1923 Futurity
Stakes Attract
Record Entry
i ,4O2 Nominations for the
Belmont Park Juvenile
Classic Two Years Hence

horse industry in the United States is
splendidly illustrated in the entry list
for the Futurity Stakes Of 1923. This
greatest Of Juvenile classics, which is
decided in the early days of September
at Belmont Park, has just closed with
no fewer than 1,402 nominations
Every portion Of the United States
and Canada is represented in the list
and the liberal patronage accorded the
great event is an eloquent testimonial
to the merits of<stake offering in vogue
on Jockey Club tracks. The previous
record for the Futurity is beaten by
1T nominations and all records for
similar events in this country have
been eclipsed. One hundred and sixty
breeders are represented. Of this num-
Der forty-four named a single mare,
while twenty-five are represented by
| two. These small breeders are the
salvation Of the thoroughbred in
dustry, and the aim at all times has
been to increase their number.
Stake System Best
The number and character of the
nominations for the Futurity and other
events of the Westchester Racing AS
sociation and of the Saratoga Associa-
tion for the Improvement of the Breed
of Horses brought the following COM
ment from August Belmont, president
of the former organization:
has shown a periodic shifting of au-
thority and variation in public support
and interest The foundation of the
| turf must therefore be carefully looked
after, SO that as an institution the
sport can go on with great fixtures
such as these which can be counted
upon as enduring. This stake system
is best for the breeding industry, as a
definite and prospective engagement
attached to horse carries vital in
terest to both the owner and the
breeder.
"a good deal can be said for the
comfort, profit and ease Of mind of
the owner racing under the Maryland
plan of stake offering, in which the
obligation of the horseman is reduced
to minimum, and in most cases he
has none beyond the naming of his
entry for the race. On the other hand,
Maryland association desiring or
being compelled to liquidate could
and. would go out of business without
having any obligations to racing as q
deterrent from dropping out of the
sport. That system offers no assured
prospect for yearlings at our sales, the
future depending solely upon the pros
perity Of the association in question.
Definite Values Given
"Under the stake methods we offer
in New York, and in vogue in all coun-
tries having great turf history, pros
poets have been built up solidly Civ
ing definite values to the thorough
bred. This carries with it obligations
on the part of racing associations
which call for the greatest sacrifices
in order that those obligations may be
and racing associations together in
bond Of common interest The Mary
land system is a stimulant, I admit,
but ours is wholesome and steady
diet"
