NEW ORLEANS RACING 1 Total of 16,012 Distributed During 93 Days of the Sport. Mrs. R. M. Hoots, Through Prowess of Black Gold, Biggest Winner at Jefferson. With the decision of the Louisiana Derby, the valuable feature of an attractive closing-day program at Jefferson Park Monday, the New Orleans racing season of 1923-1924 came to an end. The sport began as usual at Jefferson Park on Thanksgiving Day and continued there until December 31 inclusive. The Fair Grounds opened on January 1 and after fifty-four days of racing closed on March 4. The entire New Orleans season embraced ninety-three days of racing, during which time G02 races were decided and 1924.sh16,012 distributed among the horsemen, the division being as follows: Distri- Track.

Jefferson Park 28 ICS 31,541 Fair Grounds 54 378 407.910 Jefferson Park 11 66 76,561 Totals 93 602 16,012 The second meeting at Jefferson Park, which ended Monday, occupied the eleven days from March 5 to March 17, inclusive, and during the eleven days of racing sixty-six races were run and 6,561, an average of ,960, was distributed among the horsemen. Mrs. R. M. Hoots, of Oklahoma, was the big winner of the second meeting at Jefferson and her proud position at the head of the owners list is due to the prowess of Black Gold. Second and third places fell to J. McMillen and the Grcentree Stable respect- ively, with only a paltry sum separating them. The Idle Hour Stock Farm Stable, T. H. Bernhardt and S. N. Holman are among the other owners who figured prominently in the racing. Black Gold spent the entire winter at New Ci leans, but did not take part in any racing until March 6, but he made an impressive debut and immediately became favorite for the Louisiana Derby. In his second start, though he won, his performance was not mute up to expectations, and his Derby stock fell sharply. He, however, went to the post favorite in the big race, having a slight call over Thorndale. How Black Gold won the big race is known to all, and as a result of that impressive victory he will be given due consideration for the Golden Kentucky Derby. Black Golds three successes at Jefferson netted his owner 6,150, and places the black colt at the top of the money-winning burses of the meeting. . One of the outstanding features of all three meetings at New Orleans this winter has been the marvelous riding of Ivan Parke, the champion jockey of 1923. He topped the list from Thanksgiving Day to the end on . Monday. At the last Jefferson meeting he rode twelve winners, twice as many as to the credit of any other rider. The training honors fell to G. E. Phillips who saddled four winners, while C. Howard, J. McPherson. P. Reuter, H. "Webb and D. Womeldorff follow next in order with three each.
