All Suspended Jockeys
May Be Barred
Judge Hopper Issues Edict in
the Interest of Clean Rae
ing at EmeryViHe
By j. K. Jefery


which will be followed by the officials
of the New California jockey club the
coming season in the interest of clean
racing, Jockey Jimmy Mcintyre was
yesterday ordered to gallop no more
horses at the Emeryville track. Nc
Intyre was suspended at the recent
Seattle meeting, and since his return to
California has been helping T. w. Doss,
bis employer, get his horses ready for
the opening of the local racing season.
The edict that Mcintyre should not be
permitted to even do any gallopinS
came from Judge Z. c. Hopper, who
presided at Seattle and viii fill a SINH
lar position here. Judge Hopper is at
his home in Kentucky, but will reach
the coast soon. 1t is intimated that he
may go even further upon his arrival
from the east by denying all suspended
boys the privileges of the racetrack
inclosure.
Frank Taylor, who viii train enc division of
S. c. Hildreth's California stable this winter,
viii leave New York for San Francisco today
with Angelus. Joe Madden and Schleswig, the
Hildreth horses that he has been racing on the
New York tracks since Hildreth west.
Hildreth win decide until after Taylor's ar
rival whether he will send him 10 Arcadia or let
him remain in charge of the local division of the
Hildreth stable. In any event, none of the
Hildreth horses will go 10 the Santa Anita track
until after the opening at Emeryville. Hidreth
himself would much prefer to remain here and
will defer his proposed departure for Arcadia un-
/ til the weather puts efectual embargo upon
I local training operations. Hildreth is devoting
considerable thought TO his stake nominations
All of his good horses will be named for all the
stakes to which they are eligible and htted.
There is not question but that Hildreth will be
the principal nominator for the stakes at both
California tracks this winter, and the chances
that he Will head the list of winning owners
at both tracks, as he did last season He fig
ured up yesterday that the 10 horses that he
purposes TO nominate for the Burns handicap
cost him less than S122, 600. Jockey Koerner
who will do most of Hildreths riding during the
winter, started in yesterday 10 get himself into
shape for the opening by galoping horses. Hill
| drefh expected to have second call on Jockey
Shilling in California this winter and left the
east with that idea, but learned on reaching the
coast that DR.. Rowell, the Williams trainer, had
obtained it. Hildreth will ride Shilling whenever
he obtain his services, however, as he enter
tains very high opinion Of the boys ability as
a rider.
Applications for stalls at Emeryville were re-
ceived yesterday from the Marchmont stable,
three horses; Harry Froelichs two horses; A Ross.
four horses; FL Primero stable, four yearIings
and four older horses
H T. Griffith will have IS horses in training
here, u Of which viii come from New York.
This string will contain eight yearlings
Hildreth was considerably aroused yesterday
over the publication of unfounded report that
he had threatened to forthwith remove his big
| racing establishment TO Arcadia in consequence
| of the action of Superintendent Grant in closing
the main track at EmeryviIe Thursday, follow
/ ing the rain of the day before Hidreth said
| that the statements credited to him were made
I up out of whole CLOTH entirely without
foundation. and put him in false light. Had
have had no use for il, as he had no horses to
work that day. He realizes, too, that the
! closing Of the track can not very well be avoided
under such circumstances as prevailed. if it is
TO be kept in proper condition for racing
Trance. the Ben Brush FLY whose recent VIC
tory in the nursery handicap represented a most
| creditable performance, has won more than 500
600 for George 0dom since H. T. Griffin sold
her to that young trainer for 81, 500 last spring.
/ The impost of 124 pounds that she successfully
handled in the Nursery was the biggest weight
ever carried TO victory by flly in that historic
| fixture. Her sire, Ben Brush enjoys a similar
distinction among the colts that have won the
| Nursery. Ben Brush extra good year
/ old in 1895, had superior as year old
/ and at years he won the Suburban. It is too
much TO hope that Trance will be as good a 3,
year old as her illustrious sire, but that she will
be an exceedingly useful filiy on the coast this
winter is prediction which is warranted by her
! splendidly consistent record since she left here
last spring. She has been a wonderfully tough
campaigner, and it is conceded that much of
the credit for her series of successes is due to
the skill with which George 0dom has handled
her
odom, first class Jockey only few seasons
back, Was lightly thought Of a trainer at the
| beginning of the year, but he has earned fairly
| and squarely a high place among the horsemen
OF the east. he Is painstaking, thorough and
| methodical and he knows how to wait odom
the summer the daughter of Ben Brush was
/ bothered by bad knee, and for time IL looked
as If odom might have to lay her up for the
year.
Horsemen who have recently reached the coast
from the east speak very highly of Odom and
| predict that he will become very popular with
San Francisco race goers this winter.
j The big racing establishment of Frederick A
4 Forsythe will reach Emeryyille from New York
4 next week. The Forsythe horses 40 in Num-
Der, will take their departure from New YORK
for the coast today. Having shown on nn-
4 merous occasions when pitted against high
I class company on the metropolitan tracks that
Il they possess speed and endurance the horses
! of the Forsythe stable are bound to be a
Il factor TO be reckoned with here Raleigh
4 Colston, well known negro trainer who has
| developed many good horses for Forsythe will
! accompany the stable west.
The main track was reopened for training
purposes yesterday morning, but was still
muddy from the rain Wednesday. and the train
ers eontented tkemselves with slow work The
most notable piece of work during the dev
was by Ocean Shore which good colt went five
furlongs in l:05. County Clerk and other horses
from the R. L. Thomas barn were ont and
acted though mud was their forte
