The
SPORTLIGHT
Great Boom Predicted
For Belmont Track
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent Of The Star.

NEW YORK, May 13 (N.A.N.A).
The preliminary test of mutuel
betting in New York ended when
the gates of the Jamaica track
closed last Saturday. The main test
starts with the opening of the gates
of Belmont Park today. Here the
figures compiled at Jamaica, star
tling as they were, will be surpassed,
and for the first time an accurate
line may be had on the future of
mutuel betting in this State.
was talking the other day to two
men who have come down the years
with racing in New York. I asked
them what they expected to see at
Belmont in the light of what they
had seen at Jamaica.
''The attendance will show an in
crease OF about so per cent" one
of them said, land the handle about
the same. That will mean a daily
average attendance of about $4,000
and handle of $800,000 On Sat-
urdays and holidays there will be
about 10000 there and the handle
will run to 81 900 ,000-maybe a little
more"
The other shook his head.
II don't know" he said. II hesi-
tate to give you my figures. I'm
afraid you will think I've gone a
trifle daffy. Actually I don't know
quite what to expect. But I believe
that this meeting will shatter all
records for attendances and handles
on daily average basis, mean
They may not have 10000 any day,
as they are supposed to have had
at Churchill Downs for the Ken
lucky Derby this year, but there will
be days when they will blast that
Louisville record of more than
$4,000 for a days handle. Don't
be surprised to see a daily average
of close to $1,000, ,00O-and at least
one day on which the tote will show

BY ROBERT HENRY.

Although his thoroughbred mare
Metope is a double champion, George
r. Walker is doubtful that she will
earn anything more than stray
minor ribbon or two at the WASH
ington Horse Show to be held Fri
day. Saturday and Sunday at
Meadowbrook.
Entered in. the new Columbus
Horse and Pony Show at Marian
Curran's Indian Spring Valley Farm
near Silver Spring. Md, yesterday,
Metope, ably handled by 17-year-
old Elaine Mcdowell. surprised by
taking both the Junior and grand
championships. In winning blue
ribbons In the junior hunters, work
ing hunters and handicap hunters
Metope emerged with . bang from
the non winners, having failed to
win in her only two previous shows,
both at Fort Myer last winter.
Conquers Mediocre Field.
The fact that Metope won grand
championship honors speaks poorly
for the other contestants because
Walker insists his 7-year -old mare
Is no show performer.
Walker purchased Metope four
years ago from Arthur I. Meighs at
Unionville, Pa, who breeds thor
oughbreds with the sole idea of run
ming them in the Maryland Hunt
Cup, but because he was overstocked
when Walker, q wartime friend,
dropped by one day, ne sold the
daughter Of Rathbeale for a rather
low sum.
Since then Metope has afforded
Walker many happy hours in the
hunting field, being . safe and dur
able mount. Besides her ability to
follow hounds Metope has displayed
aptitude for point-to-point racing
and hunter trial work. Last winter
she was running q strong second to
Margaret Sanderson's Poussin in the
Dunboyne Challenge Cup at the
Potomac Hunt point" meet when
she stepped in a small ditch and
fell, leaving Walker with q broken
ankle which prevented him from
showing yesterday. Shortly after
that Metope, with Miss Mcdowell
up, beat Poussin in the junior plate
at the Potomac hunter trials Just
before Poussin retired the Riding
and Hunt Club Trophy.
The mare has been entered in sew
eral working hunter classes at the
Washington show and while her
owner expects her to perform
smoothly he is not counting on any
blues. Miss Mcdowell, will ride
Metope as well as her own entries.
Reserve to Metope in the junior
championship was Donald Bradley's
handsome nlly, Best Time, . 4-year-
old daughter Of Grand Time. Dom
ME once had visions Of Best Time
winning races but that idea didn't
work out and now he believes she
Is an exceptional show prospect.
The fact that Best Time Is royalty
bred and unusually mannerly had
the judges, w. Lodge Bowles Of
Bavce, Va, and Courtney Jennifer
OF Baltimore, watching her carefully
all day. The chestnut won the
bride path hacks with Mrs. Brad
