CLASSY RACING PROMISED
SATURDAY WILL SEE BEGINNING
OF TURF EVENTS.


II the present run Of good weather
holds the people who go out to the
Fair will watch some OF the classfest
racing ever held outside of the big
ring. There will not be any races
today. but Saturday they will start
of with q whiri.
Last night Mr.. Frank d. Fuller. the
official starting Judge, and w. 3. Web
Der, chairman of the Racing Commit
tee, were working on the card for
Saturday. While not definitely set
tied yet. It 10 probable that there will
be a couple of stake races that VIII
be corkers Oneswill be the 2:1o pace,
and Since the elimination of Bland g..
this looks like horse race that will
be. worth going long ways to see.
The probable starters vial be Lille
Pointer. Korrect shape. Geers Direct,
Gibson Boy and Prince Patrick. This
2:1o pace in Nashville. Memphis and
Birmingham has, OF course. been a
walkover for Bland g. but now the
field will be open and 1t looks like 1t
viii be a Tight to a finish.
The first 2.10 pace held on this cir
cuff was in Nashville, Bland s. taking
1t IN straight heats OF 2:12 and Ell. .
Korrect Shape finished second In the
first heat, but Wishard with LilliePoint-
err beat the Kentucky gelding in the
HtCOHu .uc&ts OfSf @sACaRAA0 thS
Missouri crack took the 2:1o pace In
straight heats of zoe and 2:o7 Ia.
Prince Patrick finishing second in both
heats.
In Che first heat of the Memphis race
Korrect Shape finished third, but In
the second heat (2:o7 lad Lille Point
err again beat Korrect Shape and I'm
ished third, Een Rennick driving the
league mare as Mr.. Wishard had come
to Montgomery with bunch Of the
Mccurdy colts. Up in Birmingham.
Bland S. landed the 2:10 pace In
straight heats Of 2:0g and 2:10. Ia.
and with Wishard driving her, the
| league mare finished second In both
| heats, beating Prince Patrick, who I'm
ished third in both heats and Korrect
| Shape, who finished fourth In both
heats. &
In Memphis. Prince Patrick won the
first heat OF the 2:os pace ina2:os 1-2,
Korrect shape beatingS him the next
two heats in 2t11 1-2. 2:1D s-4. In
Birmingham. Korrect shape won the
/ first two heats of the Ell pace in
| 2:O8 LIZ both times, Robert Baron taxi
| ing the next three heats in 2:10.
ala Id and 2:13, Gibson Boy finish-
| ing thiN in the first heat beating
George Hal and Marie Bradley From
this 1t can be seen that there will be
some fively stepping in the 2:10. pace
Saturday Bland S. is out of the way
and the race is not likely to be won
| in straight heats.
These stakes are ala two in three,
| but the chances are that Saturday 1t
will take something like four hot heats
| that will have to be paced in 2:09 or
better every time, and the horse that
can last and repeat the last heat as
good as the first will pull down the
| big end of the purse.
| The 2-year-old trot that viii prob
ably be put on Saturday viii be some
| thing nifty and while there win be
but three starters. It promises to be q
classy race. The three starters will
be Tramping Girl, the flly owned by
Mr.. McCurdy; Celestine, the fiIly own
ed by Mr.. Garth, and Fred s. Nc, the
Mc1wen colt that R S. Thomas is
handling. In Memphis Ben Rennick
won the first heat of the 2-year-old
trot in 1926 ga, with the Thomas colt
second and the McCurdy filly third
| In the second heat Wishard won
the Thomas colt again second ami the
Garth flly third. Wishard took the
third heat in 2:30. the Thomas colt
second and the Garth flly third.
In Memphis Rennick won with the
| Garth filly In straight heats OF 1927 Ia,
| and 1925 Ia; Maud Hamilton, another
Tramp hlly, owned by the McCurdys,
finishing second both heats. with Fred
s. Nc third both heats.
In Birmingham, Wishard won the
first heat of the 2-year-oli trot in
2:29 IA, with Tramping Girl, the
Thomas colt finishing second, and the
Garth filly third. Rennick won the
next two heats with the Garth FLY In
2:24 1-2, 2:24 IA. Tramping Girl I'm
ishing second and Fred S. Nc third In
both the next heats.
| From this II looks as II the 2-year-
old trot Saturday will be a pretty
even break. and II the track at Van
diver Park Is at all fast, the winner
