In Relay. All Over and Ray jay the
didates which will have to be reckoned
with when racegoers are figuring out
the probable contenders for the rich
Pimlico classic. All three were tried
last season and all OF them showed form
good enough 10 warrant the belief that
they would have more than an outside
chance OF beating any horse of their
age. except the unbeaten Norwich.
Relay Is the star of the stable. This
son of Assagai and War Doll won the
Walden. the one mile classic, as juve-
nile. last season. and beat a good field.
lie has grown considerably and spread
out into as good a looking three-year-
old as there is in local training. Jim
FitzsiInmons is sending him along slow
~, but says ne will have him ready for
the Preakness barring accident He
says the colt will give a good account
OF himself and be close to the winner. II
he isn't on top,
In All Over Fitz believes he has a
colt which will hold his own with all
the three-year-olds in the country. in
Guiding Norwich. when the distance
stretches out. All Over is a slayer and
gets better the further he goes. He is a
and has led F'itz to believe he would
be at home in a two mile race.
Ray Jay, another Assagai colt. has
more speed than either OF these stable
mates, but he Is an unknown factor
when It comes to staying ability. He
showed a tendency to stop in a few OF
his races last year, but he has grown
considerably over winter and may spring
a surprise by travelling as far as either
Relay or All Over
Fitz Is pointing all three Tor the
Preakness and says that they Will start
il they are ready even il Norwich starts
in it instead of the Derby. II have gos
to find out how good my colts are. and
/ might as we'll find out as early as
can. If Norwich starts he will beat us
if he Is as good as all racegoers think
he is, but won't dodge him. Morvicn
might start in the Prsakness and beat
me. but he won't beat me in the Bel
mont. He isn't eligible. while my three
are. Lucky Hour. Missionary. Kali
sang. Olympus. Bunting, Whiskaway
and Sidareal are in it, They are good
colts. but don't think any more OF
them than do of my own"
Fitz will have a jumper this season
which he believes will win races through
the field. He is Grenadler, a son of
Fair Play and Mission. Matt Smart
schooled and trained him and liked his
work so well he entered him in all tn }
stakes at Pimlico.
Jockey Ponce arrived at the Quincy
Stable at Aqueduct yesterday. He said
he was In good condition and raady for
hard work. He said he was going to
remain on his good behavior and Fitz-
simmons impressed on him that he
wanted only honest and Industrious
boys around his stable. He weighs 10s
pounds.
Al GuntlIer. who trained for James
Butler last season and formerly was
employed by John Sanford. Clifford
Cochran and prominent stables in Eng
land. France and Germany, has opened
a public stable and will locate at Aque-
duct.
Mrs. Payne Whitney's jumpers in
charge OF Vincent Powers have been at
Belmont for nearly two weeks and are
going along nicely. All the veteran
trainers at the park predict Vincent
will prove as good a trainer as he was
a Jockey. Mrs. Whitney has erected a
new cottage at cost of $4,000 for
Vincent and her other stable hands.
George w. Loft has two OF his own
breeding at the park and they arc fine
lockers. They are Kippie and Krugie.
Kippie IS by Broomsticll out OF Seam
stress and IS named after Max Hirsch's
little daughter Katherine. Krugie is by
BroomstclS out Of Julia Leon. Both
have speed as we'll as good looks.
Bill Karrick. trainer for w. II. Coe.
and Jim Evans. who has charge of the
Clifford A. Cochrane string, have i'm
proved more than any thoroughbreds at
the course. They went into winter quar-
ters hobbling along on canes from rheu-
matisn1. Both are In such fine shape
now that they can run half a mile and
ride any pony at the park.
