Radio Charm, Mrs. Emil Denemarks good son of Jean Lafitte, which was a factor in Florida racing and is eligible for the Moslem Temple Stakes, became the first victor to be saddled by Frank Gilpin when he was an easy and popular winner of the Preparation Purse, Detroits main attraction this afternoon. Ridden by Sidney Hebert, who also recently joined the Denemark stable, Radio Charm set his own pace, raced through the muddy going in the creditable time of 1:01 and reached the end of five furlongs two and, a half lengths before J.

Linas Son was third, a half length back of Jadva and six lengths before Late Day.
