J., 5 May 10. — Trainer W. J. "Buddy" Hirsch a, today declared that, after long thought on th the matter, it would be premature at this be time to declare To Market out of the Preakness, but at the same time added that there at at still no certainty he would go. pr Hirsch and To Markets owner, Sam d£ Mason II., are in the paradoxical position fe at once being a trifle high, and a trifle da weak, on the chances of To Market going a co distance of ground. Prior to the run- or one ning of the Indian King allowances here s* yesterday, both Hirsch and Mason had m adhered to the idea that To Market was stritcly a sprinting type, an idea enhanced the running of the Wood Memorial at W Jamaica, in which To Market was soundly beaten. But while the Indian King Tuesday was M May at six furlongs, To Market won so con- fir vincingly that the score revived a slight c0 in the hearts of both Mason and Pa Park Hirsch. co coin There is a race in the condition book at cei Pimlico on Monday, over a distance of m men ground, to which To Market would be eli- tn the gible. It is possible that To Market will be S0] vanned to Pimlico for a try in that condi- in in race, and his showing in that effort foi for would be used as a determining guide r c toward the establishment of his true Preak-ness status. at at Hirsch is the type of trainer who would ne; ness. always rather be pessimistic and pleasantly we we surprised than optimistic and then rudely op awakened. All of which makes the horse pri prise at at ne; ness. we we op pri prise at at 1 this time a question mark in the Preak- Re Rev. Insofar as To Market is concerned, Mr Mr. deem that Hirsch has some sort of a a 1 opinion that the horse could pleasantly sur- a a 1 when it comes to a route. est
