BELMONT PARK NOTES | 4 — 4 J. H. Whitneys Singing Wood was shipped to Narragansett Park by trainer Healy and turned over to W. J. Norton. The horse has engagements at that point. Devils Banner, owned by the Brookmeade Stable, was excused from the first race Monday by the stewards, due to a light fever. Jockey H. Richards accompanied the Walter ML Jeffords stable from Maryland and accepted mounts during the day. Jockey Frank Catrone sent word that he would arrive from Narragansett to serve as pallbearer at the funeral of Laverne Fator. Earl Sande, L. McAtee and R. Workman will serve as the other pallbearers. Walter H. Donovan, secretary of the Florida State Racing Commission, was among the arrivals. He will remain for a brief visit. Preston Burch, with the Walter M. Jeffords horses, arrived from Pimlico. Hymie Neusteter arrived from Pimlico with the horses he trains for himself. Luke Tully, one of the veterans of the turf, checked in from Maryland and will remain through the New York season. Trainer Fred Hopkins wishes to correct an erroneous statement made in a broadcast previous to the Preakness in which it was said that George Kelley trained Equipoise as a two- and three-year-old. The colt was developed by Hopkins and raced by him for H. P. and C. V. Whitney as a two-, three- and four-year-old before turning him over to T. J. Healey. Al Burten recovered from a recent indisposition which interrupted his execution of duties as clerk of scales and placing judge. Bold Venture, winner of the Derby and Preakness. returned from Baltimore. His next scheduled start will be in the Belmont Stakes, according to owner M. L. Schwartz. Granville. Teufel, He Did and Hollyrood returned from Pimlico, while Good Goods was returned from Narrangansett Park. Two Bob and Sparta, which raced in the Kentucky Oaks at Louisville, returned to Belmont Park during the morning. Raid, a two-year-old by Jamestown — Startle, owned by G. D. Widener, was destroyed Monday. The colt fractured an ankle recently and could not be saved. Starters in the Metropolitan which received injuries during the running were Sation, King Saxon, Cycle and Clang. The injuries, while not of a serious nature, were enough, nevertheless, to delay their training for a short time.
