turity of 1913.

Announcement has been made by the
Westminster Racing Association OF Its
usual rich stakes. to be decided at Bel
mont Park during the coming spring
meeting, the entries for these fixtures
closing December 81.
1t is usual that such announcement
should be made at this time, but owing
to the fact that the racing season was
curtailed in 1910 some doubt existed as
to whether or not the different associa'
lions would continue the stake programs
In the list, though the values are not as
great as in the more prosperous days OF
racing. are found all the notable races
that have been features Of this associa'
ton since its sport was conducted on the
old Morris Park track.
The races advertised to close December
81 are:
The Juvenile. for two-year-olds, at five
value Of $500.
The Ladies'. for three-year-old fillies, al
one mile, worth s., 500.
The Belmont, Of 5000, for three-year-
olds, at one mile and three furlongS.
The above classics are to be run during
the spring meeting.
The Matron stakes, as in former years
are divided, one for colts and geldings, ant
the other for FLIES. Both stakes are
worth $500 each. They will be decided
next autumn.
In 1912 the Ladies', the Belmont and
both ends Of the Matron are the races
advertised.
The Matron and the Belmont Of 191:
complete the list announced at this time
All OF the above are guaranteed races
but in such events the entrance money In
nearly all cases increases their value.
The fact that the association solicits
entries for both 1912 and 1913 is evidence
Of the confidence In the future for the
sport.
The Coney Island Jockey Club has is
sued entry blanks for the Futurity OF
1913, to close Monday. January 2, 1911.
The conditions are as In other years
as breeders throughout the country are
sanguine as to racing prospects at pres
ent the chances are favorable for a
big list Of nominations.
The association adds 5000. and thu
probabilities are that the stake will be
worth $4,000.
Nearly all the owners Of extensive
breeding establishments have retained
the best breeding material. and it is
therefore safe to assume that this his
toric event will bring together a field
worthy Of the best traditions Of the
race.
The various tracks on Long Island
each have a colony Of the best horses
will be pointed for exclusive racing in
the east.
The welcome announcement from the
Westchester Racing Association will
undoubtedly be followed by similar an.
nouncements from the Coney Island
Jockey Club and the Brooklyn locke!
Club. The other associations that do no
have a like number of futures never
make their announcements at this time
But turfmen expect these programs In
due season.

ure made known it's 1911 plans. and
