From Ninth Place
To Beat Pictor
Market Wise Gets Third

a, the Associated Presa.

~ the ASsociated PresA
NEW YORK, May 16. Mrs.
Parker Corning's attention turned
on a blazing burst Of speed In the
stretch today to come from far
back and win the 10Th running Of
the Metropolitan mile at Belmont
Park.
The son Of Equipoise finished two
lengths in front Of w. L. Brann's
Pictor. Lou Tufano's Market Wise
was third.
The time for the mile was 1:9677ts
Fsvorite In the field Of II, Atten-
ton returned his hackers 81 for
each - win ticket. Ridden by Don
Meade, he carried top weight Of 126
pounds.
The victory was worth $1l,lSo 10
the winner.
After the race. while the big
crowd cheered, Peru's President,
Manuel Prado, honored guest Of
the afternoon, presented huge
Peruvian silver cup to Trainer Max
Hirsch. who represented Mrs. Corn
Ing. The flag and emblems of the
sister republic flew atop the roof
alongside Old Glory.
Record Day for Railroad.
Today's attendance was 32,724,
which topped last years Metropoli-
tan Day crowd Of 81 .ee7, when there
v~s no gas rationing. The Long
Island Railroad today handled 49,
ct passengers, . new record service
Tor any New York track. The
former mark was 1s,416, made on
Memorial Day here last season,
when . record New York crowd OF
S186l was present.
Equipoise himself, deprived OF
three straight metropolitan trl-
umphs due to q disqualification the
third time. hardly could have bet
tered the effort Of his son this aft
ernoon. The colt which arrived
here fresh from a close second to
Whirlaway in the Dixie Handicap
(Whirly is being saved for the Sub
urban) lacked his customary early
dash today. Under the accom-
plished Don Mead's handling, the
New York-owned 4-year-old was
game enough to rally from ninth
place In the first quarter mile.
Attention Goes Around Field.
Ocean Blue, which eaualled a
sprint record in Maryland. set the
pace for more than a half mile,
racing himself and Rosetown into
submission. Best Seller, which Col
z. r. Bradley sold at private terms
to John Galbreath about a week
ago, came from close behind the
leaders to assume brief advantage
around the sweeping bend leading
to the stretch. But Attention had
started his remarkable move.
Charging around the field turn
ing for home, Attention shot into
q three-length lead. Now Pictor
and Market Wise were gaining with
every stride. They cut down the
gap through the final furlong. but
Attention was not to be denied
Reading ID, winner of $4,000 in his
native Australia, never was a factor
In this, his United States debut.
