The w " Maryland Jockey Club had planned to adopt a policy of having fifth awards at * this meeting, but abandoned it when the 0 of TRA directorate expressed a dim view of n such a distribution, without, however, I C stating what they considered so objection- , able about it. There is to be a meeting of t, the TRA in which this matter is expected I come up for discussion, and we have a c notion some of the member tracks will cast a vote in favor of it. This corner has heard all sorts of arguments for and s against offering fifth or sixth awards. Some I j, fear it would lead to a competition among s tracks for horses on the basis of attractive t awards for also-rans, eventually extending g beyond the first five or six. But then the e TRA might agree to an arbitrary limit. c Racing, of course, cannot guarantee any- s body who invests in a horse that the animal s a will not be a liability, and we are opposed r such things as reimbursing jockey fees, j is But it is important in the interests of a £ sounder racing economy to spread some of ] the fabulous purse distribution over more j of the horsemen. i AAA Turfana: Mrs Henry Obre, who is racing small string in Danny Sheas care, has _ imported a two-year-old Signal Light fil- £ ly for competition here. . . .
