WILLIAM WOODWARD SILKS May Be Carried for Third Straight Year in 0,000 Added Classic. Owner of Belair Stud Names Four for Arlingtons Richest Race W. M. Jefford Entries First. The white and red spotted silks that Gallant Fox carried to a hard-fought victory in the second Classic by Gallant Fox may be represented for the third year straight in the 1932 renewal of Arlington Parks 0,000 added attraction for three-year-olds, as William Woodward, owner of Belair Stud and chairman of The Jockey Club, has made four nominations to the mile and a quarter special. Two of these entries, Pardee and Faireno, made their mark in juvenile racing last season, and are Mr. Woodwards main dependents in their class for this year. Pardee, like Gallant Fox, is a son of Sir Gallahad III., and as his dam is Medora II., he is a half-brother to Little Chief, one of the most prominent distance runners in the country a few years back. He completed a carefully planned campaign last season by finishing third behind Faireno and Lucky Tom in the Junior Champion, a mile race at Aqueduct, which fell to Gallant Fox in 1929. Previously he accounted for the Oakdale Claiming Handicap, in which he took the measure of Waylayer, Allenfern, Uncanny, Brandon Mint and Flying .Don, all stakes winners but the first named; the Babylon Handicap, in which he led home Cambal, Fall Apple, Lucky Tom, The Bull and others, and the Chamber of Commerce Stakes at the New York State Fair. His maiden triumph was accomplished at the expense of a good field at Saratoga. Faireno, a son of Chatterton and Minerva, also concluded his two-year-old racing in the Junior Champion, which he won after overtaking Lucky Tom, now the most talked of three-year-old at New Orleans.

They were boatswain, a son of Man o War and Baton, end Slave Ship, a colt by Black Toney, from Lightship. Neither horse has ever started, being saved for three-year-old racing by trainer Burch and "his predecessor, Scott Harlan. Boatswain is almost identically bred like Son o Battle, a Man o War horse with many stakes to his credit. In addition to having the honor of being the first nominator to the Classic, which will be the highlight of the thirty-day Arlington meeting, starting June 27, and running through July 30, Mr. Jeffords also was the first to make entries last year for the Arlington Futurity and Arlington Lassie Stakes, which will be juvenile features of the entire Chicago racing season.
