1t has often beer said by racetrack specu-
lators that IL 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 of an e1-
pert in handling two-year-olds as he is
with older horses. He seldom errs, and on
very few occa sions has it been said that
horses sent to the post by him were unfit
On the contrary, when Joyner starts one,
it is generally assumed that the horse is
ready to race, and such is the case nine
times out of ten. Rowe, Rogers and Joy
ner do not bet at all. At least that is the
impression prevailing among turfmen who
have watched their methods closely, They
know when their employers should bet,
however. and their advice in this matter
is closely followed.
Another trio of noted trainers includes
Enoch Wishar4, Sam Hildreth and John
E. Madden. Wishard, as usual, will have
charge of the Drake stable, which he has
made a factor in more than one season
since he entered the employ of the Chi
cago turfman. Wishard was too cleve
for the turfmen of England, and when he
left that country there was an unmistakable
feeling of relief. Last season he was not
in the best of health, but toward the close
of the campaign he got into his best stride
and put some sensational winners over the
plate. Wishard would not be able to hold
mis- job if ne could not produce winners,
for mis- employer is one OF the biggest bet
tors on the raCetracks and believes in ca sh-
ing instead OF sending his checks to the
bookmakers the next day. Wishard'
methods ma We been severely criticised at
different times, but he is like many trainers
who want TO produce results, regardless
of the speech of people. Hildretn, after
a suspension at the instance of the Jockey
Club, was Teinstated last summer and
trained for L. +. Smathers, until the latter
tired of the running turf and sold out.
Then Hildreth went along on his own hook,
but did not experience his usual success,
for the reason that he travelled in a fear
full streak of hare luck. He has not signed
a contract with anybody for the coming
sea son, but he own n formidable sta bic
and will race here in his own interests.
Madden is a breeder and owner, as well
as a trainer, and stanCs close to the top
OF his profession. He has bred many
famous stake winners which he has trained
and then sold to millionaires for big prices,
