best in his long career.

trainer sent out five winners
including Gloria's Dream, who
won both heats of the $5,545
Reading Futurity for 2-year-
old fillies. The feat never has
been equaled at Laurel by a

The 265-pound Carolinian,
heaviest trainer-driver in har-

the five winning horses from
his barn, Tipperary ($4.40) in
the fifth race. For his other
four winners he put his con-
