in it today It is a real test for threeyearolds at one mile and threeeighths a distance that calls for courage and stamina as well as speed The regret is that such contests are not more generously patronized not only for the delight of the racegoing public but for the best interests of our thoroughbred breeding industry While todays Held is small the prospective contestants are well matched and a race worthy of the best traditions of the Belmont Stakes should re ¬ sult The starters are Leonardo II Grey Lag Sporting Blood and Quecreck QuecreckThe The Bflmont Stakes is onu of the oldest and foremost of American stake races for threeyearolds Established in 1867 the Belmont will be run for the fiftythird time today Prior to 1890 it was run at Jerome Park then at Morris Park to 1905 and
