Imperfection and vertical intrinsic depolarizing resonances have been overcome by the two partial Siberian snakes in the AGS. The relatively weak but numerous horizontal resonances are the main source of polarization loss in the AGS. A pair of horizontal quads have been used to overcome these weak resonances. This technique needs very accurate jump timing. Fast roll-over magnet cycle has been used and it improves the polarization transmission efficiency near extraction when acceleration usually is slowing down. Emittance preservation is also important to mitigate polarization loss. Recent experimental results including jump quad timing and emittance preservation are presented in this paper., Proceedings of the 5th Int. Particle Accelerator Conf., IPAC2014, Dresden, Germany
