August Belmont will race a string OF
about thirty horses on the metropolitan
tracks this year. 1t was in 1904 that Mr..
Belmont sold nearly all of his racers and
practically retired from the turf owing to
the pressure of outside business, but the
remarkable success Of the mare Beldame,
who had been leased to Newton Bennington
that season., induced the chairman OF the
Jockey Club to return on a small scale last
year. When Mr.. Belmont got out OF the
game two years ago his old trainer, John
j. Hyland, made other arrangements 80
the Belmont stable this year will not be IN
his care, but will be looked after by A. y.
Joyner and John Whalen.
At Mr.. Belmont's famous Nursery Stud
| nearly all Of his horses have been bred.
Hastings, Henry OF Navarro and Octagon
are the leading stations at this establish
ment and their get have scored many nota-
bic turf triumphs. st. Blaise, for whom
| Charles Reed once paid 100000, is also at
the stud, as Mr.. Belmont bought him from
] Games %. hdRRlh az pAi'oO SN
and some Of the Nursery two-year-olds
this season are sired by the old fellow.
| Incidentally it may be recalled hat ST.
Blaise belonged to Mr.. Belmonts 1ather
fifteen wears ago, which induced the owner
of Nursery Stud to get the stallion IL only
because Of sentimental reasons.

year-old and upward class that will carry
the Belmont silks and they are Lore OF the
Vale, a six-year-old, by Hastings-Lady
