HARD TEST THIS WEEK
Grand Union Stakes TODAY and
Sanford Memorial Saturday
Bring Stars Together.

SARATOGA, Aug. 10.--The greatest inter-
est I'm the stakes set for decision this week
at the Saratoga Association meeting lies
II. the meeting OF the two year-olds Thos.
arranged for three ycar-olds exclusively
have selling conditions and are not likely
to attract the best Of that age. SO far
as that goes the Performance OF An
drew Mllers 'Roa,ner on Saturday. when
lac walked away with the Trdvcts, Is con
s'dCrcd a restraint to competition in the
three year-old division. There ~ one hope
to extend the Miller champion and that
Is In Harry Payne Whtueys PennanL
which broke down after his only race this
year, which ne won, and which showed
that ne retained the speed that caused
him to be- returned winner ~ the Fu-
turity last year.
Pennant has been gong along nicely In
his gallops and II Rowe Is able to get
him TO the post taere Is no doubt that
he will give II good account OF himself
The Travers on caturday was the last
opportunity for Pennant to NEE, Roamcr
IA an event exclusively Tor three-year-
ulds until the Saranac Handicap, which
will be run Tuesday, August 10.
Should the Whitney crack round to form
and Luke McI.uke come on from Canada
there will be a race worth going miles TO
see. II is on the cards that Roamer and
pennant may meet this week, as both
are entered in the Champlan Handicap
next saturday, for which older horses are
gibe.
The Grand Union stakes for two-year-
Odds will be run tomorrow and there N
lust a chance that James Butler Will
take advantage of this fixture TO send
Pebbles To the post FOR another meeting
with Harry Payne Whitney, Regret
There is no doubt IN the minds Of those
who saw the Saratoga Special run that
Pebbles would have won easily n he had
got away with the rest Of the he,d. This
by no means assures him victory over
Regret " hen next they meet, for there is
good deal to bee said In favor Of the
Broomsti ck--Icrsey Lightning hlly Not
only was % her nrst start on Saturday,
but she had the outside position, which
has been fatal to the chances Of 50 many
GOOD horses In sprint races. Adherents
Of the Whitney stable assert that Regret
Will show great Improvement when she
starts next and that Pebbles may meet
WIKI more opposition than = expected by
his admirers
The Mohawk Stakes Tor three-year-
olds on Wednesday Is a selling event,
but on Thursday there viii be another
rich race Tor tWo-year-ulds in the Al
bany, for which $1,000 is added by the
