Troxler is the same alert jockey at he barrier Ihat he always was and he seems to get better in this respect with age. B une Uespess stable makes its debut for 1017 at Douglas Park and the Covington turfman has some high -class horses this year. He has an especially formidable band of two year olds and, if their morning trials can be taken as a criterion, they are endowed with plenty of speed. Bespess baa patched up P.radleys Choice, one of the best horses that ever sported the silks of B. H. Brad j ley, after he was considered a hopeless cripple ] and, as evidence that he intends to make him use- j fill as well as ornamental, is shown by the fact that right off the reel he put him in a claiming race. | A. P. Steele, who formerly raced a useful stable of horses, is taking in the races here. He has no horses running for him now, having been out of this end of the sport for a year or more. His i stable always was a successful one and he also has proved a successful operator from the ground here. The combination pari niutuel machines are in use at Douglas Park and they also will be used at Latonia. This form of wagering has always proven popular with the bettors in this section and Churchill Downs is the only track that does not use them.
