In the Wake of the FIominqo


MIAMI, Mar S-oNLY HORSES WALK gracefully on
q racing strip, which deep even when fast and humans
find themselves picking their way when they track
Especially human in high heels like Mrs Elizabeth Arden
Graham who crossed from the clubhouse at Haeah last
Saturday to the neld to receive the Famingo Trophy
from Gov Leroy Collins of Florida and $97;800
Her colt Jewels Reward already had made the cross
ing, carrying Jockey Manuel Ycaza On the tote board
Jewels RewardNo 3was posted the tentative winner
this 29h classic the better part 10 minutes
the Maine Chance colt the winner. Then, while Mrs.
Graham and the high brass chatted away Haleah
ards took down Jewels Rewards number and made Calu
NETS Tim Tam the winner
Mrs Graham dabbed at her eyes with handkerchief,
although she did not appear to cry The crowd booed the
decision Ycaza, little Panamanian had dmounted and
staiked across the track toward the stewards office
Mrs Graham followed, more slowly. 1t was longer
and less happy trip.
and it shame although Mrs Graham was better able
to survive the setback than most people.
WHAT HAPPENED WAS that in the nine horse
$l350o0 FIago Stakes the two favorite Tim Tam and
Jewels Reward got tangled up all the way down the
stretch To hear Jimmy jones' trainer for Calumet and
of Tim TAM his colt bothered earlier Jewels
Reward coming out horse from the back
stretch" Jones insisted.
TO the Impractical eye it looked If Jewels Reward
and Tim Tam became glued together eighth of mile
from the finish possibly earlier Ycaza, switch hitter,
had to his right inspire his mount he swung
his bat from the left side.
Jewels Reward who had been out only this year
February IL in a 7-furlong allowance-probaby
firing anyway. Every time he hit he bore out and
Rugged closer to Tim TAM who ridden by that youth
full diplomat Willie Hartack AT the finish line Jewels
Reward made final effort and wound up head in front
Ali sorts people speculated what might happen
In the inner Sanctum when the films viewed Appar
emily good many were anti-Calumet judging from the
boos when Jewels Rewards number was taken down.
Just like baseball fans might be anti-Yankee if 2-1
decision in favor Of the White sox Senator's would be
reversed.
THE RUN DOWN the stretch was reminiscent of the
1888 Kentucky Derby respects Remember Brokers
Tip and Head Play? Remember Don Meade and Herb
Fischer?
They came barreling down the stretch side by SIDE
swinging at each other with their whips and holding onto
each others saddle cloths Both probably should have
been disqualified but disqualicaon in revered races
are not common.
Some people who we're cutching tickets Jewels
Reward felt reasonably confident that mite of inter-
ference in $13500 would be overlooked But Jewels
Rewards behavior must have been obvious, because pre-
cious few 100000 have been marked by dsquali
hcations
It has happened of course Not too long ago flly
of Calumets, Miz Cementine, seemed to have finished
first at Santa Anita Her number taken down. BY
coincidence, no doubt Calumet hasn't raced at Santa
Anita since that occasion.
IN DIFFERENCE TO the booing by the public, Gov.
Collins presented the trophy belaedy Mrs Gene Markey
in the privacy of the Hiaeah directors This
good place any, and the crowd, quoted down and
worried about the next race had only to wonder if there
was Kentucky Derby winner in the Flamingo.
Some Derby winners have come out Of the Flamingo
you know For instance Lawrin in 1885, Citation in 1948
Count Turf in 1851 and Needles in 1886 Count Turf fin
ished fifth in the Famingo but he the Derby And
Everett Clay whose business it is to push his Haleah
track also points out that Bold Ruler Nashua Oil Capitol
Olympia Brevity and Blue Man went to the post for this
event.
Whether any great light thrown the 3-year-old
picture is doubtful Tim Tam and Jewels Reward very
close 1t would appear Nadr can't be disregarded after
finishing fourth behind Talent Show on the West Coast
there is Silky Sullivan and to make matters
fsing previously unbeaten Old Pueblo last Thurs
day in an allowance race after eight triumphs
You never can tell about horses Messrs. Conn
McCreary and Eddie Acaro will attest week before the
Flamingo they riding in the okeechobeen and trail
ing so badly that McCreary shouted:
ANY good 3-year-olds in California, Eddie?"
"Better'n what I'm riding" Arcaro said.
McCreary nourshed his sword-the whip.
Last one home buys dinner at. Shor's" he yelled.
