Bherpshrad Hay, Gravcscnd and Belmont Park aro the three track where the tremendous task of preparing a thou and or more horses for racing I taken up by the thoroughbred trainer. These trainers are by no meana just beginning their work of preparing, for the trainer's day 1 full of care and trouble from one year's end to another. He has weathered the winter atorma, " watched the lender 2-year-old doing their first preliminary gal lops and looked carefully over the old hones In his string to ace the chances of their going through another season and training well. The long months of shed work and Indoor exercise are over and the busiest time of the year is at hand for every horsemsn. It Is doubtful If ths morning scene at either Bheepshead. Graveaend or Belmont Park, with Us hundreds of horses exer cising In ths delightful early morning air, all ths life and action of a great outdoor port In Its preliminary trlala, would stir ' ths heart of Governor Hughes or Wilbur F, Crafts, the reformer, for these have long since come to be regarded as men without certain gracious humsn traits that reflect all the brighter side of life.. At Bheepshead all the extensive improvements that were planned last year have been finished. The new track Is completed in very detail. The new track has not been worked over to any great extent, the ma jority of the training at Bheepshead Bay being done over the yearling track. The Improvements In the grandstand have been completed and popular Bheepshead will ba Immensely attractive In Us new drcst and environment. " Onitn Eager at the Tracks. E. R. Bradley is down at the track al most every morning and Is a keen watcher of everything that goes on. David Gideon is another who for many years has been one of ' ths . earliest of the rallbirds, and to this habit he owes much of his success in the early part of the season. James R. Keens is a frequent visitor to his stable and nothing pleases him so much as to have the t-year-olds brought out to look , them over for Improvement and commen dation of Trainer Rowe's efforts. Colli Is In fine condition and his only blemish, ths enlarged hock of last season, has al most disappeared. Ths great string of 1-year-olds in Rowe's charge is the wonder and admiration of all the visitors to Bheepshead Bay. Not many of the Keene horses will be prepared for early events, probably the earliest being Restlgouche and Gretna Green. Over at the big' Whit ney barns at the end of the Futurity course A. J. Joyner, the new trainer for Harry Payne. Whitney, is getting ac quainted' with ths stable that was left him by ths late John W. Rogers. Here is another fine lot of 8-year-olds of royal breeding, but few of them have been asked to. do fast work up to the present time. The big, upstanding youngster Is Right Guard, by Hamburg, out of Endurance, by Right; there Is a brown colt by Clifford, out of Black Venus; a chestnut fltty by Hamburg, out of Blue Girl, is in ths royal collection, and another by Hamburg, out of Irish Reel. Joyner Is greatly pleased with his new string and they are sure to do him credit. He will still train the Bel mont youngsters he had before the death of Mr. Rogers, but the Keene t-year-olds have been turned over to .Trainer Rows, Baby Wolf, the crack sprinter of the late fall season, is doing finely. - Brookdalo Nymph, Bar None and Bea Wolf of the older division are In fine fettle and there are great things In prospect for the pop ular '"blue, brown cap", the coming season.

Last fall the officials of the Maryland Jockey club decided to make ; some Im provements at the track and for the last two months workmen hRve been busy, at the course constructing buildings and re modeling the track, so' that when the meet ing begins the Plmlico course will be one of the prettiest south of New York.

' NO PLACE TOR PIKERS TO PLAY One BettlnaT Reform In New York Tome Ont of AsjHation. NEW YORK, April 18. Having soored the first knockdown In the battle against the anll-bettlng crusaders, the racing associa tions naturally fuel confident of a complete victory, and have started in already to strengthen themselves, so to speak, against any future attack on the sport. While the fight was being wage4 , at Albany the rwpresentatlves of tha ju5i.'y club and the various tracks U. New York have been discussing reforms hlch they admitted were necessury. When th fight waxtd warm these people began to realize that the betting game has been conducted too openly. Just what has been planned In the way of retoims cannot be learned at this time, but when the announcement Is mad we can expect to hear that the so called "dollar field" has been abolished and the price of aduiUaion raise J so that only the people who are comfortably ahlu lo patronise racing will be catered to. Thu racing associations realize that with the abolition of the cheap field they will rut otf a source of revenue that brought thousands of dollars into the box office evjy day. But the track owners are ready to sacrifice even this big Item no as to silenc tti clamor against the betting evil. One plan that was suggested early In the year, and i' Mi is ,very likely to ' be f fit "il'i adopted, Is to fix an even price admission to all parts of the track. It is argued that If the general admission was placed at $5 it would keep away the cheap betters, who made the dollar field their haven. Then, again, particular attention is to be given to the people who enter the course, even though they should want to put up the Jo. Children and minors are to be barred entirely, the purpose being to attract a clintole that can afford to gamble on a race track. There, will also be a charge In the betting ring. It may even go as far as to shut out the so-called pikers and fix the minimum bet one can make at 13. This would be effective. Many people have suggested doing away with the exchange of money. To accomplish this the bookmakers would have to organize and establish a sort of a clearing house, which would Issue betting paper to any amount and which could be used In the ring Just the same as money, the bettor or bookmaker having a settle ment every night or the next morning. But no matter what changes are to be made, It will be on the lines aforemen tioned. . There will no longer be that lavish ttilsplay of money, nor will the rough and cheap element be catered to.
