FEW NEW YORK HORSES FOR MARYLAND. Names of Two-Year-Olds of the Belmont and Cochran Stables This Year. By Ed Cole. New York. March 23. It is doubtful if many, if ■ay, of the horses tli.it have wintered oa Leaf Island will race aa the Maryland tracks this spring. None of these :it Belmont Park w ill go to Bowie, not one of them having done anything but shed work this rear so far. A canvass of all the trainers at Belmont Park shows th.it the horses are nt least one month 1m hind in their preliminary preparations for the season of IMC. According to the records of Mr. Pels. «rha has charge of Belmont Park, the horses were doing track work in 1915 on February 22. It may be that a few will be ready for racing at Pimlico. bat there will be none it Howie anil it is doubtful if Havre de Grace will see any of the Belmont Park contingent. All told. 127 horses have wintered at the Westchester Racing Associations track and so well have they thrived, notwithstanding the hard winter, that there is no question about Belmont Park becoming one of the most desirable wintering places of the future Since the ehMK of last year Mr PL has had the track scraped and he predicts that it will be the best course in America. "The prospects for tin-coming season," said he. "eaa ha lathered from the facts that requisition-- have attend] been made for more stalls than are available within tin- enclosure anil it is not at all improbable we shall have 1 0 turn the row of aeroplane hangars into stables; in fact, we already have such a plan in contemplation. According t" measurements, cadi hangar will furnish eleven stalls. With the great number of horses we expect for the opening of the Belmont Park meeting the stables at Ai|in ilui t and Jamaica Will have to be utilized. "As soon as the weather breaks it will not take lone to get the training track ready for the horse- and 1 suppose there will be a baatj time around lien- S along owners and trainers preparing their i hants There is little question that many of the horses will In- late in Retting ready. The condition of affairs at Belmont Park may be best described as a case of watchfal araiting for the sun to shine and the snow to disappear." Mr. August Belmont has wintered twenty-six horses at Belmont Park in charge of Sam Hildreth. thirteen of which are two-year-olds, as follows: Alniandite. ch. o. by Hastings — Annot Lvle. Cockleshell, ch. f. by Trap Rock Crosswavs. De, kmate. b. or br. c by Hastings Dragnet. Deer Tra|i. b. c by Trap Rock Delusion. DistafT. blk. c. by Dtegntee— Typical.

Rorkport. oh. c by Trap Rock Retained II. Sandusky, b. c. by Hastings Sans Cone. Serenest. b. or br. 1". by Trap Rock Soineraine. Woodtrap. ch. c by Trap stack Woodvine. Tl Ida* contingent includes Top Hat and Mission, two horses that will carry the Belmont colors in steeplechases; Kern Rock. Delaacey, Friar Rock. Malachite. Pea Caddy. Libyan Sands. Dragoman. Lord Rockvale. St. Rock. Sam M.-Meekin and the consistent performer Stromboli. which for two years has given tin? great little horse Roamer several stubborn ariruments. There is no question that the Belmont horses will not be seen under colors before the New York racing season commences. One of the largest stables that has wintered at Belmont is that of Mr. Cifford A. Cochran, with W. R. Midgley in charge. He has twenty -seven in the string, quite a number of them being imported. It is Mr. Cochrans intention to open the season either at Jamaica or Belmont Park and he will devote all of his attention to flat racing, baring nothing but two year olds and three-year-olds in his stable. Following is a list of the two-year-olds: Beaverkill. br. c by Ogden— Dolly Higgins. Burlesque, b. f. by Star Shoot Masquerade. Carnival, br. c. by Disguise Pretty Maiden. Daddy Loaglegs, br. c, by Ogdes — Chapala. Generis, eh. f. by Star Shoot — Origin. Fairy Wand. ch. f. by Star Shoot— Countess Wanda. .litney. ch. f. by Shar Shoot— Allopath. .lock Scot. br. c. by Ogdea — Frankie. Kebo. b. c, by Ogden — Cremorne. Leonie. b. f. by Star Shoot -Dorothy Gray, Madeira, ch. f. by Star Shoot- Golden Drop. Marie Odile. ch, f. by Star Shoot Colline. Mary Powell, b. f. by Star Shoot Flora Pomona. Phantom, ch. f. by Star Shoot Insi-cn. Philiipplr, b. e, by Cicero — Quair. Queen of the Water, br. f. by Waterbov — Planu tess. Sea Puss. eh. f. by Star Shoot — Ocean Tide. Triple Crown, br. f. by Star Shoot-Miss Kearney. Whirling Dunn. br. c. by Ogden — Deviltree. Contrary to the usual custom. Mr. Cochran has chosen many more fillies than colts in making his port bases. He has done this with the future in rtew, for Mr. Cochran will no doubt become one of the most extensive breeders in this country within a few years. Out of this extensive list of two-year-olds in the Cochran barn, but seven are colts. these being Daddy Leaglegs, Beaverhill. Phillippic. Jock Scot. Kebo. Carnival and Whirling Dunn. According to experts who have seen this good-looking string doing shed work the filly Madeira and the colt Kebo are two which give exceptional prosaist . "They sort of stand out a bit." said an old horseman, as the youngsters paraded around the stalls. "and 1 will be greatly mistaken if Madeira does not turn out to be a smart filly." The three-year-olds in the stable include Feminist. Air Man. Prince of mini. Royal Martyr and Hands Off. all of which figured prominently in the racing of last year. Mr. Cochran will begin the season with an exceptionally good stable and if the predictions of men in close touch with Belmont Park winter quarters proves correct, more than one stake will go to the credit of the Cochran stable.
