r 1 L J i . i , ! ; j j I j j WELCOME JUVENILE HORSES - i Unusual Demand for Stable Room, for Youngsters at Hialeah. a Joseph E. Widener Points Out Great Num- ber of Tito-Year-Olds Developed at Miami Course. MIAMI, Fla., Oct 26. The fact that Hia- leah Park has established itself as a winter proving ground for newly-turned two-year- olds is resulting In an unusual demand for additional stabling accommodations during the forthcoming season, January 13 to March 6. Owners of large racing establishments more and more are becoming convinced that bringing up the untried youngsters in the tropical sunshine is an important part of their racing education and one that is truly more beneficial than enforced indoor idleness in zero weather sections of the country. "It is my ambition to make Hialeah Park the Utopia of wintering grounds for thoroughbreds," said Joseph E. Widener, president of the Miami Jockey Club, in discussing the Hialeah season. "With a climate that is I unsurpassed for the proper and natural outdoor development of horses, especially yearlings, I am sold on the wonders worked by the tropical sunshine. If children thrive on the health-giving rays why shouldnt young colts and fillies likewise benefit? I do not want owners to suffer a division of their stables, and those who have highly-regarded horses which they do not wish to send to the post until spring, are welcome to include this group among their active winter campaigners at Hialeah."
