1 BAY WIEADOWS TURF NOTES | : Lou Rowan, Pasadena sportsman, who races a stable of horses here, left today for England, where he will purchase one of Englands leading stake horses. He had deals pending for several horses before he left, but did not disclose their names. The invader will probably be seen in stakes here next fall and then will be pointed for the Santa Anita Handicap. Jockey Ralph Neves was on the sick list opening day with a slightly strained back. Although his condition is not serious, he was taken off all of his mounts for Wednesday afternoon. S. J. "Stub" Norris arrived from Caliente with a promising two-year-old, Jockarando, which was sired by Jock, an eastern stakes winner. Norris will bring up several other horses in the next few days. Over the Top* a handicap horse owned by A. M. Koewler, is back in training here, after having been freshened up since Santa Anita. By Man o War, Over the Top is "sulky" at times, but he has always shown a liking for the Meadows strip and may go well here this meeting. Jockey Freddie Scheih, under contract to J. H. Whitney, will do most of the riding for trainer Earl Beezley at this meeting. Scheih was aboard Roman Hero in his two handicap triumphs at Tanforan. The Craig Tull horses, recent arrivals from Washington, have been registered at the racing secretarys office, and are reported ready for action. Included in the list are Bedo, Gold Knight, Parcelso, Whip Hand, Easter Doll, Broadway Star, and the two-year-old Gold Norm. Tull holds the contract on the clever apprentice rider, Gus Dye. I. B. Fitzgerald was today appointed trainer of Julius Wilds Sweet Snooksie, a two-year-old filly which is rapidly taking the place of Deer Fly in Wilds affections. Mrs. J. F. Waters good sprinter, Time Flight, is back in training again after a rest and will be seen under silks shortly. H. Yancey has taken over the horses of J. L. Taussig to train. He replaces A. Ferguson as the conditioner of Merry Breezes, and Gallant Friar. Jockey Jack "Red" Pollard, who was recently married, states that he will be galloping horses within the next month, and expects to be able to resume riding early in the Hollywood Park meeting. Pollard and his bride were visitors at Bay Meadows on opening day. Trainer Jack Taylor reports that Mooney-brook, a six-year-old which was fired early in the year, is back in training again. Inauguration, also from the Taylor stable, has been fired and turned out. The plater Hastrarch, which was gelded fifteen days ago, is back in training and ready to race. Suffern, which was placed on the Tanforan stewards list because of soreness, has been approved by Bay Meadows officials ana will go postward in the feature race Friday.
