J0YNER RANKS FIFTH
IN ENGLISH RECORD

LONDON, November l6.-No more pop
ular turfmen have ever raced their horses
on Newmarket Heath than August Bel
mont. James r. keene and Harry Payne
Whitney. While other Americans had
their methods criticised in former wears.
these men are held in high esteem BY the
members of the English Jockey Club. who
hope that their colOrs will always be a
factor in the sport i'm this country.
And last. but not least Andrew Jack
son Joyner. the noted trainer who came
over from America last fall with the Bel
mont and Whitney horses I'm charge is
as popular as are his employers. There
fore when Joyners charges won over
SO.Hn this season and he captured thirty
races with eighteen horses. which placed
him fifth on the winning list no one be-
grudged him his good luck The fact
! that he Will remain in England another
year tends to testify that he. too, is sat-
| iSfied with the treatment that he has re-
ceived from the English trainers
Joyner has accomplished wonders with
his string or racers. 1t is true that Fair
| Play, Priscillian and Stamina, the three
best horses that he had in his string
when he shipped them from America,
were failures here. but his other horses
| improved marvelously and made some
amends for the shortcomings of his
champions. Joyner was disappointed by
II ali idN pOoT SHOWING, GnOuSn III was
the judgment of many English trainers
that no horse could stand the campaign
he had as three-year-old in America
and ever regain his form. Priscillian,
with all unbeaten record when he ar
| rived was unable to sustain that repu-
| tatiOn. his nearest approach to victory
here being a length away from Sir Martin
| in the struggle for the Challenge stakes
at Newmarket. The trip across the water
seemingly knocked Stamina out. and she
| failed to score
| The remarkable part of Joyner's success
was that he won a number of races with
horses that were not considered above
| fOurth-rate class by American turin en-
| Delirium, fOur-year-old bay gelding that
was graduated from the maiden class
| shortly before he was shipped to Eng
/ land, won three times in succession here
after five early failures. and rounded up
| the season a fast sprinter. Perseus. a
fine three-year-old chestnut colt by Per-
| simmon out Of Urania. won three of the
| eleven races in which he started and
| earned S7,j0O.
Twelve of Mr.. Whftney's two-year odds
! earned brackets. The best youngster of
/ the lot is Whisk Broom, a chestnut colt
| by Observation-Disclosures. This young
| ster made bold bids for the richest stakes
and was pitted against the champions OF
his age. He ran Lemberg. a half
| brother TO Pretty Polly, to a neck In the
| Middle Park plate. He also showed fine
speed against Neil Cow, Admiral Hawk
/ and LemDerg In the Champagne stakes at
| Duncaster. He shook Gelatine all I'D and
| easily beat him for the Prince of Wales
| plate at York. Trainers regard the lead

| this order: Neil Cow, Lemberg and Whisk
| Broom
| Top o the Morning, a bay gelding by
| Hamburg-Morningside. is another smart
yOungster that has raced consistently. In
| nine starts he was only unplaced once
! and he wound up the season by winning
his last three races. Another two-year-
| old that showed well was the chestnut
colt BroOmstick-Sailie OF Navarro. This
half brother to Salvidere. a gelding that
was distinctly high class in America, ad-
| ministered decisive beating to Winki-
pop in the Arlington plate. and then
served Charles OMalley similar dose

Joyner will leave for America in a few
days, but he has assured his friends here
that he will return in time to spend
Christmas with the trainers at New
market.
