With the close of this meeting the ten head T. L. Pierce is training will be transferred to Latonia, where they will be prepped for the summer meeting at that track. Thundertone, excused from the fifth race Thursday, on report of the track veterinarian that he appeared to have a slight touch of colic, was normal Friday morning, according to C. H. Knebelkamp. The good filly Jessie Dear, which picked up a nail a week ago, breezed a mile in 1:43 Friday morning. Unfortunately, the damage done by the nail interrupted her training just enough to squeeze her out of the Kentucky Oaks, but she promises to be ready for the Illinois Oaks at Washington Park a week from Saturday. Jessie Dear and five others will be shipped to Washington Park by F. C. McAtee Monday. Volwood was reported none the worse for having indulged in a short runaway after breaking out of his stall Thursday and he is named for one of the closing day races. A number of the George Collins horses have been shipped to Collins Thistleton Farm, where they will be "freshened up" for the Latonia meeting. On advices from Riverside Park track officials, Walter S. Carr instructed a number of horsemen to delay shipping their horses to that track until Tuesday of next week.
