Alloy Takes
Select Cop

OCEANPORT, N. j., June 20
(AP).-Jaclyn's Stables Alloy,
the beaten favorite in the Long
Branch Stakes earlier in the
Monmouth Park meeting, made
amends here yesterday in the
10th running Of the 6-furlong
Select Handicap for 3-year-
olds.
The odds-on favorite of a
crowd of 1901 and ridden
confidently by Howard Grant,
Alloy took command in the
first sixteenth of a mile, held
a daylight advantage into the
home stretch and then turned
back late bids by Colonial
Farms Accordant and Darby
Farms Ornamento.
At the wire, Alloy was half
a length clear Of Accordant,
who closed stoutly along the
rail to nose out Ornamento.
Alloy was clicked in 1895
under top weight Of l27 pounds,
only four-fifths Of a second
off the track record Of 1:082s,
set in 1857 by Decathlon and
equalled in 1861 by Primonetta.
Alloy paid $3.50. Although
there were six starters, there
was no show betting.

After working some six weeks
in rounding up not only a
respectable but outstanding
field for the race, 1t appeared
that all was lost. One couldn't
detect this from Herman's
calm. detached manner. The
means could be attributed to
an upset stomach. A guy wrings
his hands simply for exercise
and tears his hair to prove

to have a little too much speed
for their rivals, there's room
for an upset. Whoever wins it
will have to show his best foot,
no pun intended, and a new
track record could be the
result.
Certainly none of the seven
horses entered will have it as
soft as Eclair, a 3-year-old
filly who'll be handled by Lou
Pullen in the Reading Futurity
for fillies her age. Eclair will
go to the post at tbs and is a
cinch to pocket the $4,015.60
purse. She's such a sure thing
the track won't let you bet
against her.
She's the only horse entered.
