Aqueduct By Chuck Connors Week-End Forays of Horses Continue Mr. Turf May Seek Stake at Detroit Return Traffic Judge to Belmont Park AQUEDUCT, L. I., N. Y., June 27. The thoroughbred colony at the three Long Island tracks again proved a well-stocked pool for Monmouth and Delaware Parks from which to draw starters for their featured week-end offerings. The Lamplighter was the salient feature at the New Jersey course and the New Castle Handicap at the Stanton, Del., oval. Eleven of the better regarded campaigners from this area were seen under colors in both offerings but unlike the past the forays into strange lands were not productive in monetary returns. At Monmouth for the Lamplight er, Mr. Al L., Racing Fool, Portersville, Bunnys Babe and Ambergris faced the starter, while at Delaware, Canadiana, Spinning Top, Queens Beeches, Grecian Queen, Evening Out and Lavender Hill paraded post-ward. Then out in Cleveland Traffic Judge, a New York campaigner, accounted for the Ohio Derby, to prove the exception in earnings. While it is true that the horses are looked upon as New York campaigners, their respective owners with a few exceptions, maintain homes at widely scattered points in the nation, and up into Canada. E. P. Taylor of Toronto, Ont., owns Canadiana, while Grecian Queen is owned by Mrs. B. F. Whitaker of. Dallas, Texas. Portersville is a Mobile, Ala.-owned three-year-old. Queens Beeches, owned by Mrs. John Hanes, and Racing Fool, owned by the Cain Hoy Stable of Harry F. Guggenheim can be regarded as real New York representatives. Traffic Judge is owned by Clifford Mooers who calls the wide open spaces west of the Mississippi his home. Anyway, their racing interests are for the most part centered in this area and on that score are considered adopted sons. The movements to and from New York were discussed by the paddock gang at great length and the members were in agreement that an owner or trainer is permitted a certain amount of latitude in shipping here and there, especially when no opportunities are available, for the moment, at home. May Increase Sysbnby to 00,000 The shipments here and there as. the main topic was shelved in a hurry when the news was broadcast that the Belmont Park stakes for the fall meeting held one enticing morsel of nation-wide interest, namely the Sysonby Stakes. This tidbit will be a hundred grand prize. Providing that certain starters, namely Swaps and Nashua, are to match strides with High Gun, Helioscope and others. Mr. Widener, heretofore none too enthusiastic over so called match races, would go all out to bring the nations top ones together, if their respective owners are inclined to run. Well, anyway, the fall is a long way off and the Sysonby could prove a real honest to goodness horse race, "if." Don Voorhees, the orchestra man, deserted the Long Island scene for the summer months. He moved over to Monmouth Park and will be a regular at that meeting for the duration. . . . Mrs. Henry C. Phipps was a week-end visitor for the running of the stake program. . . .
