SUPERIOR BEAUTY-Here's one advantage you
can spot as far as you can see! Pontiac's smart
combination of Twin-Streaked hood and Vogue
~1wo-loning is generally acknowledged to be the
major style advance of the year.
SUPERIOR PERFoRMANeE-The Strato-S Streak va,
too, sets this car apart from any other. 1t is the
ndustry's most modern engine-flled with
"hrsts" that pay off in 2O0-horsepower* action
and the greatest thrift in Pontiac history.
SUPERIOR sIzE-There's 124 or 122 inches of
roadleveling wheelbase under Pontiac's spacious
Body by Fisher. And that means a solid sense
OF security not surpassed by any car.
sUPERIoR HANDLING ~EAsE-There's extra security,
too, in the lightning response of Pontiac's brakes,
steering and acceleration. Even parking is a
pleasure with action like this.

Worlds Richest Filly

self, climactic event in Delaware
i Parks quarter-million dollar Dis
taft Big Three series coming up at
the current meeting-whieh begins
with the Delaware Oaks June 18th
and has the week-later new" New
Castle for the middle gem. The lat
| ter is now major prep for the
Delaware Handicap, which this sea-
son succeeds the "old" New Castle
as the worlds richest distaff stake.
The New Castle, or newly-named
Delaware, has been run II times
and a three-year-old was victorious
five times. The most recent was
Grecian Queen in 1868, and that
triumph helped her to earn the
championship of her sex in that
year.
Belmont Parks big distaff stake,
the mile and a half Ladies Handi-
cap, offers more solid evidence that
female racers four years old and
upward have no monopoly on dis
tance handicaps. Since that fixture
became a 12-furlong test in 1910,
three-year-olds entered the win
ner's circle IL times-and they pre-
vailed over older aces on IL con-
secutive occasions from 1910
through 1850.
A glance at the record total of
156 nominations for the Delaware
Handicap provides proof that own
ers of sophomore fillies no longer
have the old fear of older race
mares. No less than 81 of those
nominees are three-year-olds
Ordinarily, it may be hard for a
sophomore filly to beat a mare.
but that can be offset in a handi-
cap like the Delaware when a
young horse gets a weight pull
against older racers. The five
three-year-old winners of Del
aware's big event in the past car
ried from 108 to ia pounds, and
some heavily weighted older stars
have been we'll beaten.
