first place Hamburg is the Amer
lean Domino Of lS91-a truly great two-year-old.
But Hamburg Is in the Futurity. and In his
absence the result OF the seems to be ex-
trenely doubtful and uncertain. No one horse In
the list Of probablc starters stands out alone In
suprsm macy. as Hamburg would do II he were in
the list. II 1t should rain to-day the prospects or
those horses which have proved their capacity for
running in a sloppy muddy sticky track
would, of course be vastly improved. but no one
of the youngsters who will take part In the con-
test will be compelled to carry as heavy weight as
His Highness and Domino carried successfully.
The Coney Island Jockey Club sends out a list OF
eighteen probable starters for the Futurity II Is
possible that there may be additions TO this
list at the track to-day while some OF those named
may be withdrawn. OF the eighteen. three will
come from the Brookdale Stable Of L. s. & W. p
Thompson. two from that Of James r. Keene three
from that of Marcus Daily.
The three from the Brookdale Stable are The
Huguenot D1s pounds full brother Of Henry OF
Navarre the colt Gibraltar GlS and the flly
LAouette Gl5 1t is reported that ". Martin Will
ride The Huguenot. that Scherrer will ride Gibral-
tar and that Clawson will ride LAlouette Both
Gibraltar and The Huguenot have raced and
worked sufficiently well TO make them formidable
candidates Gibraltar IS especially at home on
the three Thompson entries which Will be treated
in the betting single entry, will probably hold
does not look likely that LAlouette has any claim
even to place IN the Futurity against the colts colts
