PROSPERITY IN MARYLAND RACING STATE, AS A FIELD OF RACING, MORE PRODUCTIVE 01 c . MONEY FOR OWNERS THAN KENTUCKY, AND ONLY EXCEEDED IN THAT FEATURE BY THE CANADIAN AND NEW YORK FIELDS It will probably surprise a good many people to learn that, as a field of racing. Maryland excelled Kentucky in money distributed among winning owners this year. Yet such is the fact. It is also a fact that of the four great racing Holds of North America Canada, New York, Maryland and Kentucky last place in that respect .falls to Kentucky. Decidedly, this is not as it should be. Of the four fields Canada leads with . 800.28.".: New York is second with Sl,"!8.40r.: Maryland third with ,374,0!. and Kentucky last with .Sl.:i04,!."!, the total for the four being the enormous sum of 1920.sh,340,748. However. Maryland had more racing days than Kentucky, an item in favor of the latter state. The Maryland Jockey Club led the Maryland racing organizations in both total and daily average dis- j tributioii and is now one of the most liberal and progressive jockey clubs of tiie Inited States. It lias I done great things for racing in recent years and promises still greater for the near-by future. The. two meetings of the Harford Agricultural and Ilreeders Association at Havre de Grace gave it precedence j over Laurel in total amount produced for owners, but the daily distribution at Laurel excelled that of Havre de I race. The people running the liowie track gave less than the controllers of the other three and probably made as much money as any of them. The new Maryland State ltacing Commission should j see to it that P.owie gives good stake races and otherwise elevates, its racing in the future. There is no reasonable excuse for tin; cheap plan of racing there. With the same number of racing days, Havre de ft race yielded over .83,000 per day more than P.owie and is less favorably located.

Itoss, Ual Parr and Edward 1!. McLean, wherefore it is in nowise surprising to find those owners thriving exceedingly in tlie Maryland campaign. Commander Koss did best of all in stable winnings witli the big total of 9,930. Then followed It. Parr with 1920.sh3 919, II. P. Whitney with 9,543 and E. li. McLean with 3,483. Four more owners won less than these big leaders "but move than 0,000. they being AV. J. Salmon with 9,345, Glen Kiddle Farm 9,S0O, Suiinyhmd Stable 22.505 and Samuel Koss 1,035. AVe are used to greatly advanced racing values in these days, yet it is worth recalling that it is only a few yea is back when smaller totals than were credited to the three leaders in Maryland alone this year sufficed to make Sam C. Hildrcth the leading winning owner of 1911. John AV. Schorr of 1912 and Harry Payne Whitney of 1913. Desides the leading winners named nineteen other owners won less than 0,000 and more than 810.000 in Maryland racing this year, these fortunate ones being J. K. Skinker. Gwyn It. Tompkins, L.
