~HURCHHILL DOWNS RACE
4 TRACK, May lis. Peabody
Martie Flynn, on fast track,
~ annexed the feature event OF
the opening card, the Clark
Handicap, here today. The 4-year-old
son of Sweep On was coupled in the
ings was second and Carriage third.
Nine started.
Martie Flynn, under hard drive by
Jockey e. Meyer, steadily bettered his
position after passing the half-mile post
and under punishment wore Jock down
in the last 20 yards, to win In driv-
ing finish by a neck.
Easter Stockings always was the
contender, but racing in close quarters,
came with rush on the outside
through the stretch and might have
won In a few more strides.
Carriage closed with a rush and was
strongest of all.
Jock, the favorite, led to the six
tenth pole and stopped badly. The
race was worth S10,975 to the winner
and paid S12.66 for a 50 mutuel ticket.
The time was 146.
They are going to have to reckon
with this horse Clyde Van Dusen In the
Kentucky Derby, The skeptics who said
that the Man o. War colt can't run
were seeking quiet spots late today. He
won the sixth race and secondary fea-
ture, in handy style, trouncing such
hopefuls as Vermajo, Port Harlem, Paul
Bunyan, Boris, Deep River, Suitor, Her
rick, Hot Shot and Lord Braedlabane.
Port Harlem. owned by Martin Finn,
grabbed second place and Vermajo, of
the Three DIS Stock Farm, was third
The race, of course, was not a true
Derby test as it was over the short 6Ia-
furlong route, but Clyde was going away
at the end and apparently eating up
the track

Pitted against a fast field In the flfth
but of of those good races last Fall
gets the call over FLY HAWK. The
latter would appear to be better suited
at a longer route. However, he is re-
ported working fast and may find
enough speed to be up in time to make
the result close. BARBARA ran fast
mile recently to trim good ones Hard
to guess her, but she is dead fit and
should give a good account of herself
in this company.
SURPRISE has won twice at Lexine-
ton. Over fast going doubt if there is
enough competition in here to stop her:
Looks best Of the field in the sixth. FULL
TIDE won at the first asking a week
ago. Trimmed fair field and may be
better than the race indicates. Make
her the one to fear. ALCIBIADES
managed to get nose decision in her
only start. A highly touted miss, she
should have no trouble sharing in this
purse.
MINERVUS left Bowie to 20 to Lex
1ngton and win both of his starts
there. Being asked to travel a slightly
longer route in the seventh, but he Is
SO mt that he looks much the best of his
neld.' HIGH STORM trims good ones
now and then. Been rested up since
new Orleans racing and should be on
edge for an honest effort. The one to
beat. ROX1E WEIDEL races we'll in
mud. If she gets it could take 1t all.
over fast strip Is just possibility.

MANY RICH RACES
IN BELMONT MEET
Event, Named for Track, One
of Biggest Prizes of
Turf Campaign.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON.

NEW YORK, May 11.-Beautiful Bel
mont Park, with its characteristic So
ciety setting and historic stake events,
opens its twenty-fourth season May II
with the Inauguration of the 21-day
Spring race meeting.
Labeled society's playground because
of its luxurious grandstand and club
house and it's we'll laid out grounds,
Americas Newmarket is the realiZa-
ton of the late August Belmont for a
track operated with profits a secondary
feature.
Modern Belmont dates back only to
1905, but 10 of its stake events ante
date its opening, having been run over
other now extinct New York tracks.
Topping the list of rich Spring
purses is the Belmont, $4,000 added
race for three-year- olds, rich in history
Its actual value runs to more than
$4,000. Because of its historic back
ground and attractive purse the Bel
mont is race sought for by Americas
leading turfmen. 1t was first run over
the old Jerome Park track in 1867. and
transferred to Morris Park in 1890.
Handicap, race for fillieS and mares
years and upward, which had its first
running one year after the Belmont
inaugural.
Sharing importance with the Belmont
are the National Stallion Stakes. the
Withers, the Juvenile, the Toboggan
Handicap. the Metropolitan Handicap
and the Suburban Handicap, all of
which have a $4,000 added value. with
The exception of the latter, which is
worth $4,000 added to the winner
Rlue Larkspur. E. r. Bradley's candi-
date for the Kentucky Derby, won the
National Stallion Stakes last year as
2-voar-old.
