Round Table reneWS MS
"horse Of the year" rivalry with
Sword Dancer and ten 2-year-
olds run less than 2 minutes for
$283,075 today in a pair Of
racing naturals.
Round Table goes against
Sword Dancer in the 500, 1000
added Jockey Gold Cup at
Aqueduct, minus his regular
jockey, as he tries to avenge
the whipping Sword Dancer,
best of the 3-year-olds, gave
him a month ago.
California-bred Warfare is
the 8-to-5 favorite in the rich
Garden State Stakes, the turf's
richest race of the year and the
third richest of all time. It's
been topped only by two previ-
GUS trimmings of the same event.
Over $5OO,OOO at Stake
Together with the $4,000
added Selma Stakes at Laurel,
the $25, 000-added Golden Gate
Handicap at Golden Gate
Fields. and the $25,000-added
Colony Stakes at Lincoln
Downs, the days major purses
aggregate close to half a million
dollars.
Round Table, the all-time
money winner with $1,727,749,
is in the unusual position of
being a slight underdog to
Sword Dancer, who whipped
racing's moneybags handily in
the Woodward Stakes at Aque-
duct September 26. Another
victory for the Brookmeade
Stable ace would probably gain
him horse of the year honors
over Round Table.
Seven others are entered in
the Gold Cup and whether one
of them runs-Tudor Era
holds the answer to who rides
Round Table. Willie Hartack
gets the job if the weather
comes up clear as expected and
Tudor Era, at his best in the
mud. is scratched. If it rains
and the track becomes sloppy
there's a chance Round Table
will be withdrawn.
Shoemaker on TompiOn
Round Tables regular jockey
Willie Shoemaker, is sticking tt
an earlier commitment to ride
c. V. Whitney's Tompion, the
second choice, in the Garden
State Stakes. Sword Dancer
who'll carry 119 to 124 fol-
Round Table, will be ridden by
Eddie Arcaro.
