Blue Man al Belmont
May Be on Way 10
.3-Year-0Id Crown
Speciol Dispatch 10 The Stor

NEW YORK. May 19.-Moving
on to Belmont in his quest of the
3-year-old championship, Arthur
w. Abbott's Blue Man will get a
couple of days rest before point
ing for the 100000 Belmont
Stakes on June 7. The PreakneSs
winner arrived in good condition
and should be ready for the Bel
mont. at 11a miles, the longest of
the Triple Crown races.
Blue Man easily was the class of
the 10-horse field at Pimlico
Saturday and Trainer Woody
Stephens bemoaned the absence
of Hill Gail, the kentucky Derby
winner. Stephens wants another
shot at the Calumet ace and
hopes he is ready to run again in
three weeks.
Could Be Like 1850.
This could be another year like
1850, according to some observers.
Chris Chenery's Hill Prince finally
was accepted as the champion
that year, but the Virginia colt
took two beatings from Middle
ground in the Derby and Belmont.
He won enough stakes after that,
however, to stamp himself as the
best all-around horse Of the crop.
Blue Man supporters believe their
candidate has the same strain Of
speed and stamina. ~
Blue Man has ample time to
prove himself. There are such
races as the Arlington Classic and
American Derby at Chicago, both
100000 affairs, and the Dwyer
at Aqueduct and Yankee Handi-
leap at Suffolk Downs, worth $50,-
900 each. If the Abbott color
bearer could cop a couple of these,
he'd be in. Blue Man already has
earned $178,785, a nice return on
the $4,000 paid for him last year.
His earning capacity at this time
seems bright for he is a good
sound animal.
Stephens pride and joy could
run into trouble if some of the all
ing 3-year-old stars get back
into action. Windy City II. con.
