First Stakes Win SOUGHT
By Bokht at Laurel Todoy
BY JOSEPH b. KELLY
Star Racing Editor

Mrs, Walter M. Jefford's
Bakht. a non-Derby eligible but
a Preakness and Belmont Stakes
hopeful, figures to be the 8-to-5
favorite in the revived $4,000
Chesapeake Trial today at
Laurel with 10000 fans expected
to see him run.
Although the lightly raced
Bakht never has won a stakes,
the colt indicated by a come
from-behind sprint victory at
Laurel opening day that he
should handle his seven rivals
with comparative ease.
Jockey Tony DeSpirito will
ride Bakht, who gets in. the g.
furlong dash with liz pounds.
Two Stakes Winners
High weight of 124 pounds will
be shared by the only two stakes
winners in the field, Mrs. John
T. Maloney's Soft Day and the
Carolyn K. Stables Pro-Brandy.
Soft Day won a division of the
Marlboro Nursery last season
and Pro-Brandy the Pimlico
Nursery.
Second choice, however. may
be the entry of Cross Channel
and Four Fathems, owned by
Howell E. jackson. Cross Chan
mel won his only start. that at
Laurel. and Four Fathoms cap
tured two races last year.
Six Of the starters in today's

days $4,000 Chesapeake Stakes

Bakht. the Howell entry, Pro-
Brandy and Soft Day. Arthur
H. Bowen's Strong Point, also

Sixth Race Cited
Laurel came up with its best
balanced program of its spring
meeting for the second Saturday
program. and perhaps a more
interesting race than the Trial
for the betting public is the sixth,
an allowance event at three
quarters. named the All States
Purse. which attracted several
stakes runners in the 14-horse
field.
Brookfleld Farms Itobe, beaten
favorite in the Capitol Handicap
opening day, is the likely choice,
although Tahiti. Besomer. Will
of Allah and Momus will have
support.
