The Washington times., 1935-08-31


the Saratoga season will not be
followed by a meeting at Belmont
Park. On Monday, New York's
autumn racing will open at Aque-
duct. Then come in turn ia
maica, Belmont, Empire, two
weeks at each course.
The switch in New York'S fall
schedule was made to hold the
big stables on Long Island. In
past years, with Belmont Park
all through on September Is,
almost every stable of impor-
lance shipped away to Maryland
and New England, lured by purses
and stakes of bigger value than
Aqueduct and Jamaica could af-
ford. But this fall, it is believed,
those stables with topclass horses
will patronize Aqueduct and ia
maica while awaiting Belmont's
opening-and the juicy stakes to
be contested there in october.
Wealthy owners probably will
ship individual candidates for
Maryland and New England
stakes to those sectors in time for
the event, then return them to
New York.
Asks Handicapped
At Saratoga the other day, a
racing follower approached a sue
cessful Handicapped.
Listen" he said, "a wealthy
fruit and produce dealer came
up to me a little while ago and
asked if 1 could tell him a long
shot with good winning
chance. l think he will bet on
it for me, too. Can you give
me horse for him."
The Handicapped pointed to an
outsider in the last race, saying
His recent works have been
better than for some time, 1
think he'll be in the money sure.
Tell your friend to play him
across the board"
whats his NUMBER" said the
other.
"His NUMBER" glared the
Handicapped. Cant you re-
member a horses name any
more-Or are you superstitiOus
about numbers?"
"Neither One," was the reply.
"But this guy speaks very
broken English. He'll never be
able to pronounce that horses
name. I've got to give him the
number"
Sure enough, few hours later,
you could hear the wealthy fruit
and produce dealer up in a box
screaming, Come on, you Number
Two! Number Two - come on"
Number Two, at to l for the
show, got up just in time to get
third place.
In All Shapes
Veteran horsemen will tell you
that good race horses come in all
hapes, sizes and colorS. They even
come with sprung knees. A knee
sprung horse stands on his fore
legs like a human who has bulged
his knees forward an inch or two,
instead of standing erect on his
pins. Being knee-sprung did not
keep Cherry Pie from setting a
new record for the mile in 1923,
nor did such knees prevent little
Robert J. from becoming one Of
the fastest pacing horses Of all
time. Many trainers like a knee
sprung horse, contending that
their tendons remain sound longer
than might be the case with nor
NAL legs.
