KEENELAND PARK NOTES . i Tom B. Young, who has twenty-seven head here, expects to van seven or eight horses to the trotting track next week. Young has not selected the lot as yet, but those that are not up to a race or are slow in rounding to form will be absent from the main division during the coming session at Keeneland. Jimmy W., Ada W. and For Romance, the property of H. M. Walker, were unloaded Thursday morning. They came from Louisville by van. Reuben White, who did a creditable job of starting at Oaklawn Park, put in his appearance Wednesday morning and took charge of the schooling from the gate in the half-mile chute. White, who will be first assistant to starter Hamilton, remains here while Hamilton looks after the schooling at Churchill Downs until the day before the opening at Keeneland. One of the busiest officials on the grounds is William Bishop, track superintendent. Bishop, while not looking after the construction of improvement, is having stalls bedded down for incoming stables, which are arriving almost hourly. The small stable of R. T. Runnels, consisting of Star Bud, Whatway and Dandy Jay, unloaded Thursday afternoon. According to track superintendent William Bishop, trainer J. J. Flanigan of the Valdina Farms will ship twelve head here the latter part of the week from Texas. The remainder of the stable will be sent to Churchill Downs. Charles Moore, Association clocker at Suffolk Downs, was an arrival from Houston. Moore is distributing stakes blanks to horsemen here and also finds time to lend a hand to the small group of dockers already here. Another stable to check in Thursday evening was that of J. D. Weil, in charge of trainer Morris Griner. The consistent stable came from Hot Springs and was composed of Top Spin, Double B., Morris Griner, Rockabye Babe, Winsome Lassie, May Supreme, Bernardine W., Moses Dream, Air Mistress and Downsideup. Some of the larger stables on the way are the eight in charge of C. Gentry, a like number for Mrs. E. E. Russell and eleven belonging to the Motor City Stable and to H. C. Wolfe. The stables were campaigned at Oaklawn and were due to leave Hot Springs Wednesday afternoon. The Woodvale Stable, owned by R. G. Martin and trained by Steve Judge, will be well represented in the two-year-old races this year, the entire stable consisting of youngsters which are now in training at Keeneland. Quartered at the Lexington trotting track is the stable of W. L. Young, which consists of the older Oh Dave and Thistle Ace, and the two-year-old Macacu3, a chestnut gelding, by Macaw Flora Wildair.
