WIND Up OF RACING SEASON,
CONCLUDING EVENTS WILL BE
RUN AT A0UEDUCT WEDNESDAY,.

Then Comes BenningS and Later the Sport
At the Winter Tracks-Jack JOyner
Has Sent Slxty.eisht winners to the
Post This Year-Bits Of Turf Comm ent.
The metro poitan racing season will close
next Wednesday, when tho fall NEE ting OF
the Queens County Jockey Club will come 10
an end at the popular AQueduct track After
that horsemen will go TO Bennings. where the
sport under the Jockey Clubs rule will con
tlnue until December Then comes the long
winter campaign at the New Orleans. Hot
Springs and California tracks. where racn g
will be run on a more imposing scale than
ever before.
The present season has been most sue
cessful. The closing down OF many OF the
tracks In the West was the means OF sending
the best stables East. where they found II
far more difficult matter TO win purses than
they had been led 10 believe. With the ad vent
OF new horses and owners and trainers the pub
lie found the picking Of winners for time
more difioult, but as form smoothed out the
roblems these obstacles were soon reno we'd.
Though the revenue from the bookmakers
was permanently cut of last May by the
owners OF the tracks. It maybe said that all
Of the racing associations operating under
the Jockey Clubs rule have made money.
This prosperity. too. has materialized even
with the increased rate Of &s admission, for
the public at first inclined to balk, has be-
came educated to the new tariff. With the re-
suit that at Belmont Park this fall the at
tendance figures we're nearly double what
they were at the big track in the spring 1t
is practically sure thing. therefore. that the
50 tariff will prevail next year at all Of the
tracks and that the betting ring will remain
merely public convenience with no special
privileges rather than copartner giving
up a revenue to help along the production Of
dividends.
James r. Keenes stable. with the incom-
parable Sysonby, has been the greatest money
wipner of the year. The Keene horses.
trained by James Rowe, have won nearly
s24o, 900 in stakes and purses. three quarters
of this amount being the share Of Sysonby.
No American stable ever won so large an
amount before, but year ago the Whitney
horses cleaned up about 1920, 900. which. at
the time, was believed to be long standing
record. The Whitney horses have won
enough this year 10 stand second III the list.
