such eels were landed by Don

at Cedar Creek Pond in Sussex
County. Mr.. Harner has fished
the m a jority of Delaware's
ponds, and these eels are the
largest he has seen. In addition
to the eels, Cedar Creek PonC

Royal Native Looms Favorite in Rich
DeIpark New Castle Stakes Saturday

If you plan to be at Delaware
Park this Saturday, as so many
thousands of racing enthusiasts
do, you'll see a 4-year-old filly
who has proved more valuable
than an entire baseball team in
the Class AAA international
League. Her name is Royal Ma
tive, and she looms favorite for
the rich New Castle Stakes, Sec
ond gem in Delaware Park S
quarter-million dollar Distaff
Big Three series.
Speaking of a quarter-million
dollars, that's what Miami Beach
sportsman William M. MacDon-
aid, Jr., paid in Florida last win
ter for Royal Native-$252, 500,
to be exact. Macdonald also
bought the Miami Martins ball
club around the same time, for
something less than he paid for
Royal Native. At this writing,
the Martins were in last place.
The filly has proved far bet
ter investment than all those
ball players. Just the other day,
Macdonald was quoted as say
ing he expects to lose SIPS, 900
on the Martins this season.
Royal Native this year has earn
ed $l38, 1857, net, with seven vic
tories and two seconds in 10
starts. And, if the expected
happens, she'll be winning her
seventh major stakes race of
the season in Saturdays mile
and a sixteenth New Castle.
True. the fabulous filly has not
yet 'won herself out" for Mac
Donald, but no one would dare
bet she won't, eventually. She
