HIP. Whitney's Timber. by Ogden ola A.,
recently purchased from John +. MADDEN,
will not be allowed to run unbacked, from
present indications. His races at Saratoga
we're not up to the standard set earlier IN the
season at the local tracks. but Trainer Rogers
has not been extending the colt TOO much'
for the reason that he ia anxious to have him
right on edge when he faces the barrier this
afternoon. J. A. Bennett has held to the belief
all along that his fly Flip Flap. by Hand
sprinR-Alvaretta, has q royal chance. ana the
fact that she can fly in the mud has strength
ened his confidence In her. She is rather
slow be ginner, but powerful stretch runner.
and for that reason will probably have an
army OF supporters when the betting begins.
Sydney Paget has named Jacobite. geld

take I'D 1928 pounds. This youngster won a
number of takes earlier in the year In such

depend on Jerry Weinberg, a strappirg dig
colt by Watercress-Fleurette who has been
tried on several occasions but HAS never won-
Weinberg has worked in splendid form for
the Futurity. and Bennin gton. together with MS
trainer Fred Burlew. thinks he can win with
any kind of fair racing luck. He Is sluggish
