Leonard Ties Palmer in Masters;
Easy Spur Captures Florida Derby
TroiIus Lost
In Stake at
GuIfstreun
BY WHEELER JOHNSON
Star stan Writer

MIAMI, Fla, April Aim
Norris Easy Spur. spurred on
by Bill Hartack's whip, came
charging through Gulfstream
Parks stretch today to snatch
victory in the $116,400 Flor
ida Derby away from Sword
Dancer, who had held a two
length lead almost to the 10th
pole.
1t was a tough loss for Jock
ey Sammy Boulmetis on the
Brookmeade Stable colt, for he
was trying to wrap up his third
win in a 100000 race on three
straight week ends. The Balti-
more rider had won the Gulf
stream Handicap March 81 and
the John B. Campbell Handicap
at Bowie last Saturday. each
time on the fleet Vertex.
But once Hartack got the
nose Of the Spring Hill Farm
colt in front, he almost coasted
the rest of the way home, to
the delight of the 24,246 fans
who turned out on this warm,
sunny day and made Easy Spur
a 9-to-l0 favorite for the mile
and-one-eighth race.
Near World Mark
Easy Spur was timed over a
fast track in 1:47hs, only two
fifths of a second over the track
record set by Gen. Duke in the
1857 Florida Derby. Gen. Dukes
time had equaled a world rec
ord held jointly by Swaps, Moor
and Alidon. Easy Spur has
never been defeated in five
starts at Gulfstream Park.
At the finish, Master Pa
lynch, winner of the Louisiana
Derby but a 38-to-1 shot to-
day, was in third place. nine
full lengths behind Sword
Dancer, but another length in
front of The Chosen One, a
ALL outsider himself. The rest
of the field was strung out,
with TroiluS, the second choice,
dead last.
1t was the third successive
Florida Derby triumph for
Jockey Hartack, who followed
up his 1857 score on Gen. Duke
with a victory on Tim Tam last
year.

AUGUSTA. Ca, April A.
Arnold Palmer turned back the
clock in the third round of the
Masters tournament today,
holing another downhill birdie
putt on the 18th green to tie
for the 54-hole lead just as he
did a year ago. III
Last year Palmer ratified the
back Of the cup with a birdie
three to tie Sam Snead, and
today he eased in a 10-footer
before a national television
audience to deadlock Canada's
Stan Leonard with a 212 total,
four under par for 81 holes
at Augusta National. n
Palmer's birdie salvaged a II
on a day when his irons were
not sharp. and actually it was
a pretty fortunate II. Thirty
minutes earlier Leonard, the
flrst-round leader, fired his
second SO in three days for
his 212.
Middlecoff, Coe on Heels
They were not safe, as O
familiar challenger, Cary Mid
dlecoff, still was on the course.
But Middlecof settled for pars
on the last two holes for a
four-under-par So and 213, one
stroke back.
Last year at this point Pal
mer and Snead were 211 and
Middleton was 212. All three
went over par in the final
round, but Palmer won his first
Masters with a 70 while Mid
dlecoff went to rs and Snead
to 70.
The only other player within
three strokes of the co-leaders
