This might appropriately be called Jul
venile day at Pimlico. There are three
races for two-year-olds on the program
one Of which is the Pimlico Nursery
stakes. 1t Is a rare thing to see three
races for horses of this age on race
program. but all have filled we'll. The
two overnight events were. as a matter of
fact. overilled and 1t was necessary to
exclude horses from each Of them in or
der to bring the fields down to the limit
of twelve starters. permitted by the width
Of the track, at the starting point Of
these races.
The Nursery has eleven entries. The
field includes Chiffon Belle, the sensation
al winner of the Clabaugh last Saturday;
Master John. DR.. Duenner, the runner
up in the Clabaugh, and other smart
youngsters. Chiffon Belle takes up a
penalty for winning the Clabaugh and 1t
will be interesting to see her perform
under the additional impost. She doubt
less will be the public's choice, but Mas
ter John will have almost as many ad-
mirers and several of the others will
come in for substantial support The
race will be worth more than $1,000 net
to the winner, and is more valuable
event than any race run at the New York
tracks this season to date.
Some of the old-timers who can see
nothing but four-n1ile heats as the proper
distance for horses to race may throw up
their hands at the mere thought OF three
juvenile races in one day as early as the
4th day of May, but the change has come
in racing the same as in all other en-
crowds like to see the development of
the youngsters and have no fault to find
with the conditions.

license to ride it is not at all improbable
that Dalmation will be sent over, provid-

The colors of August Belmont have been
very successful at the meeting. When

eighth victory for the maroon and black
cap in twelve days Of racing. Some of
these races must have been particularly
pleasing to the chairman of the Jockey
Club. notably those Of Asticot and Pris-
Gillian, both Of which were failures in
England last year.
Belmont has won four two-year- old
races, but it is extremely doubtful If there
