Turfmeu are already discussing tho prob.
able starters for the rich futurity, which
pfll be run az Sheepsbrnd Bay one week from
next Saturday. H. will bc the tWcuticth
running OF Americas greatest two -yedr-old
classic and from presPnt indications "a big
ded will go W the barrier. N II foregOne
conclusion that James a. kecns's great stable
Gill provide the favOrit" IN the unconqueTe ed
Commando colt. colin. NhDsc Futurity impost
will be i25 pounds n Com had started and
won the Hopeful Stakes on Saturday his
chances for the Futurity would have been
greatly increased. but at that experts say
that II he runs up to the form shown all this
season he can hardly be beaten unless by
some unexpected hukc.
Colin has started six times this year and
in each instance he has been returned an
easy winner. Al no time has he been ex-
tended. though on several occasions he has
shown a tendency TO loaf. Beginning with
an overnight event Ht Belmont Park which
he captured in n gsllop. Mr.. Keene's champion
has won the National stallion Stakes. the
Eclipse Stakes. the Great Trial Stakes. the
Brighton Junior Stakes and the Grand Union
Hotel Stakes. incidentally taking the measure
Of all OF the best youngsters yet shown. with
che exception OF the fily Notasulga, whose
lack Of stable engagements has kept her
from showing her real worth. Colin. in spite
Of a box hook and bucked shins which
troubled him early in the year. has gone
ahead with his races as II he was without
blemish, which naturally makes his achieve
nents all the more remarkable.
On the strength of them. therefore. Colin
will be an overwhelming favorte for the
Futurity. but il is probable that Mr.. keene
will have at least one other representative
in the big race IN Peter Ounce, chestnut
colt by Commando-Fair Vision, who has
not started yet but whose work in private
at Sheepshead Bay is said to have been ex-
cellent Those who have seen Peter Ounce
under saddle say that he is almost as good n
COLT as Colin and that as soon as Trainer Rowe
cuts him loose at Saratoga he will create a
sensation in the turf world. Mr. keenes
other Futurity elgibles are the Ben Brush
colt Bosom. who has started twice only to
disappoint his owner Anonyma. a ally by
Disguise-Optime, a half sister to Sysonby:
Masquerade a tilly by Disguise-Splendou
Mssque. a colt by Disguise Rhodesia. and
Restigouche, a son Of Commando who has not
amounted 10 much so far
Many turfmen who saw Frank J. Farrells
colt Jim Gaffney win the Hopeful Stakes on
Saturday we're inclined TO the belief that
with Colin out Of the Futurity this son OF
Golden Garter Miss Maxim. a full brother
TO the noted stake winner Golden Maxim.
would come very near winning the big race
at the Bay. Colin beat Gaffney rather easily
iD the Grand Union Hotel Stakes. but the
Farrell colt for at least half the distance made
Colin hustle to keep UP with the pace. Gan

and will receive a careful preparation for
the Futurity. II. p Whitney has a number

August Belmont will probably start his
