Evening star., 1953-06-26

y called Princess Lygia tried to lick Hill
Gail and: with 21pound concession made the Calumet
star pull out all stops The result that Hill Gail stepped
off furlongs 1904 left the patrons talking them
selves Hill GAIL wrong after his Derby victory,
remains sound he's the Tom Fool and maybe Native
Dancer will have to about it to picking
important in handicap and weight races
TOM FOOL, A. HANDSOME son of Menow, was scarcely
less sensational in workout at Belmont week tomorrow
when he blaaed furlongs workout the main track
With Atkinson in the saddle Fool cocked in 11O
mont meeting.
ye never seen anything like it," Atkinson said "I kept
good strong hold him to the head of the stretch Then
turned him loose and chrped at him. chirped two
three times did hunch him. didn't regather him,
you do when you want horse to pick up speed"
Six furongs in 1:10 fiat, only fifth of second slower
than the Belmont track record is pretty remarkable under
conditions but particularly when the horse is out there
by himself Atkinson The SlaSher isn't carrying whip.
If Tom Fool who wrong before Hill GAIL also
remains it's going be interesting and fall
Tom Fool hot item 2-year-old and then
into trouble with the result that he didn't show up for the
Derby Hill Gail But now 4year-od, Greentree's
star is doing better than all right Only Native Dancer and
Calumets Mark Ye Well have more money this
than the unbeaten Tom Fool
49,
WHEN AND IF TOM FOOL captures the Carter he will
join exclusive club The Derby Belmont
not constitute the only triple racing There also
is the Metropolitan Suburban and Brooklyn the latter
ing July H. and Menows pretty little boy take all of
them. The Metropolitan he carrying 130 pounds, and
the Suburban while packing 128 the upcoing Brooklyn
may the United Nations Building on back
still last time this triple
back in 1918, when Whsk Broom II did it,
But this the Carter Handicap coming up tomorrow not
the Brooklyn and John B. Campbell the noted Handicapped
is putting 1875 pounds Fool and that that he
will be giving away much 81 pounds to others. STILL
who to argue with Campbell? In the 1914 Carter he put
18 pounds Wait Bit 1877 Bossuet and 115 Brownie
and the result the only triple dead-heat stake in
American history If Campbel's reputation wasn't made
before it that afternoon.
Sooner later possibly at Saratoga, the gray Native
Dancer is going to be called Fool The Freak
and Belmont winner undeniaby the top 3year-od will
not be asked to dodge the ISSUE according to the evidence
His owner Alfred G. Vanderbilt apparently is anxious
the next person to whether his horse really all
time great.
VANDERBILTS ATTITUDE if correctly interpreted is in
direct variance with that of the late Riddle
pretty good thing going for him in 1920 colt named Man
War Only in his which ended at the age
Man O. War beaten and that by the appropriately
named Upset Yet Riddle Stubbornly refused to pit his
charger against the coorfu and ungainy Exterminator
who many turfmen think may have taken Man o. War.
If Native Dancer is to be sent westward before after
tanging with Tom Fool at Saratoga he'll find himself
target for such Calumet which is sufficient There
only Hill Gail but Mark Ye Well and maybe few others
the barn to test the gray both in Chicago and Hollywood
And Ben JONES' senior trainer for Calumet only likes
have winners but usually does
ALL at least some, of these problems will resolved
in due time Meanwhile there's Fool shooting the
Carter and Hill Gail for the EqupoSe and the glamour kid
Native Dancer enjoying his role horseof far
Failing that, he have to settle for earning than
million bucks in very short time.
