Weil also may give up quarters at the Lexington course provided they can be accommodated here. The crack tworyear-old filly Oddesa Beu-lah, and five others belonging to the Oddesa Farms arrived here Wednesday from Oak-lawn Park. The others were Oddesa Girl, Oddesas Pride, Oddesa Billy, Imperial Polly and Jay Bee Jay. A big division of this stable has been at Churchill Downs for some time.

It includes Teddy Haslam, Lassies Mary, Westys Hero and Semester. Jim Gass also shipped Just Frank from Oaklawn Park. Stuart Vail was one of the latest jockeys to put in an appearance at Churchill Downs. Mose Goldblatt is expected from Cincinnati to take over the training of the stable he has at Churchill Downs.
