BY the Assosiu,sd Press

MIAMI, Fla. Jan. 24.-Hia-
Ileah's big 3-year-old races, once
figured as a duel between Nashua
and Summer Tan, now look more
and more like three-way affairs.
The party of the third part
is, Of course, the sensational Bos-
ton Doge, who Saturday whipped
a good field in the $20,050 Hibis-
Gus Stakes to record his seventh
straight victory without a defeat.
However, the colt is a son Of
The Doge, once good sprinter
and frequent winner In Mary
land. and he has yet to prove
that he can win at distances
longer than 6 furlongs. He'll
get that test next month.
Boston Doge won four races
in succession in 1854 but got
little attention while carrying

meanwhile, was beating Summer
Tan, owned by Mrs. Russell A..
Firestone, three out Of four on

circuit. Nashua wound UP as the
juvenile champion, and Summer
Tan took winning honors
after capturing the heavily
endowed Garden State Stakes.

topped by Summer Tan with 1873,
,one more than Nashua.
But neither of the glamour
horses has done any running yet
in Florida, and BoStone Doge has
done plenty. He won his only
start at Tropical Park. A week
ago today he won a six-furlong
allowance race in 1:09%, only
two-fifths of a second off the
Hileah track record established
the same day by Blessbull, an
older horse.
He looked just as good Satur-
day in taking a promising field
Of II other 3-year-olds. Extended
for the first time in his career,
Boston Doge came whirlin9 of
the stretch turn to win by 3h
lengths. That's q little better
than par for the colt, for his
smallest winning margin has
been three lengths.
Andolino will point him next
for the $25, 900 Everglades Feb
ruary IL. with his main object
