AT THE RACES
With JOE KELLY

pearance under silks at Gulf
stream Park.
Eddie Arcaro, no green hand at
spotting potential stakes win
ners. rode Polly's Jet to his first
triumph at Gulfstream March
"a and told Trainer Downes then
that he would like to ride the
colt in his future races. Arcaro
has been in the saddle for all of
Polly's Jets victories except the
stakes triumph at Garden State
when Willie Hartack handled
the reins.
A native Of West Chester. near
Philadelphia, Downes always has
been interested in horses. his
first concern being with show
horses and hunters. Downes
earned a degree at Penn State
and later worked in Europe and
South America for several large
oil companies at the work for
which he prepared in college.
Bought Calumet Castoffs
After World War II, Downes
bought some Calumet Farm
castoffs and campaigned his own
horses for about six years. He
thought he had enough of thor
oughbreds then and quit the race
track life to re-enter the oil
business.
In 1858 he decided to have
another fling at training and
after some mild success, he took
a longshot chance last October
when he heard the Barclay Sta
BILE needed a trainer.
Downes explains that he called
McShain on the telephone and
surprisingly was granted an in
terview with the busy builder in
Philadelphia. McShain liked
Downes' background and in a
few days the then 46-year-old
trainer found himself with a
stable full of race horses on his
hands.
Next Wednesday afternoon,
Downes expects to appear in
the Delaware Park paddock to
saddle Polly's Jet for the $4,000
ChriStiana Stakes. Arcaro also
is due to be present.
Polly'S Jet will be seeking his
sixth straight and fourth stakes
