Most of the Steeds Working Out
There Give Good
Promise.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

NNE of the busiest tracks in he
metropolitan district at this time
Is the parlor track at Hohokus.
This track was opened to trainers on
May /, and in barely two weeks of re-
peat work many of the horses have
already beaten 2:30. The bay trotting
Davis, has been a mile n 2:24, last
quarter in "a seconds.
The fast bay trotting gelding The
Preacher, in the combination of Peter
Goode, who during the past season O
a record of 2:12A over the half-mile
track at Bethlehem, Pa, worked a mile
in 2:3o Tuesday, last quarter In
35 seconds, and the last eighth In
6A seconds. His trainer told me that
this is more brush by far than the
gallant son of Liberty Chimes ever ex-
hibited at this season of the year, and
the genial Peter confidently expects to
mark him right at 2:06 over a big track
before the close of the present season.
The most talked-of trotter being
trained In Hohokus is Bistan, 2:261a. by
Bingara. Pete Goode gave him his rec
ord at Great Darlington last fall, and
while at this time he has not beaten
2:35 in his work, he has been an eighth
In 10 seconds, and for a quarter "a
outbrush The Preacher. / saw him
work in 2:35 Tuesday, and | believe
that he can trot a mile today right az
2:20 without hurting him one particle
if it we're necessary for him to do so.
Among the PAGERS now in training at
the parlor track the chestnut gelding
Qapafor Cat1in Il, 4ha btn ohAru Thie
fellow is owned by j. w. Gyles, the
Paterson enthusiast, and is in the out
fit of Florey Davis, and there is every
reason to believe at this time that ne
is the making of a very high-class
horse. He has been a mile ii 1928, and
| saw him come the last quarter in 31A
seconds ard the last eighth in 14b sec
onds, and while his trainer was asking
him for all he had, he did not take u
long breath when he finished his mile.
During the past season Senator Cat
lin was quite a good race horse, taking
a record of 2:Nh. He was, however,
the victim of misfortune, being
"mussed' up in an accident in August,
and as he was but a ~4-year-old horse,
he was badly frightened, and for the
balance of the season was very fussy in
a field of horses.
His trainer has, however, timed him
in a gang several times this spring,
and as he has apparently forgotten his
accident and Is in no way timid there
is every reason to believe that he will
do we'll this year. That his owner and
trainer think we'll of him is evidenced
by the act that they have named
him in about 5000 worth of stakes.
Another that has the railbirds on
edge is the bay trotting mare The Free
Lady, by The Bondsman, in the outfit
of Pete Goode. This mare has been In
2:35 n has stepped a quarter in 81
seconds. Her trainer and those who
have watched her take her work be-
trotters in sight. Johnnie Packer has
a good young trotter in The Niece, by
The Bondsman. This mare is a A.
year-old and is owned by Abe Terwil-
Tiger. While she has not beaten 2:40
h can step a quarter in Sc seconds
and do it like a good horse ought to
Pack is also training Endow, 2:14A
owned by John Petre, and some young
things by Ed Winter that at this writ
ing look like trotters.
Henry Pope is at Hohokus with thret
head, but BY reason of the fact that he
was thrown out of a cart, causing hin
to break his shoulder. Pete Goode il
