RIG FIELD ENTERED
IN RICH FUTURITY
Twenty-f0ur Juveniles Named
for $4,000 Stake-Tufter's
Form Reversal.
By HENRY ". KING.

This is Futurity Day. The historic
turf classic will be decided at Belmont
Park about o'clock. 1t is for two-year-
olds. at six furlonss. down the straight
course. and Will be worth $4,000.
And the race promises to furnish one
OF the greatest contests in the history Of
the stake. Twenty-four Juveniles, every
one of them trained to the minute are
entered. and every one of them has more
than an outside chance of winning the
rich prize and the immortal fame that
goes to the victor.
1t Is the largest field that has been
named overnight for the event since
Savable won in 1902, and 1t probably is
the most open race since its inaugural
In 1883.
There Is no Man o. War In It I: no colt.
70 filly, no gelding which stands out as
the fastest or sturdiest. Norwich. Miss
Joy and Kai-Sang. the three leading
Juveniles of the year, will not start, and
with them out owners, trainers, handi-
cappers and clockers are up the proven
bial tree of doubt in regard to the prob
able winner.
whitney Entry the Choice.
Because he win be represented by four
royalty bred youngsters, Harry Payne
Whitney's entry undoubtedly will be the
favorte. He has named Bunting.
Whiskaway. Cherry Tree and Rocket.
The first three are winners. and each of
them has shown great bursts of speed
In his races and In his trials. Rocket
liz an untried youngster, a son of Broom
stick and First Flight. He has worked
very fast, and Jimmy Rowe. his trainer,
thinks exceptionally well OF him.
For the event Harry F. Sinclair. owner
Of the Rancocas Stable, has leased from
John T.. Madden Surf Rider and Harri-
dan. Both of these youngsters have won
impressively enough to warrant the be-
lief they are high class stake horses.
They will have host Of supporters and
before the barrier goes up might replace
the Whitney quartet as the favorites.
MY Play Works Fast.
My Play, Man O. Wars full younger
brother. has worked best for the event
and although he was beaten the two
times he started he will be heavily sup
ported. He Is a big, gross colt and If
interfered with might stop and be beaten
off. but IL he Is lucky and gets free
and clear sailing will be hard to beat.
He will have Prelude as a stable mate.
Little Is known Of Prelude except some
mediocre morning trials.
Mrs. A. r. Lawson's Sweep BY has
been working nicely for the race and
some experts give him as good a chance
as any. Although he leased Surf Rider
and Harridan, John Madden will be
represented in the race. Deadlock and
Santa Clara will carry his colors. Dead
lock worked a phenomenal trial on the
slow Oklahoma track at Saratoga. bu,
he has started twice since then and
showed nothing to warrant the belief
that he was a real good colt He might
run back to that Saratoga work to-day
and II he does there s no horse In the
race that will beat him. Santa Clara Is
| speedy fllly and trials and races give
her chance OF being close to the leader
| at the finish.
Mrs. Wilfrid viau's Firm Friend. Nor
ton Schwartz's Toll and Column, J. s.
| Coden's Lord Baltimore and Roulette,
| w. S. Kilmer's Sunreigh. Mrs. Payne
Whitney's Sedge, Rib Grass. Galantman,
Dream Of Allah. MyReverie. Bud Fisher.
and Chesterbrool< are the others named
to start. and there isn't one of them that
won't have many supporters.
The racing yesterday was only medio-
ere. Overnight events made up the card
and platers held sway In most OF the
events. The fifth brought about a race
which aroused the ire Of all the race
goers present and probably will result
In an investigation by the stewards. 1t
was three horse affair, Tufter. sunny
land and Dark Hill making up the field.
Tufter won in a gallop like champion,
with Sunnyland second and Dark Hill
third.
Tufter Turns somersault.
A man nan.ed II. Alderman owns
Tufter. and f. Sietas trains him. Last
Monday Tufter started against three
platers, including Sunnyland. and was
beaten off. He showed speed for a quar-
ter OF a mile and then stopped as IL he
burst blood vessel or had a sponge in
his nose. He was the favorite on that
occasion. Yesterday he was at 4 to
and ne ran like a different horse. He
took the track at the start and was
never headed. All through the home-
stretch he was eased up. but he won by
half dozen lengths and covered the
mile and sixteenth In | IA 2-5, the
same time Mad Halter ran the distance
on Tuesday And TO show how great was
the improvement in the Alderman horse
he beat Sunnyland Off.
The feature OF the programme was
the Cedarhurst Handicap at one mile.
Arnold Rothstein's George won IT. with
Samuel Riddles Dream OF the Valley
second and Mrs w. NJ. Jeffords's Two
Feathers third. George was nuch the
best and after following the pace to
the head OF the stretch went to the front
and galloped home three lengths ahead
of Dream Of the Valley.
whisk, Mademoiselle Cadeau. Nose
Dive and Mary Patricia were the other
winners
