Coming like a Rip Van Winkle awak-
ening, the black with red maltese cross
colors Of Lucky Baldwin are again
as familiar with racegoers at Oakland
as they were with turf patrons a decade
back. FL Dinero took the two-year-old
dash yesterday, and Cruzados, the fly
ing son Of Emperor of Norfolk. placed
the five-furlong handicap to the credit
Of the master of Santa Anita ranch.
CruzadOs it was thought would
spreadeagle the other three starters,
even though shouldering 122 pounds.
The ring held him a 1 to 8 chance, and
after getting away poorly BuIlman set
the bay horse down a nose in advance
Of Sad Sam at the wire. Iredeus ran
third. AS the track was slow the time.

lone outsider to win, ran in ahead of
Spondoolix in the second.

Many thought Anvil received the
nomination for the mile and a six
