nj In the history Of the turf
" has q coming years outlook
been more promising than
that which We envisage for 1888.
Last year closed with record show
ing the turf to have attained greater
prosperity than ever before. This re-
suit was measurable by several factors,
among them being: U greater at
tendance: ca greater gate receipts:
60 greater distribution Of purse monies
to the horsemen; a. greater tax re-
ceipts for the State; (5) larger num-
Der Of horses engaged. and 60 a gen.
orally higher quality OF the sport itself.
From every viewpoint. 1t is a con-
servative judgment to say the rate Of
progress will be continued this year.
Certain basic reforms are under way
that will contribute to greater public
interest in racing.
Plans are being effectuated to re-
move the stress too generally existing
on 2-year-old racing and to increase
opportunities for the older horses. The
recently concluded meeting Of the
National Association Of State Racing
Commissions adopted the resolutions
prepared and offered by New York
whereby there will be a definite in
crease In riding weights. This will
give more years Of usefulness to the
good boys who, under the old rules,
almost dropped out of contention be-
cause Of the encouragement given to
lightweight riders.
Stakes in Big Races Boosted.
WE SHALL come into the season
with minimum of 1O3 pounds
In all overnight condition and claim
ing races and we shall not permit
allowances to start at other than 6
pounds below scale.
The new uniform rule with respect
TO apprentices. it is hoped. will aid In
the bringing out and building up of
promising riding material, since the
6-pound bug" allowance will be
granted to apprentices until they have
ridden 40 winners.
Many Of the famous races. includ-
Ing New York's classic handicaps for
older horses, have been increased
heavily in value. This is one of the
factors making 1t worth while for
trainers to preserve their horses against
the temptation OF running them by
overcompetition when they are q
year-olds
Chief among the increased stakes
Is the Preakness. which has been made
futurity event and will have a value
OF close to $4,000 this year. The
classic Suburban at Belmont Park has
been boosted to $4,000 and the other
handicaps, correspondingly.
A determined effort is being made
TO accentuate distance races. The
public likes the longer races in prefer
ence to watching the mad scramble
on the straightaways and the sprints
around turns.
1t Is in the quantity and quality of
the thoroughbred that our greatest
promise will be found We have al
ready established two idols-and racing
needs idols. They are War Admiral and
seabiscuit, the standouts Of 1887.
which We hope will match strides

MUDDY TRACK
 GIVES FLYING
 SCOT A CHANCE
War Admiral II to 10 Choice-MenOw May
 Cause Surprise
BY ROBERT WEBB
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Boston, June 29-(UP)-The field for the Massachusetts Handicap, featuring the first meeting between War Admiral and Seabiscuit, today was reduced to seven entries as three long-shots were scratched.
 The scratches were Singers Folly, Old Comrade and Finance.
 The weather was cloudy and the track was muddy.
 War Admiral, champion three year-old of 1887, was an early fa- vorite at odds of 11-10. Seabiscuit handicap champion last year, was quoted at 3-1.
 Three days of steady rain left the track in bad condition for the $50,000 added mile and an eighth race.
 Although c. s. Howard, owner Of Seabiscuit, will in all probability run his horse for the big purse which he won year ago it was almost a forgone conclusion that the west coast racer would not be at his best.
 Seabiscuit needs a fast track to bring out the speed that made him the greatest horse in the handicap division last year. Mud destroys his action. He tries hard to run, but just can't seem to get going unless he feels firm footing.
 So it was War Admiral against the field, with Seabiscuit merely a strong second choice.
 The Admiral, unbeaten since his two-year-old year, must cope with several undermining lightweights. His trainer, George Conway, says he can do 1t.
 Many of the turf critics think War Admiral, breaking from the extreme outside, will go to the front and stay there, repulsing the chal- lenge of first one horse and then another at various stages.
 Forgetting Seabiscuit, those who searched for the horse to beat the Admiral could not decide between Hal Price Headley's Menow, who ran fast enough in the Belmont futurity last year to set a new worlds record for six and one-half furlongs, or the mud-loving flying Scot, pitched into the race with a 1O1-pound feather.
 The mile and one-eighth distance may be too far for Menow although his brilliant victory in the Withers mile indicated that he can main- tain his speed an additional fur long through the mud.
 Flying Scot, quoted at 12-1, may go to the post no better than 6-1. An excellent off-track performer, he worked a 1:40 2-5 mile on sloppy track Monday in such fine style that observers question whether War Admiral can spot him 29 pounds.
 Mrs. Emil Denemark, whose stable has won most of the minor handi- caps during this meeting, sends out War Minstrel. The horse may be as good as 10-1. The question mark of the race is Peli- groso II, South American impor- tation, in at 103, four pounds lighter than Busy K.
 The track gates open at 10:30 and half an hour later pari-mutuel win dows begin business. Suffolk Downs officials anticipate a crowd of 5O,OO0 and 8 mutuel handle of $800,OO0.
