running for Willie Shoemaker,
sixth; Harbor View Farms Quiz
Star a collapsing seventh;
Brookfield Farms Intentionally

After a perfect start, Bally

Ussery, with Bill Hartack right
after him with Intentionally
First Landing and Quiz Star
were also close by as they
passed the packed stands for
the first time.
Intentionally in Front
Intentionally took over the
lead around the clubhouse turn
but Ussery was pacing Bally
Ache after a first quarter in
1925. Bally Ache easily regained
the advantage on the back
stretch as Joe Culmone moved
Quiz Star close to the paceset-
ter.
Intentionally began faltering
with three-eighths Of a mile to
go as both T. v. Lark. who was
next to last just ahead Of
Sword Dancer. began his chal-
lenge. Arcaro also had Sword
Dancer rolling at this point.
AS they turned into the home
stretch. Bally Ache led Quiz
Star by a head but General
Arthur was close by and the
Irish-bred Stratus, swinging to
the far outside, also looked like
a serious threat.
An eighth of a mile from
home, Bally Ache still led by a
head over Quiz Star, with Gen.
eral Arthur third, T. v. Lark
fourth and Sword Dancer a
flying seventh. Suddenly Quiz
Star collapsed and T. v. Lark,
pouring it on, took the lead just
before the sixteenth pole.
Sword Dancer made a GAL
liant effort as he ran over them
all except T. v. Lark, who had
no difficulty turning back the
1859 horse Of the year.

a string which included the
Arlington Classic, American

far turn and then took to the
outside and he responded as I
thought he would"
Paul Parker. personable 38-
year-old trainer who was intro
duced to Eastern racing two
years ago as the groom for
Silky Sullivan, was equally en-
thusiastic.
Il am certainly thrilled. Just
where he goes next will be de-
termined by the way he comes
out Of this race, but we have
next weeks Woodward Stakes
in mind" Parker said.
Later Owner Mccoy indicated
he would be glad to have T. V.
Lark race in the Washington,
D. c., International at Laurel
November II if an invitation
is Forthcoming.
T.V. Lark, in making his first
Eastern start since he ran last
to Bally Ache in the Preakness,
added $65,0O0 to his rapidly ad-
vancing bankroll, The 3-year-
old colt, purchased for $4,000,
now has earned $381,900 this
season, winning nine of 10
starts.
For the hackers of Bally
Ache, it was a disappointing
day, although the syndicated
3-year-old. making his first
non-exhibition start since suf =
fering an ankle injury last May,
was far from disgraced under
his 122-pound assignment.
The nine-race program, run
of in cool but pleasant weather.

darkness not far away. Betting

that of United Nations Day last
year.
