At P|NL|CIO
Maryland Jockey Club Adds
Another $4,000 Event to
Its Many Stakes.

The directors Of the Maryland
Jockey Club at a meeting held
recently decided on new stake to
be inaugurated at the Spring meet
ing of 1924.
The stake will be called 1.-THE
Dixie" which was one of the fea-
ures Of the old Maryland Jockey
Club. The conditions Of the new
stake will probably be for three
year-olds and upward at one mile
and three-sixteenths, and will have
an added value Of $4,000. There
will be an entrance fee Of $25 and
Q starting fee Of $500, all OF which
fees will go to the winner.
The stake will be a handicap,
entries for which will close on jan
uary /, 1924, and the weights will
be announced February /, 1924. The
race will be run during the spring
meeting in May of 1924.
While there has been no entrance
fees in most of he stakes given by
the Maryland Jockey Club, 1t is
EcOught best to have an entrance
fee in 1.-THE Dixie" so that only
such entries will be made as are
considered eligible to the race, and
IHus save the Handicapped from as
signing weights to a large number
of entries which really have no
place in the race, and no idea Of
starting.
Full conditions of the race will
be announced later, after all details
have been worked out and approved
by the Maryland Racing Commits.

At the autumn meeting the two
year-olds are well provided for with
the Pimlico Futurity, having SAC, 900
added and the Walden stake with
$4,000 added, both at a distance of
one mile. The three-year-olds have
q handicap, with $4,000 added at
one and one-quarter miles.
The Weight-For-Age races for all
ages, at six furlongs, one mile and
one-mile and furlong, give horses
an opportunity to win with their
weight up. The older horses have
'"rhe Bowie" at one mile and a half
and the "Pimlico Cup" at two
miles and a quarter, each with
$4,000 added. 1t was felt that in
the spring good race for the
older horses was needed since the
three.year-olds have the "Preak.
