to be reversed in the coming revival OF
Kentucky's richest and most important
autumn special for two-year-olds The
Kentucky Jockey Club stakes. race of
one mile. will be run at Churchill Downs
in September. 1t will be the first great
two-year-old autumn special decided
anywhere In the United States after the
S45,000 Hopeful, the star Juvenile attrac-
ton of Saratoga summer racing, because
the Churchill Downs meeting this year
will be the first Of the Kentucky autumn
sessions and not the last or next to last
as 1t has been in the past. The value
of the Kentucky Jockey Club stakes to
the winner will be about $4,000.
Practically every two-year-old that
has discovered stake winning class on
Eastern courses this season is In the
Kentucky Jockey Club stakes along with
lot that have been working like the
wind and are expected by their trainers
and owners to show something worth
while in the course of the Saratoga meet
ing that began last Tuesday. There are
a raft OF these dark horses in both
Eastern and Western owned stables, and
this fact gives Saratoga racing signifi-
canoe in the eyes Of patrons of Western
racing 1t would not in other circum-
stances have.
There will be no conflict as to dates
such as made 1t impossible last spring
for three-year-olds that took part in the
$4,000 Kentucky Derby renewal to start
in the $4,000 Preakness revival to pre-

gagements and then returning to New

Good Colts In Stake.
Prominent among the youngsters OF
established Eastern reputation in the
Kentucky Jockey Club stakes are Harry
payne Whitney's Goshawk and En-
chantment, Mrs. Payne Whitney's Dust
about, Moonraker and Rompifg Home,
Harry f. Sinclairs Zev, Aladdin and
Coeur de Lion, Walter J. Salmon's
Mark Twain and Vigil, Willis Sharpe
Kilmer's Sunference and Sun Quest
James F. Johnson's Caveat Emptor and
Bluemont, Bud Fishers Cartoonist and
Brocade, J. S. Cosden's Martingale and
John Z. Madden's Mckee and Bud
Lerner.
OF these colts Bud Lerner has so Tar
accomplished the most. Bud, son OF
The Finn and Dreamesome is the only
youngster of high class In the East that
has succeeded in shouldering penalty
and winning. Victor at Jamaica In May
in the Youthful renewal Bud Lerner was
defeated under his weight In renewals
of the Hudson. Great American and Tre-
mont at Aqueduct But he went to
Yonkers in July and won the Whiri un-
der 125 pounds. Mckee, son of Ulti-
mus and Ballymena. won the Juvenile
at Belmont Park, but failed a little later
on in the Keene Memorial renewal, when
he tried to shoulder 12S pounds and
race with Cherry Pie, Cresta. Canaque
and Vigil.
Sunference, a son Of Sunbrier and
Conference, is the. smartest youngster
w. S. Kilmer has brought to racing. He
won the Hudson at Aqueduct. beating
Cherry Pie, the Keene Memorial winner :
Bud Lerner, Zev and Martingale. Cos
hawk, a strapping son of Whisk Broom
Cd. and Dovelet and a three parts
brother of Ararat defeated Sunference.
Bud Lerner and some others In the Great
American and was In turn beaten by
Martingale in the fremont, the first
Eastern special in which two year olds
have been asked to go six furlongs.
Martingale Is a strapping son OF Marti-
net and Lady Irma.
Caveat Emptor Promising.
The East View renewal was won by
Caveat Emptor, a whale of a son of
Celt and Bobolink H., colt that was
not hurried to racing early but which
improved swiftly once he got fairly
started. Caveat Emptor will be a much
better horse in September than he has
been so far. He is big enough to bear
the heaviest burdens without firing.
The regulations of Enchantment and
Cartoonist were made in Maryland In
the spring. Enchantment. a son OF the
young Spearmint stallion TO which Mrs
Payne Whitney and racing owe Cherry
Pie. the Keene Memorial winner. won
two sprints brilliantly at Havre de
Grace in April. Cartoonist a son Of
Celt and Honey Bee and the biggest
two-year-old, possibly. in the country,
scored once in Maryland. These colts
did not figure in the racing about New
York city in May, June and July because
they were among the Maryland victims
of influenza. They are now happily re-
covered.
The Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes
was inaugurated at Churchill Downs
two seasons back. and It's first winner
was Harry Payne Whitney's Tryster, a
son of Peter Pan and Tryst, which got
through his first season of racing with
out meeting defeat. The Kentucky
Jockey Club Stakes inaugural was the
sixth and last two-year-old race IN
which Tryster started. He beat dis
tjnguished company In Il. Among the
colts that finished behind him we're Grey
lag. the destined Eastern three-year-old
champion OF 1921, and Behave Yourself.
the son of Marathon that was to beat
him (Tryster) in the Kentucky Derby
renewal Of 1921. Back of these three
colts finished Brother Batch, the colt
that was to beat Behave Yourself and
Uncle velo In tho Latonia Derby re-
newai of 1921.
Mr.. whitney will hold remarkably
strong hand in the impending Kentucky

speed, looks like a coming distance run
