Mail Order
Wins Opener
Al GuIfsfrean1

MIAMI, Mar. 4 (AP).-Ala-
mode Farms Mail Order led all
the way in the $17,375 Magic
City Handicap and won by
three-fourths of a length be-
fore a record opening crowd Of
24,08l at Gulfstream Park to-
day.
Mail Order, under 113 pounds,
with Herbert Hinojosa In the
saddle, ran the mile and 70
yards in 1:41 over a fast track.
Edgehill Farms Exaltado was
second and George D. Widener's
Udaipur finished third in the
10-hourse field.
Mail Order was favored in
the betting and paid $3.50, $4.20
and $3.50. Exaltado returned
$14.30 and $40, while show
price on Udaipur was $3.50.
After the first four came
Micarlo, in fifth place and a
dead heat between Better Bee
and Eurasia for sixth. Then
came Little Tytus, Greek Star
and Couvier Relic.
Greek Star, seeking his fifth
straight, carried top weight Of
1913 pounds and dropped out of
contention after the first half
mile. He had won two races
at Hialeah and two at Fair
grounds earlier this winter and
was second chioce in the Magic
City at So.
Mail Order, owned by Modie
Spiegel Of Chicago, is a 5-year-
old black gelded son of One
Count, out Of Bibjan by
Bahram. He had finished first
and third in two racse at Hia-
leah last month and earned
$l0,375 from the gross purse of
S17,375. This booted his win
nings to s17,24O. Last year he
won four of Is races and
earned $55,345.
This horse has a big heart
and ran a good race" Hinojosa
said. HE tired a little in the
late stages and tried to drift
out but continued on pretty
well under pressure. This is
probably just about as far as
he wants to co."
Trainer Larry Thompson said
Mail Order may make his next
start in New York.
The opening day crowd broke
the old record of 23,s64, set
on March 8, 1856. Opening day
turnout last year, on a Thurs
day, was 20,960.

(AP). - Bowl of Flowers, 9
Brookmeade Stable filly who
could Shatter an old Churchill
Downs record, was included
today among 155 thoroughbred
nominated for the 87th renewal
of the Kentucky Derby.
The $125, 5,000-added classic,
to be run May 6 at a mile and
a quarter also attracted one
other filly, Plum Cake, from
Calumet Farm.
If either should enter the
winners circle, she would be the
first to do so since Regret in
1915. Silver Spoon, the last
filly to accept the challenge,
finished fifth in 1859.
Calumet, owner Of seven
Derby trophies, named four
colts-Beau Prince, Sho Lea,
Orazio and Outrigger.

Calumet Farm broke its
Bowie jinx yesterday, when Sun
Clint walloped six filly and
mare rivals in romping to an
easy victory in the SGT $50 Bar
bara Fritchie Handicap before
20,905 fans in a light drizzle
yesterday.
With Jockey Johnny Sellers
engineering her rally from last
place to a three and one hall
length victory in the mile
race, Sun Clint provided Calu-
met with its first victory ever
at the Bowie track. The easy
score delighted a majority ir
the largest turnout of the
Maryland season for they had
made Sun Clint an even money
favorite.
Chasing the four-year-old
Calumet miss to the wire was
the entry of James A. Bayard's S
Cherry Flip and Alfred T. Tay-
lor's Miss Orestes, which fin
ished two, three. But Jockey
Sellers could easily have made
Sun Glint's winning margin
much more. He folded up
on his running mount so yards
from the finish.
Sun Clint, who arrived at
Bowie only Thursday after a
flight from Miami, paid $500,
$3.50 and $2.40 across the board.
The entry returned $3.50 third,
more to show than the $3.40
in the second slot.
Bowie Gets Big Week End
The lure Of the Calumet silks
plus the phenomenally success
full Sellers helped to provide
Bowie's long sought after big
week end. Betting totale d
$1,771,243, by far the largest
wagering total for the weather.
marred meeting.
In the Barbara Fritchie, run
at the little used mile distance,
Sun Clint was shuffled back to
the last at the clubhouse turn
but this did not seem to worry
Jockey Sellers. Cherry Flip set
the pace, under the light
weight of 106 pounds, with her
stablemate second.
Halfway down the back
stretch, Sellers began moving
the devils red silks Of Calumet
on the outside. Around the
far turn, Sun Clint was gaining
with each stride and at the
quarter pole it was evident that
the Sun Again filly was Just
about to wrap up her first
stakes triumph.
Sun Clint, who carried 116
pounds. four less than the top
weighted Miss Orestes, drew off
out of reach at the sixteenth
pole as Sellers saved his mount
through the final yards.
Victory Worth $17,712
In recording her first tri-
umph since last fall at Garden
State, Sun Clint picked UP a
winners share Of $17,712. She
ran the mile in 1:40h over the
footing termed good" by the
chartmakers despite the light
rain which began early in the
afternoon.

Social Security
Benefit Claims
Show Rise

Nearly 100000 applications
for benefits have been received
since Pres. Kennedy signed into
law on June 80 the 1861 amend
merts to the Social Security
Act, Sec. Of Health, Education
& Welfare Abraham Ribicoff
told q press conference in Wash
ington. They poured in at the
rate of more than 10000 a week
in July and August, he said,
compared with $4,000 to 10000
a week previously.
Approximately 1877 500 of
them came from men in the 81
to 81 age group-and their de-
pendents - who are retiring
early because of unemployment
or poor health under new pro-

fits: the amendments reduce the

amount that older workers, wild

fits can earn and still collect
part of their benefits.
Widows now getting benefits
on the basis of their own work,
who may qualify for higher am

Gore informed the Senate that
the Presidents Council of Eco

quarter profits, after the wage
raise becomes effective and
without a price increase, could
