purchased Silky Sullivan at the
Delmar sales last summer, in
dicated after the race that their
pride will be shipped to Florida
by rain and will start in the
500. 000-added Florida Derby

Shoemaker, whose triumph
on Silky Sullivan today was his
10th of the Santa Anita meet
ing, also is going to Gulf
stream Park next week.
Shoemaker, who rode Mrs,
Elizabeth Arden's Jewels Re-
ward in some Of his top races
last year, had some interesting
comments on Silky's race.
HE laid up a lot closer today
and I never asked him to move, +"
Willie said. HE was just that
much better. All those other
jocks expected me to go around
and I swear that Silky himself
decided on the inside route.
This is a real nice colt and
when you ask him he's there.
He won with a lot left, if you
ask me-"
Boland, Harcall's rider,
said that "all I could see from
the eighth pole to the wire was

sulked under such tactics and
wound up last at to S.
Old Pueblo was allowed to
run today but he couldn't keep
up with Aliwar in the dash to

lengths behind the leader at
this point. and he Jagged some
more until he was 10 back at
the f1ve-eights pole, according
to those assigned in the press
box to chart such items.
Then things began to happen.
Those who had backed Old
Pueblo had no reason for hop
ing because Arcaro couldn't get
anywhere with the son of Windy
City IL. Aliwar was doing his
best. but his cause was hopeless
when the favorite shot through
an opening at the top of the
stretch and was in front in
no time.
