NEW Handicap plan
. FOR TROTTINC RACES
Mark Off Positions With
Whitewash and Put Fast
Horses on Outside
WILL BE TRIED OUT
ON THE GRAND CIRCUIT

Handicapping trotting horse has
been tried by nearly every trotting
association of any Importance in the
United States, but the scheme OF
bringing all horses together at the
finish by conceding distance from
standing starts or by weight has been
to large extent a failure. A new
scheme has been evolved, and Will
be put into practice next summer at
the first three Grand Circuit meetings
at least-Cleveland, Detroit and
Grand Rapids.
The new idea is SO simple and ap-
parently so certain in results that its
instantaneous success is predicted by
turfmen. The new handicap simply
makes the horse that is faster than
the others go to a longer mile, and
this is accomplished by the circular
or oval track A mile racetrack
measures $3.50 feet three feet from
the pole or inside the fence. The
horse in second place, If he trotted
the entire mile in the same position.
about seven feet from the pole, would
be trotting about 50 feet more than
one mile and the over the mile dis
tance would be increased consider
ably every horse position further out
from the pole
By making Whitewash paths around
the turns every horse VIII have his
position set for him. Tho race un-
der the new plan will he open to
free-for-all trotters. and horses up
| to the 2.07 class will be eligible.
! After the initial race at Cleveland
there will be a reclassillcation for
! Detroit and another for tho race at
Grand Rapids, so that at the time
! OF the third contest the handicaps
/ should be reduced 10 a fno point
The trotting turf needs this inno-
vation more than any other scheme
TO furnish earning capacity for the
racehOrse. AS Il has been for scv-
( eral years a racehorsc has ony one
year of profitable winning capacity.
After he has gone through one season
J of success and has taken fast rec
ord he gets into the frec-for-ail, and,
no matter what his class and merit
may be, there cannot be found
enough other horses to warrant rae
. ing associations to offer enough
money to make big winnings possible.
A marked record example was fur
nished by the free-fOr-all trots last
summer. They were never more than
three starters. and often the prizes
had to be divided between two horses
Of one ownership. Anvil and Dude
Archdale. Notwithstanding the fact
that Dude Archdale is the fastest
trottIng horse in training. capable of
racing three heats in 05 or better,
. her gloss winnings last year we're
( less than $4,000.
This system Of handicapping should
furnish good race every week for
