Brooms and Petee-Wrack will have blinkers as part of their equipment when they go the post for the Preakness tomorrow. Trainer R. A. Smith has decided to try Strolling Player without blinkers tomorrow. The colt has been at the barrier without blinkers and broke well and worked fast, hence the change, with the hope that he will show something like the form he displayed England. Thomas B.
