Here and There on the Turf i West After More Eastern Money Time Alone New England Futu ¬ rity Choice ChoiceMatch Match Is Not Sweepstakes Early Date Will Aid Meeting A lot of Eastern money went West when Porters Mite won the Belmont Futurity and more of it may head in the same directidn after the running of the New England Fu ¬ turity at Narragansett Park October 29 Any way you look at it one of the most promis ¬ ing candidates for that 25000 added event is Time Alone the candidate of Mrs Frank A Carreaud who although from Texas more recently has established California as the headquarters of her racing activity Time Alone by the way a contemporary of Porters Mite in spring racing on the West Coast left no doubt as to his high position among the New England Futurity eligibles on Wednes ¬ day in the Pawtucket Handicap in which he picked up 121 pounds and ran the six fur ¬ longs in 110 just twofifths off the track record to score by five lengths And he had something left too tooTime Time Alone will notbe called upon to en ¬ gage too many of the outstanding twoyear olds on October 29 which makes his chances appear all the more attractive Fresh and good at the moment and on the grounds the son of Time Maker and Gladys McClain shouldnt require too much training within the next eight days to be in complete readi ¬ ness for the mile and seventy yards affair As the conditions provide for scale weight with allowances the Carreaud colt will get in at 117 pounds despite his Pawtucket Handicap and will not have to give any more Continued on thlrtyHtth pagej HERE AND THERE ON THE TURF Continued from tecond page than eight pounds except to fillies to any of his opponents and they will not include El Chico Volitant Johnstown Eight Thirty Ariel Toy Porters Mite Third Degree or Dinner Date DateJust Just what Time Alones opposition will be a week from tomorrow may be difficult to guess Benefactor is an eligible and prob ¬ ably will prefer the distance but his status is rather doubtful Challedon recent winner of the Maryland Futurity is a possibility as is Easy Mon although the latter was well beaten in the Pawtucket Impound which barely beat out Time Alone for place money back of Johnstown in the Richard Johnson Stakes is a likely starter but he will be in receipt of only three pounds from the Car reaud flier whereas he had a ten pound shade in the Laurel event eventOne One of the four Milky Way eligibles may develop while other possibilities are T M Dorsett Olney and one of the Wheatley Stable colts but regardless of what may be uncovered Time Alone is the number one candidate for a purse that should net the winner very close to 35000 Just issued is the program book for the forthcoming meeting of the Mary ¬ land Jockey Club and it contains most of the essential conditions of the pro ¬ posed match race as follows Tuesday November 1 Sixth race The Pimlico Special 15000 added Seabiscult and War Admiral Winner take all weight 120 pounds One mile and threesixteenths The owner of the winner to receive a trophy Your corre ¬ spondent has been somewhat confused about the sum of 5000 posted by each owner but he is no longer after reading the conditions The race is not a sweepstakes and the own ¬ ers will be returned their checks if both horses start Otherwise the horse default ¬ ing will lose his forfeit to the other which will walk over and receive an additional 5000 from the association Many persons entertained the idea that the amount posted by the two owners would go into the purse Pimlico certainly has arranged a tasty program for its autumn meeting and if the weather is as good as was the case last fall the fifteen day term should be marked by some of the best sport of the entire season anywhere A stake is carded daily and when the meeting is over horses in all divisions will have had their fling including steeple ¬ chasers and Marylandbreds Just now the match race holds the spotlight but it was an excellent move to schedule it for opening day and get it out of the way so the Pimlico patrons could settle down and concentrate their interest in such time honored events as the Riggs Walden and Bowie Handicaps and the Futurity as well as the features of lesser worth and the overnight events en lentlessly all season by the punters
