The first shipment of horses for Exposition Park, where the 1932 Illinois race season will open May 2, is due from the South tomorrow. It will contain animals belonging to E. E. Major, J. J. McCoole and C. Baldwin and will number sixteen head. Half of them are owned by Major and in his strinf are such good ones as Bill Orange and Bright Knot. A band of Val Cranes yearlings and two-year-olds are now quartered at the track. Training activities are at a standstill because of the heavy snowstorm. The stall committee today issued a warning to owners not to ship to Aurora unless their stable application has been approved. Several carloads of such horses were reported ready to leave the South tomorrow, but a warning from the committee stopped the shipment. The committee announced today that it had approved the application of Tony Pelle-teri, New Orleans sportsman, and that he would campaign fourteen at the Fox Valley meeting. Pelleteri is the man who developed the sensational two-year-old Proteus last year and then sold him to A. C. Bostwick for a big sum. With this money Tony went into racing in a big way. Pelleteri has the following for the Aurora meeting: Colonial Belle, Curmudgeon, Fiddler, Romany Baw, Gay World, Sunny Side Up, Tiverton, Marlene, Loyal Louie, Wing-over, La Compere, Colonial Mc, Sergeant Frank and Dear Nanette.
