1 AURORA TURF NOTES , : 9 Silver Sarah, the long shot which finished second to Milky Way Farms Tiger in the Arkansas Derby, will be seen in action during the twenty-four day meeting opening the 1938 Chicago turf season, on May 2. She is the property of A. R. Born, who will have ten head at the Fox Valley course under the care of August Swenke. The other nine are Redress, Byrdine, Peter F., Florence B. F., Gaylord, The Tribesman, "Wee Santa, Glad Wings, and Carbon Copy. Aurora racing patrons will see an up-and-coming jockey star in little Joe Stampfel of Kansas City, a former schoolmate of that other clever rider, Sammy Roberts. Stampfel rides like a veteran and the youthful apprentice was one of the sensations of the recent Fair Grounds meeting. Frankie Seremba has three likely looking three-year-olds in his barn here, Pegging Away, Real Play, and Fairflax, the latter, a stakes winner as a juvenile last season. Fairflax is eligible to the Kentucky Derby, while Pegging Away and Real Play are crack fillies recently purchased from the Southland Stable dispersal sale. Fairflax will be pointed for the Illinois Derby on May 28, closing day of the meeting. President and general manager Robert S. Eddy. Jr., was an arival from New Orleans Monday, and front office activity will now go forward at full speed. Eddy served as one of the pall-bearers for the late Judge Charles C. Campau in New Orleans last week; the veteran official having served the Eddy organization for the past several years. Stall applications were received by racing secretary Dick Leigh yesterday from Harry I Bensinger, C. E. Irvin, B. L. Perry, John J. OBrien, N. W. Burkhart, J. P. Ebelhardt, J. J. Maloney, Mrs. H. Mart, J. Oros, F. Ab-bate, H Nellor, R. E. Burrus, Closson and Closson, Day Droam Farm and Mrs. D. L. Harton. The Mrs. Mart string is topped by the five-year-old Clasp. Harry Strange will do the training. Three four-year-olds and two two-year-olds comprise the J. J. Maloney stable trained by C. E. Stewart. The older horses are Zuba, Sailorman and Bay Boy, and the juveniles are the oddly-named Tuo and Tibi. The A. G. Tarn stable is now complete, with the arrival of a shipment from Tropical Park Tuesday. The Canadian sportsman has eleven head ready for racing from the opening bugle, namely, the "iron horse" Rush-away, Faust, Velociter, the Louisiana Derby winner and nominee for the Illinois and Kentucky Derby Wise Fox, Pelter, Martin Barton, Parity, Asyouwere, Beaver Lake, Jens Son and Swiftsport. The Corsicana Stable, trained by Tarn and jointly owned by him and Stroube Collins, also has nine quartered in the same barn. They are Bien Fait, Pundit, Sun Madras, Sun Victor, Bronze Saint, Madrious, Sir Gawaine, Stroube and Flag Salute. The Tarn string, incidentally, will be one of the largest on the grounds. The heavy riding for the stable will be done by Tarns contract jockey, A. Bodiou. Eddie Griffin will be the jockeys room custodian again this year. Griffin is popular with both the riders and the valets. Robert S. Eddy, Jr., has given horsemen at the Fair Grounds permission to remain in their barns there until April 20 before shipping, which is an extension of five days. The Day Dream Farm, from Madisonville, Ky., trained by William Day, will comprise nine head here, topped by the veteran campaigner Ding Bin, now seven years old. Seven are two-year-olds and the other is the three-year-old Rewot. Al Harton will have four racing under the colors of his wife, Mrs. D. L. Harton. They are the three-year-olds Joe Eaton and Minstrel Star and the four-year-olds Legsure and Company.
