JUAREZ FORMIDABLE ARRAY OF FIFTY STAKES El Paso Tex October 8 What the Saratoga meeting was to the eastern summer racing campaign in 1910 the Jockey Club Juarez Mexico meeting will be to winter racing this season Tlie opening date Is Thanksgiving Day November 24 During 100 days of racing at this plant 300000 will be hung up In stakes and purses pursesLast Last season winter racing was inaugurated at Juarez with a program of twelve stakes Now these events have been increased to fifty which means that there will to a big feature race every other day Tills Is also a larger number of stakes than has ever before been offered by any racing associa ¬ tion for a single meeting The total stakes now open for entries at Juarez actually number fiftytwo but two of these embrace the Juarez Dcrby of

days being eliminated The stake days will be Thursdays Saturdays and Sundays though the program on the off days will be made attractive by specially conditioned races and handicaps to bring together the best horses racing there thereWhen When tlie Jockey Club Juarez was granted racing concessions by the Mexican government horsemen viewed witb some misgivings the opening of racing on the Mexican 1 order This was due to the ill fortune which befell tlie Pate venture years ago in the Mexican republic They did not reckon thai many changes would take place in the Interim The thoroughbred has gained a firm footing there and with the Importation of the l est racers which con ¬ stantly contributes to the development of fine horses in Mexico the wealthy natives and foremost men of the republic have been quick to note the incom ¬ parable advantage following the popularizing of the thoroughbred sjxjrt in their country Tlie Mexicans had observed the success which had crowned the persistent efforts just across in Texas of such train ¬ ers as J W Fuller H T Batcheler and others Tlie Mexicans conceived the idea based upon the natural resources of their country that they too could develop fleet racers just as good as those bred in Kentucky and1 tills thoy are doing with every indication that the passing of time will demonstrate that they will accomplish on a large scale what they have set about systematically to do And the Jockey Club Juarez it manager Col M J WInn says will always offer its aid ami encouragement to this end Tlie coming meeting offers to American turf ieii sport of a high class The fields will be made up of the crack horses now performing In this country and the Juvenile racers to make their debut there in 1911 will represent the pick of the breeding farms of the
