ENTRY OF MASTER CHARLIE W. Daniels Crack Colt Nominated for Newly Created 5,000 New Orleans Handicap. NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 15. Master Charlie, winner of the Hopeful Stakes, the Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes and other features this year, was the first nomination for the 5,000 New Orleans Handicap, to be received at the New Orleans Business Mens Racing Association. Although Master Charlie has been temporarily thrown out of training as a result of lameness, caused by splints on both forelegs at the knee, trainer Andy Blakely feels confident that his potentional candidate will be fit and ready to run in the new 5,000 stake at one mile and a sixteenth, to be run at the Fair Grounds on Saturday, February 7, 1925. Plans for shipping Master Charlie from Pimlico, ltd., to New Orleans have been completed and, according to present schedule, will arrive here next week. Trainer Blakely believes that Master Charlie will be rested up sufficiently and get out of the present lameness when the bugle sounds for the New Orleans Handicap. The jockey colony in New Orleans will be headed by Ivan Parke, Americas leading rider, who topped the winning list of riders in 1923 and has a big lead for the same honors this year. Parke is visiting his parents in Idaho and will be in New Orleans for the opening of the racing season, Thanksgiving Day. He will ride for Mcsc Goldblatt, who has a division of Hairy Payne Whitneys horses. Parke will also pilot thoroughbreds of the Greentree Stable, owned by Mrs. Payne Whitney of New York. Both of these extensive stables have arrived at the Fair Grounds. E. R. Bradley, prominent Kentucky breeder and horse owner, announced that his stable of thoroughbreds, to be campaigned through the winter racing season, will arrive at the Fair Grounds before Thanksgiving Day. The string will include Blue Warbler and other noted horses from the Idle Hour Stock Farm. Construction of the new modernly equipped barns for Mrs. Payne Whitney and Sam N. Holman of Ohio, have been started and will be completed before the opening of the Fair Grounds meeting, January 1.
