% » ■ 1 I j ; : i 1 , 1 SEAGRAM STABLES RIDER Jockey T. Wilson Signed to Pilot Horses of Popular Canadian Establishment. TORONTO. Ont.. April 7.— Jockey T. Wilson, now riding n_t Tijuana, will be the Seagram Stables leading jockey during the campaign of the Waterloo horses on the Canadian circuit this year. He was engaged this week. It was erroneously announced some time ago that IOddie Ambrose, who rode for the Seagram brothers in 1922, would again be the stable rider, but no effort was made to retain the veteran. Ambrose, who is now at Bowie, will ride as a free lance this year. The Seagram horses will be brought to the Woodbine from Waterloo the first week in May. and it is expected that Flowerful will he the stables chief reliance in the Kings Plate. Reports from Waterloo, however, are not very encoui aging and a Seagram victory in the Canadian turf classic is not being anticipated. Owing to the backward spring none of the Waterloo horses have yet been able to get out on the track at the Seagram farm and they will not be very far advanced when they arrive at the Woodbine unless warm and dry weather sets in at once. But at that they will not be any worse off than any of the other candidates. The Brookdale Stables Vespra is at present the favorite to win the Kings Plate, but Mrs. Livingston holds a strong hand in Am- ber Fly, My Solace and Mother Bunch, all by Lovetie. which raced with considerable success several years ago.
