Reports have it that C. E. Boots Durnell will be among them. Durnell, licensed in Kentucky the past several years, is among those whose applications are held up pending further consideration. Nothing official is forthcoming with regard to Durnells case, yet track rumors anent it include one to the effect that the racing commission and its license committee are desirous of ascertaining Durnells status with The New York Jockey Club before acting upon his application.
