BETTING BOOMING
AT HIALEAH PARK

MIAMI. Fla, Feb. 12-tRATiny
Ted Atkinson booted Woolford
FARMS Silvestra to narrow VIC
tory in the $1,000 Black Helen
Handicap at Hialeah Park today
bringing the grey mare from the
brink of defeat with rouslng
stretch ride.
But the game six-year-old cam
paigner had to share the cheers
of the crowd of 1892 with Ella
K. Bryson's Director ]. E., a fast
moving colt which added to his
ranking as an advance Kentucky
Derby possibility with an easy
triumph in a secondary race.
Hialeah had new betting rec
ord for the second straight Sat
urday and a second million dol
lar day. The parimutuel handle OF
1,O16,797 topped last Saturday
S1.005, 527 mark.
Isaac Bieber's Moon Maiden ac-
tually headed Silvestra in the
sprint for home in the Black Hell
en-. but Atkinson rallied the firing
thoroughbred and urged her to a
head triumph. Five lengths behind
Moon Maiden was Mrs. E. H. Au-
gustus Fiddlers Bit, while the
favored Wise Moss wound up
fourth.
Silvestra finished second to Cal
umet Farms Markell two weeks
ago in the Evening Handicap, the
only other big Hialeah stake for
fillies and mares. With Markell
on the sidelines today, Silvestra
simply refused to be beaten by
other members of her sex.
The prices across the board on
the winner were $6.40, $3.50 and
$3.50. Moon Maiden paid $3.50 and
$3.50. and Fiddlers Bit returned
$3.50.
Silvestra's time of 1852 is for
the mile and one-eighth was four
seconds slower than the track
record.
Director J. E., equine name
sake of Director John Edgar Hoov-
err of the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation, was beaten by older
horses earlier this week in his
first start of the year.
But against six other three-year-
olds today he showed to real adj
vantage, staying out front all the
way and coasting over the SIX
I, furlong course in 1:12 Is. The
colt was a $500 for 81 favorite
to win, and returned $2.7O ano
81 40 to place and show.
Grant Thorn's Fire Sticky fin
ished second, four lengths behind
Director J. E. but a good half
length in front of another Ken
lucky Derby possibility, A. C.
