RACING AT BELMONT TODAY
Horse Dealers Sweepstakes Feature
Of Opening Events

There are more good trotters and
PAGERS stabbed at the Belmont Driving
Park than have been at the old place
since last years Grand Circuit meet
ing. Most of them are entered in to-
days events, but there are many being
prepared for engagements in the Grand
and other circuits.
The first 2:10 mile of the Eastern
season was paced yesterday by Prince
Pepper, 209h. in the Garrison stable,
in company with n green sidewheelcr by
The Northern Man. Aged trotters have
stepped around 2:12 and three year
olds in 2:15.
This is pretty good evidence that the
Belmont track is in shape for the spring
light harness classic, the Horse Deal
ers' Sweepstake, to be decided this aft
ernoon.
In some previous events there have
been more starters named. but expert
judges have declared that never has the
probable winner been so hard to pick
in advance.
Horses that did not show ability to
race around 2:12 have been declared
out by their trainers, leaving only the
best to compete.
