ATLANTIC CITY, N. j.. Sept.
|i4.--Kerr Stables Round Table.
with q glittering string Of seven
straight victories behind him
was facing what looked like the
toughest race Of his brilliant
3-year-old season today In the
100000 United Nations In
vitational Handicap, Atlantic
City's exclusive grass classic.
This seashore track was ex-
pecting about $4,000 horse fans
for its late summer extrava-
ganza, and with q hand-picked
field Of IL awaiting the post
call everyone was anticipating
one Of the most exciting con-
tests Of the year.
Millions more were due to
watch the mile and three-six-
teenths race on television. CHS
had scheduled q half hour ma
tional television show from the
track from $3.50 with post
time set for 5:lo pm.
washington will see part
Of this telecast. WTOP,
Channel 9, will break into the
Pick Temple program at zap
proximately" sis pm. to
present the race itself.)
For Round Table, assigned
i18 pounds. it was q question
Of proving that he could run
just as fast in the East Is he
did in the West. The smallish
son Of Prince Quillo and
Knights Daughter was due to
open at 8 to 5 and there was
q chance that he might wind
UP odds-on when the wager
ing ends.
Willie Shoemaker. who has
been Round Tables saddle
companion in most Of his vic
tories this year. will ride again
today. Most observers believe
that Shoemaker will break his
colt on top from the outside
No. IL post and try to stay
close to the pace. If not on top
all the way.
The Round Table camp, in
GLIDING Trainer Willie Molter,
were leary about the weather
prediction Of scattered show
ers. Molter wants a firm,
springy turf-California style
for his colt who won i've
straight stakes In the West be-
fore running away with the
American Derby in Chicago.
A hot sun and s0-degree
temperatures dried out the
rain-soaked grass course nicely
yesterday and 1t looked very
much like Round Table would
get the footing to his liking.
What was Round Tables pie
was cold cabbage for his top
weighted rival, Career Boy,
Cornelius v. Whitney's 4-year-
old stakes star. with l23 pounds
up. was seeking his second
straight triumph in the United
Nations. Oddly enough he has
not won q race since that
gloomy September afternoon
when Swaps took his famous
rain check. disappointing thou
sands here.
Round Table. q prospective
millionaire. with earnings Of
$424, $50 already this season.

teau by pocketing the winners
