Jockeys Struggle to Match Last Winter Form on Major Tracks
In winter southern tracks failed to push Sande Fator Lang Pool and other veterans aside. Leaders like C Meyer Luther Robertson Ingelone Woolf Rennie and others show little of last season’s skill against top rivals. Injuries delayed Ja D. Meyer. Luther sought Kentucky glory with limited success. Robertson left Cuba for New York, facing stiff metropolitan competition. Ingelone shifted westernly, while Woolf Rennie excel on Chicago tracks. Older riders Elston Pool Garner Shaefer Fields Ambrosa and Lavergne Fator posted notable showings on eastern circuits as Earl Sande struggled to recapture peak form.
