I While no one with any authority
would make a positive statcmmt. the
indications at Belmont Park today
{were that My Own might be substi-
tuted for Zev.
Those in authority when
what horse would meet
would only reply:—
"I can't say as yet."
This latest development in the
great race. the rushing of My Own
to New York, according to Laurel
advices. was brought about by -a
long distance telephone message
from August Belmont. acting for the
Jockey Club. late yesterday after-
noon. to Admiral Cary T. Grayson.
owner of My Own.
This message. it was said. notified
Admiral Gray-son that the Jockey
- Club had ordered a special train for
My Own to leave the Laurel race
trackmt nine o'clock yesterday mor-
ning. and instructed the Admiral to
ship his horse at once.
Just what this latest move por-
tends is not known by the rank and
file of racegoers. At any rate. it
occasioned all sorts of rumors. Some
of these were that Zev had not train-
ed satisfactorily. that he had gone
wrong in his training, that after
Paprus' sensational workout yester-
day morning Sum llildreth. trainer
of Zev. had gotten “cold feet" and
was perfectly willing to allow My
Own to take a crack at the English
champion.
All those were laughed at by those
In a position to know. lllldrcth de-
clared that Zev was in file best of
shape and barring accidents would
be sure to go to the post today. Jock-
ey Club officials were. equally posi-
tive that there was nothing the. mat-

had been sent for simply to he on
the safe side. They did not want a.
disappointment at lIll‘ lost.minutc.

lily (min is: svhmluicil to reach the
Belmont truck between three and
four o'clock this afternoon.
The steady rain which began fall-
ing tyusterriuy naturally caused spec-
ulation on the big event to turn to
the possible effect of a. muddy track
on the result.
The argument has been advanced
that Zev. on his wide reputation as
:1. muddcr. might be restored to fav—
oritism in the betting in case of
heavy going.
The Rnnl'ocds colt “as the mud
horse sensation of the juvenile crop
of 1022. He won five races as a
two-year-old all in a row at Sarato-
3a. and four of these. victories were
scored over a muddy or heavy track.
He won his first race over a heavy
,, track. and his first stake victory. in
Which he defeated Dunlin and Bud
Lerner in the Grand Union Hotel
Stakes, “as in deep going.
Papyrus has no great reputation
as a mudder. since he has been for-
tunate enough to have had good go-
ing in his important tests. He has
one good mud race on his record.
however. and it recommends him
quite strongly.
"The, Duke of York Stakes. the last
engagement of the English colt be-
fore the St. Leger, was won by him
in deep mud. The filly Craig Eleyr.
carrying a.feather lmpost. finished
in front of the Derby winner. but
was disqualified.
Papyrus carried 138 pounds in the
Duke of York—an impost certainly
high enough to stop a three-year-
old unless he revolled in muddy go—
ing. The race was over the long
route of a mile and a quarter, and
he never faltered.
Of course a muddy track at Bel-
mont Park may be a different mat-
ter from a. muddy turf course in
England. The difference may seem
slight. but it is quite possibly enough
to have a very telling effect.
Belmont Park as a rule either
sheds water or drinks it up very
quickly. and in the past it has taken
a lot of rain to disturb its “bottom.”
which remains firm and gives the
horses sound footing after rather
heavy showers.
The track has been worked and
harrowcd much 0: late. however.
and has a deep top dressing. so that
it might not take a very long rain
to convert it into a quagmire.
If fl. should fall to the lot of My
Own to represent America in the In-
. ternal match a muddy track would
add new complications to the situa-
tion.‘tor My Own has no public form
on muddy tracks by which he may
be judged.
Off hand. one would say he should
be a superior mudder.
