I I DISPLAY RUNS MILE IN 1:45 I Salmon Star Works Out Impressively at Belmont Park. , _ « — — Busiest I ay of Spring: Training — Chance May Coes Three-Quarters in 1:17% — tireentree Horses Arriic. NEW YORK. N. Y., April 11.— Display, stout son of Fair Play— Cicuta. which trainer i T. J. Healey is pointing for the renewal of 1 1 the Dixie Stakes at Pimlieo. turned in a , | slashing workout oer the main track at Belmont Park this morning. With his weight I I up and jockey J. Maiben in the saddle, Dis- ! | play was timed one mile in 1 :45. He was , well in hand at the end and could have ne- I | gotiated the distance several second faster had Maiben urged his mount along. Trainer Healey was more than satisfied with the work." The big son of Fair Play was timed the first quarter in :24i and the half-mile in rlO?-;. The first three-quarters was negotiated in 1 :16"5 and the seven-eighths in 1:29%. At this stage Maiben took a firmer hold of his mount and through the final eighth he was well in hand. The work was the best of the morning trials at Belmont Park. Despite the overcast sky and a track wThich was pronounced slow, but good in spots, the effort of Display stood out over the other trials. Teheran was another from the W. J. Salmon stable which showed an impressive trial. This fellow went handily for the mile journey and was timed in 1 rlG2;. Sun Edwin, the high priced colt of the Arden Farms, which will not be seen under colors until the Belmont Park meeting, is going along steadily in his training. He was galloped three-quarters in 1 :17% and was under restraint all the way. Trainer Smith is pointing this felow for the Withers and other important stakes, which come after the running of the famous old mile race. Sun Edwin looks well and appears to be close to racing condition. Chance Play, five-year-old handicap star from the same stable, was another that showed a good three-quarters gallop. He was timed in 1 :17=i;. Today was without doubt the busiest day noted at Belmont Park this spring. The main track was crowded at all times during the work hours and a general speeding up was noted. Road Agent and Kingsport, which John Loftus has in training, went well together, while Sarmaticus. which George Odom is pointing for the Paumonok Handicap, went handily, but alone. Ten horses, the property of the Greentree Stable, which comprised the division that Clyde Phillips raced at New Orleans, arrived from Bowie and were turned over to trainer T. W. Murphy.
