Last year trainer Carter : had his banner season when the C. and D. i Stable of Senors Carillo and Diaz, which he j handled, proved to be one of the biggest money winners of the meeting and this success was in a large measure due to his expert handling of the stable.

I The fifteen horses under trainer Garths care comprise the four-year-olds General j Menocal, Aiken and Sun Turret ; the eight- year-old Riverside ; the two-year-olds Moon- et. Way and Vaneno, and eight yearlings, I six of which were foaled in Cuba, and the l other two bred in the United States and purchased by trainer Carter at the Saratoga August sales.
