In fact, all owners of three-[ year-olds that seem to have a chance at the 0,000 added event are attempting to have their eligibles ready for the big day at Arlington. Again the Classic may be the deciding race for three-year-old championship honors. The Classic, undoubtedly, was the deciding race in 1929, the first running of the fixture, when Blue Larkspur scored over Clyde Van Dusen, winner of the Kentucky Derby; Dr. Preeland, winner of the Preakness; Windy City, American Derby winner; and Grey Coat, his own conqueror in the Dwyer Stakes. Surely Blue Larkspurs victory in that race established his claim to the championship. Last year the second running of the Classic went to Gallant Pox. He had swept everything else before him and the Classic merely clinched his claim to championship honors. Purse distribution during Arlington Parks thirty-day meeting will total around 50,000, with more than 00,000 of this in added money. There has been a slight increase over last year in Arlingtons program of purse distribution. This is done by Arlington to insure the patronage of the strongest racing stables, both east and west. No stake value at Arlington shall be under ,000 and the minimum purse for overnight affairs will be ,500. Arlington is working toward a program calling for a stake a day and that program may be realized next year. ,
