BLUTE HORSE IS
IN EVERY STAKE
MUCH IS EXPECTED OF SAIS
THIS SEASON
Thoroughbred Showing Great Form
and viii Be Much In Evidence
at Aseort Park-Turf
Notes

James Blute has caused the entry Of
his good one, sais. to be made in all
stake events to be run off at Ascot this
season and has great expectations for
the thoroughbred.
sails will he remembered by local race
goers for his splendid races at Ascot
at the last two meetings. when he an
nexed several purses and stakes. and
for his excellent record on eastern
tracks, where he maintained his good
record in races against the best thor
oughbred speeders of the country.
Sais is showing nicely this early and
Blutc is building great hopes of annex
ing many important stakes and purses
with him during the Ascot season. His
preseason workouts are entirely salts
factory and 1t is expected that he Will
show equally as good form as in his 3
year-old campaign. Should he do this
IL is good-by for all other contenders
to all stakes in which he participates.
Blute has an excellent string at
Ascot, having brought twenty-three
horses from the east recently and all
of them are in fine fettle for the season.
The Blute string is in two divisions,
his son Alfred having charge of one
division, both of which will be raced at
Ascot
In his day the elder Blute was the
premier jockey in ireland and achieved
fame as a rider OF steeplechasers. He
is also one of the best known and most
capable trainers of thoroughbreds in
the business and his success on the turf
has been the result Of his own efforts
and handling of his horses.
Jockey Wilkerson, a promising light
weight rider accompanies the stable
and is much in demand as exercise boy
since his arrival at the local course.
Wilkerson will have the leg on all ap-
prentice mounts for the Blute stable.
Barney Schrieber, who has n large
number of good ones at Oakland and d
string of twenty at Ascot, will arrive
today with ten of the Oakland string
to be raced at Ascot.
The plungers and pikers took another
rap at the bookies yesterday when
Titus ran second at Oakland. This one
was a hot tip and at fair prices in the
first betting and was heavily played.
George Durker. who developed Father
Catchem, is conducting a public train
ing stable in connection with his own
string. He has Interlude and several
other speedy ones in his string, as well
as several horses belonging to others
which he is training.
Montana Peeress at Oakland was the
disappointment of the day for the Tues
day pikers. This race carried more
money, principally wagered on Mon
tana Peeress, than any other that was
played locally. The good thing was not
ripe enough and failed to even peep.
Despite the fact that the Emeryvilla
meeting is not yet well under way and
the track is not yet at its best, the races
are being run in fast time. Starter
Jake Hoffman is also adding to the sue
cess of the meeting by getting the
horses away from the post with remark
able ability even for Hoffman.
Lloyd Ncol, a stable employe of ]
Millard, sustained a fracture of the
collarbone yesterday in an accident or
the track. He was exercising Sheriff
Bell and going at a fair clip when tn.
