Nashua Now Has Company

AROUND THESE DIGG1NGs, the big horse of the
week is, of course, Bowie's John B. Campbell Memorial
Handicap. But within been that
frightened the 3yearod picture to such extent that it
reasonable to the Kentucky Derby Preakness
Belmont and other richly rewardng may
the classic.
Ironically both winners of these reputed to be
ailing horses not many weeks in Florida Leave
begin with Boston Doge, who winning his ninth in
last Saturday in the Experimental at Jamaica
Hialeah the northern outskirts of Miami unbeaen
Boston Doge given the full treatment by the tracks
publicity department before increasingly sgn
Faingo Stakes At long last the lowcast Cinderella
colt to get crack at Nashua, who the eventual
winner and who Sto5 to win the Kentucky Derby
in the Caliente future book.
Hell go" Trainer Frank Andolino was said to have
promised the Haeah folks until the eleventh hour when
Boston Doge declared The checkers did not
prsed Watching the colt in his works they readily sub
the stories that he $50 pounds underwegt
and peaked
WAS, PERHAPS, good thing Boston Doge didn't
in the Faingo because he almost surely would have been
beaten by Nashua, who other things is better bred
for route.
And there is Summer Tan The tip out that
John Galbreaths charger bedded nearby Gulf
Park had pounds which approximately
fifth of what normal thoroughbred weighs Summer TAM
naturally wasn't entered in the Famingo, and the day
who belonged the press box but who also
has owned few horses of his said:
II don't think Summer Tan will again. That's
what hear"
The matter promptly referred to Mrs. Galbreaths
stable and crisp denial was forthcoming to wit:
There's nothing wrong with Summer Tan at this time
He's good and maybe better. Wait and see"
Last Monday at Jamaica, Summer Tan won something
called the Sprngboard Allowance by IA lengths He didn't
beat much perhaps but when horse wins by IA lengths in
any kind field got merit consideration The future
book operators Immediately cut his price from to to to
THERE ARE PURIsTs in the racing game who will not
Doge seriously possibly their ultimate chagrn
fact there's his questionable breeding plus what
has appeared to be nverystabe handling of the colt plus
the short distances that he's far All these things have
influenced critics
Good as he was in the Experimentaand it was the best
field he's ncked-Boston Doge still hasn't gone mile. Six
furlongs short of the Kentucky Derby distance On
the other hand, Summer Tan stuck into meanda-
sixteenth in that Sprngboard Allowance and this long
stridng Gabreath colt made it in 1:442s, eased up.
Summer you know Is the colt that gave Bear Studs
Nashua hard time last year, although Nashua three
out Of four from hma in photo finishes Summer Tan
with authority in the Cowdn Stakes at Aqueduct Later
Nashua got back at his archriva In the priced Belmont
Fuurity The cold evidence that Summer Tan is at and will
ing again certainly complexities the picture short it's going
to be breeze for Nashua in the coming glamour events
THE MAN TO TALK to would seem to be Eric Guerin,
gaunt rider from Louisiana who garnished Native Dancer
during his practically all winning Guern the
mount Boston Doge last Saturday in the Experimental and
Monday he astride Summer Tan
uerin was lavish in his praise Of Summer Tan and
ingy niggardly with the when it time to rate
Boston Doge No public speaker Eric Withdrew his horns
Doge but piled with queries concerning
Tan he said, for the record
This is OF the real good horses. It was pleasure
TO ride him hope ride him again."
This is the guy. remember who rode Native Dancer
