S GROWING A BIT WEARY Of Silky Sullivan? OF Tim
Tam? II So why not dwell a moment on Lincoln RoadP
This is the almost" colt of SO far He is to Tim Tam
what jamie X. used to be to Native Dancer.
Jamie X. forever seemed to be chasing The Dancer
Tomorrows Preakness will be the years third meeting
between Tim Tam Lincoln Road In the other two-he
Florida Derby and the Kentucky Derby-Lncoln Road led
Tim Tam inside the sixteenth pole only to lose on each
occasion by half length.
If Lincoln Road isn't discouraged by now the colt by
With Pleasure Efficiency just might turn the tables in
Pmlico annual rye-andcrab cakes picnic Nor should he
be dsmayed In the Florida Derby Lincoln Road seemed to
have Caumets Jimmy licked until he SHE'D at the starting
gate at the eighth pole.
Inthe Kentucky Derby, which is sixteenth of mile
longer than the Preakness Tim Tam didn't pass Lincoln
Road until inside the 40-yard line That is hardly dis
graceful pair of performances by Isaac Bumbergs colt
who went of at rs to in the Florida extravaganza and
nearly AZ to in the Kentucky classic.
, OBVIOUSLY. LINCOLN ROAD will be no such long:
shot tomorrow but If he should happen win his hackers
will get back than what they put up The chalk will
be on Tim Tam, naturally with Jewels Reward Noureddin
and Silky getting plenty of backing
Old Pemblicoe, as the English liked to call the ancient
oval is made for the likes of Lincoln Road The are
tight and Of maneuverability is a definite asset
Lincoln Road is speed horse and except for shying at
Gufseam Park he hasn't been noted for stayng on the
track, which is more than be said for Tim Tam
All OF winch Is by way OF trying to knock down Cau-
NETS handsome son Of Tom Foo-Two Lea. This is not
easy Regardless of how close the finishes Tim Tam usually
manages to win He's got row now including
three events and looks very much as If
ne can do everythngrun with the speed horses and go
distance.
Even the Jones boys-Papa Ben and Son Jimmy-have
become publicly enhused the newest star they've
trained for Calumet Usually when speaking aloud of their
horses, Ben and Jimmy free with qualifications But
the other day in Baltimore when Ben pronounced Tim
Tam h he expressed himself in manner unusual for the
veteran trainer
"THE COLT is READY to go any distance" Ben told
Charlie Johnson who beats the kettles for Pmico Hes
mt to run to -. to =" He CROPPED
las far as the nearest body water?" johnson cued
And have something left for swmmin'" Jones drawled
Isaac Bumberg, retired 7lyear-old manufacturer of
heavy machinery who has been in racing for about 10
years. is hardly hardship Nonetheless Tim Tams
two half-length victories Lincoln Road cost him
plenty Some of it he get back because this
Preakness will be of the a-tme richest It's worth
$l2o50 before horse steps the track And for each
horse in the race add 81 OO0
Blumberg is from Chicago and Miami Beach and there
is Lincoln Road in both cities In Louisville recently
Brownie Leach of the Churchill Downs STAFF had been
asked how the colt got his name

replied, emitting details.
