WESTY H0GAN NOW WORKING SOUNDLY Omar Khayyams StaMemate Has Recovered from Foot Trouble That Retarded Eis Training. New York, May 23.— Westy llogau. whose early training was retarded liecause of a soreness developed in works, is cut again and, according to reports, going along soundly. Richard F. Carman, his trainer until recently, when Sandy MeNaugh ton took over the Viau horses, was of the opinion that the trouble was due to sore muscles, but Me-Xaugliton. after trying all sorts of remedies, finally diagnosed the case as one of foot trouble. This diagnosis proved the correct one, and Westy Hogau has responded so rapidly to treatment that he is now doing regular track work. Both Westy Hogan and Omar Khayyam will probably be seen under colors during the latter part of the Belmont Iark meeting. While Omar Khayyam is not near his best form. Mc-Naughton is confident he will have him in good condition in a short time. Recent reports of the illness of Senator Ollie James were somewhat exaggerated, according to his most intimate friends here. While he has been under the weather, he has not been confined to his room and keeps in touch with his racing friends and happenings on the turf at all times. A new contender for three-year-old honors has loomed into prominence in Motor Cop. A. K. Ma-coiuIkts son of Inch — Xarco. The colt showed t;p well in the Stuyvesant Handicap, and nothing was ever dangerous to him during the race. Walter Jennings. Motor Cops trainer, declared before the race that the horse that beat him would have to step lively. Flags also proved himself a good sprinter, and he is improving with every race. Judging, however, from their meeting yesterday, he will never beat Motor Cop, both at their best. John Sanford introduced a rather smart colt by Ogden— ttnaga in lte. He lieat horses that had lieen highly tried, including a colt of Harry Payne Whitneys. Loyal Peter, and Joseph E. Wideners Belario, both of which had strong stable support, lte is not the best ill the stable of Sir. San ton I. hence it is believed the youngsters bearing the Sanford colors will be piouiiueut iu this years racing.
