tlnlekeeperi ". II. barretto, VIII hold the
Criclmore and Chris Cornehlsen will act as
clerks OF the scales at the different tracks.
Several OF the best known tuTfmen will
return actively to racing this year, August
belmont, the chairman Of the State Rloing
CoPmission and Of the Jockey Club, will
oorhe back after an absence Of year.
The great racemare Beldame will be the
star OF his string, together with Lord Of
the Vale, who won the Saratoga Handicap
last year. and bunch OF blue blooded
two-year-olds bred at the famous Nursery
Stud. Beldame will be trained by Fred
Burew and will be ridden in all OF her
races by frankie O'Neill. In Newton Ben
nington's colors last year Beldame proved
TO be wonderful performer. Burlew
trained and managed her and O'Neill rode
her, 80 MIR. Belmont believes there should
be no change In her handling. Lord
Of the Vale was trained last year by A. j.
Joyner, who will not only have the Hastings
horse again under his wing, but he will
also train some Of the Belmont tWo-year-
olds, which means that Jockey Willie Davis,
on whose services Sydney Paget and JoyneT
have first call, will wear the Belmont silks
on frequent occasions.
Harry Payne Whitney will also race q
stable in his own name for the first time
since the death Of his father. the late William
9. Whitney. He will have the services Of John
w. Rogers, who with Joyner, Is regarded
by many as the best trainer Of racehorses
in America. Irish Lad, the great Candle
mas horse who won the Brooklyn Handicap
in 1908 and the Metropolitan Handicap
last year, Is the star Of the Whitney stable.
1t was after gruelling race in which Broom
stick beat him in the Brighton Handicap
last summer In worlds record time that
Irish Lad went so lame that he was imme-
oiately turned out for the rest Of the season.
Rogers has taken great care Of the horse
during the winter, and will begin 10 train
him soon, but II he shows the slightest in
dication Of a breakdown he will tie sent TO
Mr.. Whitney's Brookuale Stud without
further delay. Mr.. Whitney has Artful,
the winner Of last years Futurity, and
Tanya, who captured the National Stallion
and other stakes in the spring, 10 represent
him among the three-year-olds while
he also has a big string Of twO-year-olds,
most Of them sired by the great Hamburg
and Meddler, and all engaged in the lead
ing stakes. Eugene Hidebrand, probably
the best jockey in the country, will ride
for Mr. Whitney, and also for his friend,
H. B. Duryea, whose horses will be trained
by Rogers, too.
p. j. Dryer. who in past years has been
represented by only few horses, will race
a much larger string this year, including
a number Of high class two-year-olds. He
partnership with him, and the young man
will have practically the active manage
ment Of the stable, with Richard Miller
as the trainer While Miller has not earned
national reputation like that Of a Rogers,
a Joyner or a Rowe, he Is competent. In
fact, his handling Of Africander in his three
year-old year was up to the highest train
ing average. The former successes Of the
Dryers have not been forgotten In the
turf world, and horsemen will view with
much satisfaction a successful campaign
by this new combination.
James Il. keene has powerful stable.
From Castleton Stud comes a star lot Of
two-year-olds, the get Of such famous stall
lions az Kingston, Ben Brush st. LeoDards,
Dig Use H. and the lamented Commando,
who died the other day Of lockjaw. With
such tried thoroughbred as the four-yeaT-
olds Delhi and Israelite and the three
year-olds Sysonby, Butcher and Wild Mint,
Mr.. keene expects TO cut a prominent
old stakes. Sysonby, a phenomenal two
year-old, was not sent to the post after
his defeat in the FutuTity, and went out
Of training perfectly sound in wind and
limb James Rowe, Mr.. Ksene's veteran
trainer, believed then that Sysonby had
a brilliant future and that With the Melton
colt in proper shape this year he would
have all Of the other great three-year-olds
at his mercy. Delhi was also great horse
in early races last year, but he went of
in his work later on, probably because
he was a bit overworked. There are 30
many horses TO race in the heene colors
that half OF them will be trained by Rowe
and the others by his assistant, Walter
probably be Puddin Mcdaniel, the re-
markable light weight who has astonished
the turf world by his work in the saddle
at Los Angeles this winter. Arthur Red
fern viii also do some riding for the stable,
as he is well thought Of by Rowe.
Sydney Paget, who generally races j.
B. Higgins horses. has the great three
year-old FLY Tradition, the three-year-old
colt Woodsaw, and a raft OF twO-year-olds
bred at Rancho del Paso and Elmendorf,
~ nil 10 twainaH na 1rgVfnI hy lnyuRF
and ridden by Davis. Newton Bennington,
also in possession Of a large number OF
Haggin bred twO-year-olds, will try to
win many OF the early stakes, and with
that end in view Trainer Burlew viii get
busy with some Of thCm at Aqueduct
Capt. s. S. Brown, in spite Of the fact
that he is a member Of the board Of appeals
Of the A. T. A., will race most Of his big
stable In the East. Broomstiok the pride
OF the string, has been coughing this winter,
Ben Brush colt will be at and ready when
the time comes TO send him TO the barrier.
Jack Martin, who has been riding in old
time form at New Orleans ever since he
left here last fall, has signed contract
with Capt Brown, who will have FIRST call
on his services.
f. X. Thomas will not race 90 many horses |
in future. He has Hermis and Stalwart |
to represent him in the big handicaps. |
Hermis. who won the Suburban last year, !
Suburban and Brighton, and will probably |
be similarly treated in the Excelsior and |
Metropolitan Stalwart, who was a leading |
-year-old, has wintered well, and with /
Hermis will be trained by Aleck Shields. |
Tne other Thomas horses will be in /
he care Of r. f. Watkins, who has handled /
M. L. Hayman's winning stable at New /
orleans all winter. II is generally believed /
