to illness, returned to the scene
Of his greatest triumph today
when he met IL other horses in
the rs, O0O-added Delaware Valley
Stakes at Garden State Park.
The speedy son of Polynesian
nosed out Federal Hill in the
$3l9,2l0 Garden State Stakes
worlds richest horse race-at
the Camden, N. j.. track last
october. The victory gave him
the votes for the 2-year-olc
title, and made him the early
choice for the Kentucky Derby.
He suffered a coughing attack
during the winter in Florida
however, and 1t knocked him
Iout Of training for a time. Mean
while, Calumet gave its atten-
ton to Gen. Duke and Iron
ILiege in the 3-year-old races
Gen. Duke finished second to
Bold Ruler in the Flamingo at
Hialeah, then reversed that
order in the Florida Derby at
lGulfstream. Iron Liege finished
third in both of those 100000
races.
Then Gen. Duke was forced
out of the Kentucky Derby last
week, and Iron Liege upset the
applicant by winning.
May Be Ready for Jersey
i Gen. Duke and Iron Liege
are at Baltimore awaiting the
$4,000 Preakness next Satur-
day. but Iron Liege may have
to carry on alone. Even should
Barbizon win the Delaware
ilValley, he could hardly be ex-
pected to be ready for the longer
Preakness. The Delaware is 6
Ifurlongs, while the Preakness Is
a mile and three-sixteenths
Gen. Duke, his bruised foot heal
ing, and Barbizon probably could
be ready for the $4,000 Jersey
Stakes at Garden State May 25
then join up with Iron Liege for
Ia triple-threat assault on the
500. 900 Belmont Stakes in New
York June is.
Eight of the IL in the Della
ware Valley are eligible for the
Preakness: Barbi2on. Bakht
