AAA Not so many years ago, racing was exclusively a mans game, but today, even the East has its share of women trainers, and exercise girls. In addition, women are attending races in ever-increasing num-1 bers and are among the sports most loyal fans. In recognition of this feminine side to racing, Garden State Park has an an- j nual "racing clinic for women," which will be held on Monday at Philadelphias Warwick Hotel. Ruth Chilton will be hostess at the luncheon and act as moder-1 I ator in the round table discussion.

In addition to the talks, Garden States newest factual film, "From Breeding Farm to Winners Circle," will be screened.
