• j j f ■ 1 * ■ NEW YORK TRACKS, AS A WHOLE, PRODUCE LESS FOR OWNERS THAN IN 1914 Still, the Total Distributed Is More Than a Half Million Dollars, with Belmont Park the Most Productive Point * * It will probably surprise these interested in the affairs of the turf to be informed that the New York racing field yielded 1,690 less this year than it did in 1914. yet such is the case. This decline was mainly at Saratoga, where the money raced for was .1,245 less than in the previous year. In fact there was some decline iu this way in the cases of all the principal tracks, but this was in part made up by the lcsumption of racing at Jamaica, with the resultant distribution of 4,025 by the Metropolitan Jockey flub. The removal of the Futurity from Saratoga to Belmont Park was a considerable factor in the loss at the former track, but did not prevent the Belmont Park total from falling off slightly, as compared with 1914. However, the New York tracks produced a generous aggregate, without which American owners would have been in a sorry plight. Having reached bedrock, steady improvement in amount of money cfiered is now to be conhdeutly anticipated for the near-by years of the future. In total of money distributed the Westchester Racing Association is the leader this year, with Sara-ioga second, reversing the positions of 1914. In daily average of distribution Piping Rock led, as was the case in 1913 and 1914. It is only truth to say that the amateur meetings at Piping Rock exerted a powerful influence in conducing to the resumption and prosperity of racing iu the state of New York. The statistics of 1915 and their comparison with the years since 1910 are here compactly presented: oi -= c-° a# e-S. ~ mS as p? =£~a s=- |s M S3 *~ *| R» Is e s c»"o Track and Meeting. :" * " 11 55 B? b« and, « £, o = • Si • B *Z 5" W ■ 2 2 ~5" m oi • a - • • : • ; •....** Saratoga 24 145 1U 224 31,445 «1 29 54 2f 13 .42 Ielmont Park Spring Meeting 18 10S 72 D S 82,740 57 M 25 2S 12 .KJ iMmont Park Autumn Meeting 12 72 M 149 81.200 M 14 22 15 11 .50 Aiiucduct 15 92 !K". 17S 72.405 49 IS 25 2« 9 .53 Empire fitv «...

P. Whitney, whose horses raced in the name of I.. S. Thompson because of the death of his relative. Alfred Vauderbilt, was a decided leader among the winning owners, his two splendid two-year-olds. Dominant and Thunderer, contributing considerably more than half of the 0,716 won by the stable on New York tracks. The Whitney stable was a powerful racing organization in all respects and is probably destined to as great prominence in the racing of 1916. August Belmont finished second and, considering that his Rock Sand two-year-olds hardly realized expectations, reaped a goodly measure of success. His total of 0,265 on the New York tracks this year was considerably more than his horses won on all tracks in the course of the preceding vear. R. T. Wilson ranks third among the winning owners and has good reason to view his stable returns with contentment. The owners who won 00 or m»re were the following: Owner. 1st. 2d. 3d. Amt. Thompson. I..
