kINTORE HIMSELF AGAIN

Andrew Miller's Roamer and Harry
Payne Whitney's Regret, rated the two
leading thorouhgbreds on the American
turf. may meet for the first time in the
early part Of the coming race season II
the plans of their owners and trainers
trainer Of Roamer. said yesterday that
he was contemplating sending the great
son of Knight E:rrant-Rosetree II. to
Louisville again this spring to compete
In the Kentucky Handicap. in which he
ran last year M was beaten by Mr..
Whitney's Borrow.
James Rowe, who trains for Mr.. Whit
ney, already has expressed his intention
of sending Regret after the big handi-
cap in Kentucky that Borrow captured
last year. This will keep the cracks Of
the Whitney and Miller stables out OF
the early racing in the metropolitan
district. as was the case last year. A
double triumph was scored In the Whit
| ney silks last season. az in addition to
the Kentucky Handicap won by Borrow
the Kentucky Derby was won by Regret.
Rowe will make an effort to repeat the
dual triumph. as 1t tx understood hat he
will take Thunderer or Dominant. or
perhaps both to the Kentucky course
To- run in the derby.
II both Roamer and Regret go to- the
post for the handicap IL will insure a
race that will be OF interest to the whole
country. Regret. nov "A four-year-old.
has never been beaten. and in her two
and three-year-old races she won with
the ease thSt suggested 1t would take "A
mighty good horse to finish in front Of
the daughter OF Observation-Disclosures
Lightning. Roamcr. though beaten 1T
times. has proved for two years that he
is the best Of the handicap division in
which he has carried off the laurcls for
the last two years.
The keatucky Handicap : a much
richer stake than any provided in the
East IN the early part al the season and
with sl0.O0o added money Is an induce
ment for the Eastern owners when there
are small pickIugs on the metropolitan
tracks.
