Joyner turned out more actual winners

the best posted horsemen in the world.

yull4 this season, 4 as he will train for

federacy and August Belmont. It has
! often been said by race track spec ula-
tors that If they could make up their
minds to play Joyner's horses exclusively
they would win handsomely. and, as PROOF
OF this, his record of the last two years
Is alluded to. Joyner is as much or an
expert in handling two-year-olds as he
ia with older horses FIe5 seldom crrs,
and on very few occasions has It been
said that horses sent to the post by him
we're unit On the contrary when JOY
ner starts one, ut is generally assumed
that the horse is ady. to race, and such
Is the case nine times out of ten. Rowe,
13opors and JOINER do not bet at all.
At least that is Sthe impression Fprevail-
ing among iturfmen who have watched
their methods closely. They know when
their employers should bet. however, and
their advice in this matter is closely
followed.
