The Sanford Memorial, with a guaranteed Value of 54,000, is carded for Wednesday and all the stars of the two-year-old division are among tlie 170 named for this feature. Thursday the Catskill for three-year-olds, at seven-eighths, with selling conditions, will be the stake offering. Only overnight races are prvoided for Fridays; racing. No better program could have been arranged for Saturdays racing with the Bevcrwyck Handicap, for the steeplechasers, .the Spinaway for two-year-olds aiid tin? Travers for three-year-olds. The Spinaway is for fillies and has a guaranteed value of ,000, while the Travers is at a mile and a quarter and has ,000 guaranteed. It is uxpeeted that Omar Khayyam and Hourless will meet in the Travers and if the Saratoga track is fast that day, the Belmont colt will have a host of backers supremely confident that he will lower the colors of this years Kentucky Derby winner. However, Omar Khayyam will probably rule favorite and there are many who. think that he will be able to repeat his former Victory over Hourless, irrespective of track conditions.
