The opening Of Saratoga Monday
will signalize q shift Of the racing eye
route In the first Is made to order for
CROYDEN At the seven-furlong dis
lance he should be found on top all
the way. He won his last. displaying a
lot Of his old-tine speed In doing so,
and this field should have little to
menace him. SUBLEVADO Is better
than his races suggest. He has been
patiently prepped for race Of this sort
and seems about ready for the question.
CROWS NEST was Q At horse back II:
April. Some of that speed might land
him In the money In this field.
PINK STAR seems to have the speed
Of this party. He has not been to the
races this year, but his form UP here
last season was good enough TO give
him o clear edge over this Kind Of OPP
position. POLISH promises to develop
Into Q fair sort Of timber topper. Not
. champ at the game by any means,
but steady-going fellow that can hold
his own when not too annbitiously
placed. The one to beat. He may ex-
perience some trouble In holding BOLD
KNIGHT safe II the latter races to
best form. The foreigner has been
cracking UP against tough company,
and the contention here may prove to
his liking. Dangerous.
The Flash will present three Of the
sharpest 2-year-olds In o renewal for
supremacy of their division. graf
TAN, PROMETHEUS and SARAZEN
II have been dividing up the honors,
beating each other back and forth with
dismaying regularity. They constitute,
with one or two exceptions, the poten-
tial champions Of their age. and 50 far
there Is little TO choose between them.
Fator will have the colors up on
GRATTAN. He seems to have what
edge there may be In the race.
PROMETHEUS was outgamed by the
top one last time they met. He gets
Is pounds from him Monday, more
than last time. That might have some
bearing on the result. SARAZEN II
Is the best son of High Time shown
this year. He has earned q reputation
for himself already. He rates close up
with the top pair here.
SUN FORWARD has been threaten
ing good ones in his recent races. He
seems to have reached his best form,
and the son Of Sun Briar should find
this field to his liking. HIS last few
give him q wide margin over CHICATIE
The latter at times has shown flashes
Of greatness, but his general form does
not warrant rating him more than close
to the top one. SAGE BOYS makes his
first start Of the year Monday. He must
be In shape TO race with these. The
route Is to his advantage and II ready
he might split the top two.
D1AvoLo has way of taking the
best into camp when he Is at top form.
His races ut Aqueduct show him to
have all his speed, and the fact that he
Is asked to concede weight to all In this
field shows what esteem he Is held in.
He should be able to give them real
battle. His stablemate. DISTRACTION,
is gradually finding his form. He is re-
garded as Q mighty high-class colt by
two. DISPLAY ran one Of his good
races to be a fast-going second out In
Chicago last start The route here
should be more to his liking. but the old
fellow Is too unreliable to rate above
the top two. SUN EDWIN has run up
O long string Of wins by dropping into
soft spots He was pitted against good
ones out at Arlington recently. and ne
ran a nice race. Dangerous here.
sQUEAKY has been knocking at the
door long enough. The son Of High
Time Is ready to graduate. and unless
unexpected speed develops in here Mon
day will be the day. MAYA might be
capable of offering severe opposition
He has been wasting his speed against
tough fields, and on several occasions
has shown q fash of his ability. Likely
to be the one to beat. JOSHUA. a sor
of Man o. War, has some clever works
he may need education.
The last is q fairly open affair. Sc
many of them have shown little In pub
lie. and most Of them have been out
merely for education and seasoning
However. WAR SAINT. on one or two
occasions, has displayed real speed. His
last calls for little. but he was over his
head then. BATTLING ON has yet to
race to fine trials. He Is likely to be
the one the top one must beat. MAD
KISS, a filly from the Whitney barn,
Is an improving miss. She seems to
have enough speed TO break her into the
first three, and real Improvement might
