Releases Nominations
Race Secretary Charles NC
Lehman, who arrived yesterday
from Texas, made known the list
of nominations today, following
a conference with General Man
ager Edward Burke. Both men,
and they have every reason to be,
are we'll satisfied with the horse
mems generous response to the
three outstanding races at the
forthcoming session.
General Manager Burke has
already started plans for hand
ling a record turnout of fans
when commonwealth and Black
Helen meet in the Chesapeake.
The Bradley miss isn't eligible for
the forthcoming Kentucky Derby,
and her veteran trainer Bill Hur-
ley, will bend every effort to
have her win the Chesapeake, so
that she can have claim on
the years three-year-old crown.
However, Black Helen will find
in Commonwealth a worthy foe.
The Philadelphia should prove
to be another big gate attraction
and may even outdraw the Ches-
apeake, as among Discovery's op'
ponents is Mrs. Silas B. Mason's
Head Play, one that is coming on
from California with a grand
winters record to his credit.
The Brookmeade Stable, whose
Cavalcade won last years renewal
of the Chesapeake in the new
record time of 1:43 3-5, will be
represented in the forthcoming
renewal by Physic Bid, Young
Native, Black Gift and Vain
Bachelor.

Ward. However, young Ward had
best not build his castles too high
for there are some youngsters
now training in this State, who if
they run to morning trials, will
knock Wards charges right out
of the park" as enthusiastic race
goers are won't to say.
