GREAT HORSE COMES WITH
REGAIN STRING
WILL RACE AT SANTA ANITA IN
LATER EVENTS
Day and Night Shifts Put on at the
Latter Track, In Order to Rush
Things for the
Opening
BY ]. q. GRIFFIN


Two days for every one that passes
will be recorded at Arcadia from now
on, so far as work on the plant at Santa
Anita is concerned. Superintendent AL
len, not content with opening on time,
is bound to have everything as near COM
plete as possible, and yesterday ordered
that both a day and night shift be put
on the grand stand in order to rush that
structure as rapidly as possible.
No sooner had the order gone forth
than electricians were all over the place
stringing lights and wires. Big arcs and
high powered incandescents are placed
wherever they will shed little light
on the men at work, and plenty OF IL
Elimination is promised.
Despite the developments expected in
the next six days the grand stand will
doubtless be anything but handsome
structure. 1t will be impossible to paint
the building before Thanksgiving, and
not even a start toward giving it coat
will be undertaken. The stables are
being freshened up with green stain on
the roofs, and the plant in general. with
the execution of the big stand, will be
ready and waiting.
Opening day. with or without a bril-
liantly painted stand, will be impressive
in many ways. Those who have never
visited Santa Anita park cannot fail to
be struck with the natural beauty of the
place. and It's ideal location and scenic
beauties will more than atone for the de-
fects right at hand. The broad reaches
of Lucky Baldwin's acres, surrounded
on all sides by rows of weather worn
and stately eucalyptus trees, and the
vast expanses of fertile vineyards ana
orchards, backed in the distance by the
towering Sierra Madres lay bare scene
that should appeal to the tourists as
no other part of Southern California can,
and those who see the place for the first
time are sure to come away impress I'd
beyond words with Santa Anita.
Main Track There
And then the track itself will be there.
Small probability of the chutes being
completed is entertained, but the main
course itself, with its mile and an eighth
oval, can accommodate any event that
may be on the card, and although the
shorter races must be started on the
turns it will make no material differ
ance in the running.
e. ]. Baldwin was made president OF
the Los Angeles Racing association at
the meeting held for that purpose yes
terday morning. The old horseman,
owner of Emperor of Norfolk, Reina de
Los Angeles and other turf celebrities,
has been slated for the office since the
association was first formed, but A. II.
Unruh did the duties of president until
Yesterday, when Lucky was elevate1
to the chair
The great Go Between, winner OF
countless races of class on the Metro
politan tracks, arrived last night in
charge of Frank Regan. HAL Smirker
Suzerain and others are in the Regar
slring, which came in the same cars as
those in the w. o. Decker stable, OF
which Alteration and Gallivant are the
standard bearers.
Go Between will be started in several
events after the first of the year, as
his trainer believes that the son of
Meddler can be brought to top shape ny
the opening of the New York races
next spring, and can win more than
his share of events early in the season
there. Since he won the Suburban
handicap a year ago, and caused all
kinds of trouble for Shields because
CT the sexing in the entry blanks, the
stocky bay has done but little particu-
larly notable, and toward the end of mis-
last racing period was beaten by horses
considered his interiors. Hope is ex-
pressed that he will regain his oid
time form and go east again carrying
his six years like they were three.
G. w. Poole, having a fair bunch
il. tow, arrived yesterday, and immedi-
ately unloaded at Ascot. Several of f
j. kelley'S horses were contained IN Ins
lot, and are expected to render a good
account of themselves in the sprints.
Boden Has TWenty-three
The Boden string, both those belonging
to himself and those which he is train
ing for others, took up twenty-three
stalls, and are a eGoice lot. Botanist
a three-year-old Boanerges colt belong
ing to Hayman, is a superior horse in
the mud over sprint route, and Johnny
Edwards, a green two-year~old, is con
sidered by Pat McCarren, his owner, tC
he in the $4,000 class.
Niblick and Ormondes Right, which
Eoden raced here last season for Mason
will also sport silk at the Santa Anits
meeting and they will be helped ou
by Sam Bernard, a three-year-old, aut
John o. Rice, youngster. Boden alsG
brings bunch of yearlings and vii
be kept busy "wiseing'' them to th~
barrier and track running.
Two jockeys who will don silk at Ac
cadia, Englander and Goldstein, were ou
at Ascot yesterday galloping horses an;
otherwise helping to prepare for Thurs
days opening at Santa Anita. Waltei
Miller's advent at Oakland shows an
other crack on the coast, and it is no
expected that either Oakland or Lo!
Angeles will lack class so far as rider
are concerned. James Hennesy, the sta
10y at New Orleans last season, vii
