Weil-Known Chicago Owner Has No Eligi-I bles in Inaugural or Lassie — Trio in Classic, ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, 111., June 20.— Among the stables expected to figure prominently in the decision of stakes and overnight races at Arlington Park, whose summer meeting opens Monday, June 26, is that of Mrs. John D. Hertz, of Chicago, whose husband is a director of the Arlington Park Jockey Club. Attached to this establishment are two other- prominent figures in racing, Don Cameron, its trainer, and Johnny Long-h den. the jockey. Cameron is one of the countrys ranking trainers and in addition to the thoroughbreds he conditions for Mrs. Hertz, he also has horses for Mrs. Vera Bragg and J. Shirley Riley. Longden was the countrys leading rider last year and, annually, ranks among the best in his profession. Longden now is vacationing at his home in Canada, in anticipation of what he hopes will be a big season at Arlington. Eight stakes are on the Arlington program, and Mrs. Hertz has made nomina-r_ tions to six of them. She made no entries for the Inaugural Handicap or the Arling-e ton Lassie Stakes, but her stable is repre-n sented in the subscription lists of the Matron Handicap, the Stars and Stripes Handicap, the Hyde Park Stakes, the Classic, Arling-n ton Handicap and the Arlington Futurity. The three-year-old filly, Kindergarten, has been made eligible for the Matron, and Count dOr is entered in both the Stars and Stripes and the Arlington Handicaps. THREE ELIGIBLES FOR CLASSIC. Count Happy will be her representative in the Hyde Park Stakes and the Futurity, and in Book Plate, Count Anklet and Gala Hour, Mrs. Hertz has three eligibles for the Classic, which, it is hoped, also will draw the entry of such star three-year-olds as Johnstown, Challedon and others. Longden, whose services are expected to be much in demand here this summer, headed the list of American jockeys last year with a total of 236 winners, beating his nearest rival, Johnny Adams, by twenty. In-[ cidentally, Adams also may be seen in colors here this meeting. Robert S. Shelley, newly appointed racing secretary at the north side track, has opened his offices and, with several of his assistants, is busy making his department ready for next Mondays opening. He is giving con-3 siderable attention to the weights for the Inaugural Handicap, a sprint of seven f ur-l longs for a ,500 added purse, which will be presented as the feature of the opening pro- ! gram. Shelleys assignments are to be an-I I j nounced Thursday, he said. Fifty-four horses were nominated for this ■ # j stakes, and a large starting field is in pros-l pect.
