j -b AMERICAN RACING STATISTICS FOR THE YEAR 1913 Slowly, but surely, American racing is recovering from the depression into which it was plunged a few yars ago by the passage of repressionary legislation in various sections of the United States. The financial .showing for 1912 represented a slight improvement over 1911, in which year the turf was at its low ebb in this country, and the ligures for 1913 afford further comfort for the devotees of thoroughbred racing. The gain made during the year just ended was of, such substantial proportions that so far as the total of distribution is concerned the sport is back where it stood in 1910 the year in which New York racing was suspended in consequence of hostile legislation. The distribution in 191.1 in stakes and purses by the recognized tracks of North America amounted to ,920,!03, which represents an increase of 29,33S in comparison with 1912. An interesting exposition of this phase of racing, covering the years from 1903 to 1913. is herewith given: ltaciug No. of Racing No. of Year. Distribution. Days. Races. Year. Distribution. Days.

New Yoik racing has always been regarded as the backbone of the American racing fabric, not only because of the richness of Its stake and purse values, but on account of the tone of the racing itself and the high standing of those who have stood sponsor for it. So it is quite natural that the restoration of the sport on the New York tracks, even though oil a comparatively modest scale as compared with the d: ys of its allluence in the Empire state, should furnish cause for widespread rejoicing among racing folk throughout the country. Including the amateur meetings at Piping Rock, Belmont Park Terminal and other points where the hunt e"ub set held forth, there were seventy-live days of racing in New York, as compared with thirteen days during the preceding year, confined exclusively to the amateurs. The major portion of these seventy-live days was devoted to racing at Belmont Park and Saratoga, which were the only big tracks to be reopened. A beginning in a racing way was also made at Syracuse in connection with the Ni w York State Fair and it is planned to expand in this direction during the coming season, with the idea of making racing an important attraction in connection with the fair each year. The Jockey Club is lending its sympathy and active co-operation in the furtherance of this plan with the idea that the popularizing of lacing in up-state localities will materially aid the efforts that are being made to re-establish the thoroughbred sport 011 a sound and solid basis in New York state. Other important events of the year included the opening of new tracks at Ottawa. Out., and Montreal. Jue. The Comianght Park Jockey Club held two remarkably successful meetings at the former place and i?ds fair to take high rank with the racing organizations of Canada. The Dorval Park Jockey Club, as the aew organization at Montreal is styled, held only one meeting, 011 account of the late date at which its track was completed, hut has ambitious plans for the coming year, including the running of a 0,000 Derby, lor which most of the best three-year-olds in North America have already been entered. Prosperity attended the racing of the year, almost universally. The Kentucky and Canadian meetings .ere particularly prosperous. It was expected that a deficit would attend the attempt to revive racing on f!ie New York tracks, but it is understood that such was not the case. Maryland racing was even more successfully conducted than during the previous year, when the Maryland tracks had enjoyed their banner season. The winter meeting at Juarez was by far the most satisfactory of any held since the opening of that course in 1909. The meeting which was held at Charleston in the early part of 1913 was fairly successful, but by 110 means so much so as the one which opened in Deeemlicr and is to continue through January .-nd Fcburary of 1151-4. In the far west adverse legislation .prevented racing at Lagoon, near Salt Lake it.y. but seviral new racing points were developed in Montana, which partially made up for the .deficiency. Favorable legslatir.n having boon enacted in Colorado, it is expected that Denver w.i,1 play an important part in Inter-Mountain circuit racing the coming stascn, with the -sport under the control of a state racing commission, recent y appoint fJ liy Governor Amnions. The Jockey Club Juarez stands lirst in the Item of total distribution., with the Latonia Jockey Club a close second. tl Charleston Fair and Racing Association third and the British Columbia Thoroughbred Association fourth. From the sectional standpoint, the tracks of Keasioin Canada contributed most liberally to the seasons Mai. as during the preceding year. In 1912 the tracks of Eastern Canada exceeded 00,000 for the first time and in 1913 their distribution approximated 1914.sh00,000 closely. Canadian racing is constantly expanding and is in a highly nourishing condition, in spite of the limitations placed upon it by the Miller law not long ato. Kentiickv is a close second to Canada in total distribution, its contribution running well over the 00,000 mark. The percentage of winning favorites for the racing of 191:: was .41. as compared with .41 in 1912. .-10 i.i 1911, .42 in 1910. .41 in 1909 and .10 in 190S.

The progress made by the Piping Rock Association is little short of marvelous. Organized in 1911. its distribution for that year amounted to ,000 daily. In 1912 its daily average jumped up to ,403. In 1913 it more than doubled as compared with 1912 and reached the truly magnificent figure of 1,707. This is a showing of which its management should feel exceedingly proud. The Ontario Jockey Club stands second witli a higher daily average than ever before in its historv. It was the leader in this respect during the two preceding years and remains far ahead of all other organizations, with the single exception noted above. Next in order follow the Westchester Racing Association, the Saratoga Association, the Douglas Park Jockey Club, the New Louisville Jockey Club, the Latonia Jockey Club and the Hamilton Jockey Clnb, all with averages in excess of ,000.

It is the first time that suck a distinction has been his since lie took over the thoroughbred interests of his illustrious father, who did so much for racing in this country in the years immediately preceding his death. The younger Mr. Whitney stood second to James R. Keene in the winning owners list of 1907, in which season lie won much more than the amount which gave him first place during the year just ended. Mr. Whitneys total for the year is slightly less than the sum that enabled John W. Schorr to figure as the leading owner of 1912. Next in order come the stables of J. L. Holland, R. T. Wilson, H. G.

It has happened in recent years that a contest for first place among the jockeys has been spirited and 1913 was no exception. Various riders held the lead at different times during the year, but it finally simmered down to a question as between Buxton and C. P.uringanie. The latter was trie victim of an accident that incapacitated him for riding about the middle of December, when he was leading Buxton by a slender margin. Coincidcntally, Buxton showed good form during the closing weeks of the year and so has a substantial lead. The record of the thirty leading jockeys of 1913 is made up as follows: Jockey.
