WHEN SYSONbY

Not Likely to Be Started Before

Turf Notes.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, April with only 131
pounds to shoulder In the Metropolitan
handicap, the $4,000 feature of the first
meeting at Belmont Park this spring, James
K. Keene's Sysonby is In much more rea-
sonably than local racegoers had expected,
and it is not considered an improbability
that Trainer James Rowe will point the hig
Melton four-year- old for this event Sysonby
made his first appearance in 1905 in the
Metropolitan. running dead heat with
Race King, and he went through the sea
son unbeaten afterward. He is an early
horse, according to those who have watched
him. and could easily be prepared for a race
to be run on May 10.
James r. Keene was asked this week
about the prospect Of Sysonby starting in
the Carter Handicap at Aqueduct the first
stake for which the horse is eligible. His
reply was: We have not vet decided
when Sysonby will have his first race this
year. 1t is known that friends of Trainer
Rowe have been urging him to start the
colt IN the Carter on the ground that II
half fit he will require only to gallon to
finish in front. Rowe will not say posi-
lively that start in the Carter is not con-
templated. He has sized up the proba bic
field for the Queens County Club feature.
and knows that few of the eligibIes have
any business in race with his champion
Thus far Sysonby has not been allowed
10 show his speed, but he has not had an
idle winter. Rowe has had him doing
something around the barns practically
every day for the last two months Since
the two-year-olds began to work on the
yearling track at Sheepshead Bay Syson-
by has been daily attendant az the
course. He is bigger than he was when
retired last fall; but, according to those
who have watched him regularly, is hard,
and could easily be fitted for a race That
Aqueduct Is safe track on which to race
valuable horses Is admitted It's home

quired to take great risks in keeping up

Is good any distance con be made up.
Horses like Sysonby, however, rarely
sport silks as early as the Aqueduct meet
ing, no matter how greatly they appear to
outclass their competitors.
1t will be surprise If Rowe elects to
start the colt In the Carter. But the Met

Carter this year, and the assigned weight
is three or four pounds less than was gem
orally expected. AS preparatory race
