Monmouth Confronted With Stall Perplexities 1,513 Horses Granted Stabling With Space Available for 1,250 OCEANPORT, N. J., May 23.— Faced with a plethora of racing talent, officials of the northern New Jersey racecourse are attempting to crowd 1,513 horses into 1,250 available stalls. The overflow is due to an over-assignment of stabling room, and unless last-minute cancellations are received, the traffic in Monmouth Parks backstretch area promises to be thicker than Forty-second and Broadway at high noon. Thoroughbreds already are arriving at the seaside track, including one carload from far-off California, which shipped in without taking the precaution of first applying for stall room. They have been bedded down at an outlying farm. Others are due from Kentucky, New England, Maryland and New York, although the greatest majority will van over the road from Garden State Park when that track closes on May 30. Several stables due for a Monmouth campaign have strength, both numerically and in class performers. Jack Long, trainer of the Darby Dan Farm, Tommy Heard, with a public stable and J. Bowes Bond, also training for a variety of owners, are to be most heavily represented during the June 13-August 10 meeting with 30 horses each. B. P. Bond, a brother to Bowes, has been assigned space for 29, A. F. East for 28, F. A. Bonsai and Lyle Phillips will each Ship in 25. Many newcomers are among those assigned stalls. G. Y. Booker, with four; R. W. Collins, nine; T. F. Corcoran, three Belmont Evans, eight; Glenn Felkner, four; MacKenzie Miller, eight; Randy Se-chrest, eight; Clyde Troutt, 22, and B. B. Williams, 16.
