ALLIANCE RUMORfD
Winning Wizard of Emeryviue
May Hook Up With Noted
Stake Contender
By E. w. CLARKE

By the end of this week most of the
quality, class" to the Emeryville win
ter meeting will be on their way east.
The 20 odd Bedwell performers that
placed the wizards name at the head
of winning owners will make their de-
parture Wednesday, so the green and
yellow polkadots will probably appear
today for the last time this season. 1t
will be worth trip across the bay to
see Prince Ahmed. joint holder with
Chapultepec of the American furlong
record, show himself in a race. Con-
sidering that he has not raced since
leaving Juarez, and that he is not par
tial to soft going, it is no certainty
that Prince Ahmed can win todays
race.
Bedwells invasion of the metropoli-
tan turf may develop an alliance hard
to beat. Sam Hildreth has first call
on the services of Jockey Carol Shil-
ling, who is conceded to be the best
jockey in America, however erratic his
temper may be. 1t is practically set
tied that Bedwell will haye second call
on the boy, with Frank Hitchcock.
president of the Saratoga association
having prior right to use him on
pair of promising 2 year olds AS
Bedwell has no baby racers, this call
will not interfere.
Hiidreth's big string is chiefly of
stake caliber. Bedwelrs will prove
more useful in the cheaper races that
go to make UP the average days card,
SO between Hildreth and Bedwen.
Shilling should have no trouble in TAX
ing long lead in Jockey honors.
With Taplin still on the ground, the
"unfashionable" jockeys had chance
to split up the weeks 1aurels, though
Eddie Martin celebrated his last days
in the saddle at Emeryville by riding
six winners If 1t is a sign that he is
returning to form, he should do well
with the Respess string in Kentucky.
Vosper will leave Thursday, and his
friends think he is making a mistake
in going east. A hard booting front
rider, of his type, would be practically
invincible at the bush meetings.
Mentry rode four winners last week
A. Thomas and A. Williams, the COL
ored lads three each: Vosper and Rice
two, and Callahan. Bevan. Cavanaugh,
Gross, Page. SeIden, Gargan, Denny
and Kederis one each.
Inclement has come to be known as
the iron horse" at Emeryville and
his consistency has been remarkable.
He has run in all kinds of races fin
ished third to Arasee and second to
such good ones as Righteasy, Rosslare
and John Fl. Sheehan. In 80 racing
days he has started "a times winning

NEW YORK RACING
OUTLOOK BRIGHT
Carter Handicap at Aqueducf
April IS VIII Inaugurafe
Big Season

NEW YORK, March 27.-Nineteen
days more and Mars Cassidy will spring
the barrier for the Carter handicap at
Aqueduct and thereby inaugurate the
Metropolitan horse racing season OF
1910. Then onward, throughout the
spring, summer and fall. and until
nearly time for the snow to fall, turf
enthusiasts will have six days of racing
weekly at the local tracks, except for
a portion of August, when the scene
of operations will be transferred to
Saratoga. The season will open at
Aqueduct. April Is. and close at the
same track November Is.
PREDICT BIG SEASON
Jockey club officials are predicting a
splendid season, a sort of rejuvena-
tion from the blight that fell on it
from the passage OF the anti-betting
laws two seasons ago. Court decisions
have been rendered that prescribe the
manner in which a wager may be laid.
and it is said this year the various
racing associations will so police their
tracks as to render impossible the bus1-
ness of book making.
Paraphrasing the words of we'll
known follower of the turf, the making
of books will not be permitted this
year; an individual may bet as an in
dividual or ally, but no record of the
wager will be made, any person caught
registering a bet will be given the
gate" and the gate from now on means
practically banishment for life from
ali courses under the jurisdiction of
the jockey club.
STEEPLECHASING FEATURE
Especially interesting this season
will be the steeplechasing events. The
association that has in hand this
branch of the sport has decided public
interest in the events over the sticks
can. be conserved only by giving the
people high class racing and to this
end numerous good horses are being
schooled over the jumps.
Twenty mine horses are eligible to
start in the Carter handicap at seven
furlongs for a purse of S2,500.
The F'uturity, the Brooklyn handicap.
the Suburban, the Brighton handicap,
the Belmont stake and the Empire City
handicap all have record breaking nom

Fogler is riding faster than ever, and

1t is a toss up in regards to the WIN
ner of the motor-paced race. Collins,
the present champion, is in superb form
and so is Wiley and Menus Bedell.
Bedell, in his workout, has shown I'M

that he will be the winner. Wiley is
a good nan at his style of racing and
has shown a great deal of improvement
over his riding of a week ago. and he
