Rain, fog and wind did not have a serious effect upon training operations at the different Long Island tracks this morning, and some interesting moves were noted. The track at Bel- mont Park was sloppy but trainers brought out their charges for exercise. A notable array of the stars of the turf passed in re- view during the morning. Cavalcade and Delphinium, from the Brookmeade Stable, Red Rain, and Today from the C. V. Whitney establishment, Marshall Fields Tinta-" gel, and M. L. Schwartz Bold Venture headed the lot, and while they were not called upon for strenuous exercise, they; looked in good condition. The Futurity winner, Tintagel, was galloped a mile and a half at a slow pace to straighten out the kinks in his system following his trip from Columbia, S. C. Cavalcade was also galloped one mile in company with a lead pony. Today, the C. V. Whitney star was galloped slowly, while Red Rain and Bold Venture were called upon for more vigorous exercise. Red Rain was breezed one mile in 1:50, and the three-year-old was well in hand all the way. C. V. and Mrs. Whitney braved the elements to watch this colt in his gallop, and in company with Tom Healey witnessed the move from the stewards stand. Red Rain covered the first quarter in :27, the half in :55, six furlongs in 1:21, and the full distance in 1:50. However, the best work turned in by the Whitney candidates was that furnished by Tatterdemalion and Piccolo. They flashed brilliant speed as follows: :49, 1:02K, 1:15, 1:28 and the mile in 1:42. Bold Venture, another that wintered in Columbia, S. C, under the watchful eye of Max Hirsch, was breezed one mile in 1:48. Over at Aqueduct the leading Wood Memorial, Derby and Preakness candidates stabled there moved along over the shorter distances. Granville and Merry Pete were called upon for a five-furlong speed test and through sloppy mud were timed in 1:01. Merry Pete was driving hard to keep up with his stablemate, which finished in handy fashion. The first three furlongs of the distance were covered in :35, while the half was timed in :47. Teufel, which is improving in steady fashion, was called upon for a foiir furlongs spcad test, which he accomplished in :4S, well in hand. The big colt was worked alone, and trainer Fitzsimmona was satisfied with the move. Following the trials of the C. V. Whitney horses, owner Whitney and trainer Healey mapped out a campaign for the early spring. Jack Healey, who handled the Whitney horses in Miami, returned here after that meeting and will leave on Wednesday for Havre de Grace. What horses that young trainer will race there will be decided upon over the week-end. Chief trainer Healey said he had not decided the exact number, but that it would be a representative lot. According to present plans, the division that raced in Miami will be kept there to fulfill engagements at Jamaica during that meeting, reinforced later by horses which are far enough advanced after the winter layoff. Jockey Workman will commute between here and Havre de Grace. Bob Smith, with the Brookmeade Stable charges, breezed all his older horses during the morning. They showed up well in their trials and appear to be well advanced after their early training in Columbia. Smith was forced to wave down some of the oldsters as they were running too fast to suit him. Jockeys Woolf and Corona were kept busy during the morning. The plans that he had mapped out to school the two-year-olds at the barrier, were abandoned due to the inclement weather. Smith stated that his juveniles were fairly well advanced and that several would be seen under colors at Jamaica. George Odom, with the Marshall Field-R. L. Gerry horses, did not call upon any of his charges for speed tests, but limited them to slow gallops. They are well advanced and were worked over the Columbia track previous to shipping. He spent the day arranging his stable details, and stated that he will be ready for the Jamaica meeting, where he intends to start Tintagel in the Paumonok Handicap. Eddie Arcaro will ride him. A large shipment is due here from Bowie, and in that lot will be the Calumet Farm, Val Crane, C. P. Winfrey, Greentree Stable, -Hirsch Jacobs and others.
