BUSY SCENES AT HAWTHORNE • Horses Arriving From All Points for Meeting Beginning July 30. ♦ Eleven of C. V. Whitney String Among First to Arrive — Stable Reservations Piling Up. Hawthorne presented a busy scene Friday as thoroughbreds began to pour in from Kentucky and other western racing sectors to continue their training for the thirty-day meeting with which the Cicero oval will carry on the Chicago racing program after July 30. Important among the arrivals was a string of eleven horses that will sport the eton blue and brown silks of C. V. Whitney Trainer Mose Goldblatt, in charge of the western division of the powerful Whitney stable, sent the eleven on from Latonia, where they were campaigned at the meeting which ended ten days ago. They will be joined later by such others of the Whitney western division as are in racing condition The probability is that more than thirty of of the Whitney racers will be seen under colors at Hawthorne. Hawthorne will have plenty of competition during its thirty-day term of racing for Saratoga, Detroit and the new Rhode Island course at Narragansett have conflicting dates. Because major meetings of this sort naturally try to attract horses of the better grade, Hawthorne officials were anxious several weeks ago about the class of thoroughbreds that would be raced in Chicago. The stable reservations that have been piling up, however, indicate that there will be no lack of horses of class at Hawthorne. All of the Chicago owners of prominence evidently plan to race their charges at Hawthorne, and so popular has the owning of racing stables become with Chicagoans that there are almost enough Chicago-owned thoroughbreds now in training to run a fair-sized meeting. Many other better stables now racing at Arlington will likewise move over to Hawthorne as soon as the meeting at the north side course has ended. T. C. Worden will send one of the largest strings to Hawthorne — he has twenty-one horses ready to race. The Southland Stable has sixteen; Wood F. Axton, fourteen; Val Crane, fourteen; the Continued on nineteenth page. BUSY SCENES AT HAWTHORNE Continued from first pige. Milky Way Farms Stable, thirteen; William Sachsenmaier, twelve, and Stuyvesant Pea-body, ten, to name a few. In other seasons the three-year-old championship has usually been settled by the time the Hawthorne meeting arrives, and in consequence Hawthornes stake program has always consisted largely of handicaps that furnished large purses to the older horses of the handicap division. No one can deny that the Brookmeade Stables Cavalcade has won so many races as to make the running of further three-year-old specials entirely unnecessary this year. Because there is little point in shipping good three-year-olds back East to race against Cavalcade there will be an unusually large number of three-year-olds of class racing against the best of the older horses at Hawthorne. William Sachsenmaier probably holds the strongest hand as far as three-year-olds are concerned. The New Jersey owner has a ranking three-year-old in his barn in the Texas Derby winner, Plight, and another of quality in Indian Salute. J. W. Parrish of Kentucky is not far behind him, however, for he has the good New Deal ready to carry his silks. New Deal has been one of the most consistent of horses since he first came into prominence a year ago by winning the Curren Memorial at Washington Park.
