Beaten Only Once in Four Stake Efforts — Forty-Six Horses Named for feature on Saturday. CRETE. 111., June 19.— Through her dead heat for first money with Her Reigh in the Marquette Handicap, following two previous stakes victories here, Manie OHara has established herself the star of the Lincoln fields meeting. Before getting an even break with Her Reigh, this four-year-old daughter of The Satrap, which races for the Louisville tobacco merchants Hyman Fried- berg and Edwin Axton, accounted for the Kankakee and Steger Handicaps, and next Saturday she is scheduled to try for her fourth stakes victory of the meeting. The Lincoln Handicap is the headliner of Saturdays final program and is fashioned for three-year-olds and older horses. It is to be run at a mile and one-sixteenth, a dis- tance that should ideally suit the former Milky Way Farm filly. Manie OHp.ra has : shown herself equally adept on fast foot- ing as well as on off tracks, and regardless of racing conditions she is almost certain i to rule one of the choices. HEADS ELIGD3LES. A total of forty-six horses were nominated for the Lincoln, and on the strength of her previous efforts here during this meeting , Manie OHara heads the list. She has tasted defeat only once since the Chicago season began, that setback coming in the La Salle Handicap, won by Her Reigh. Manie OHara L probably will encounter Her Reigh, owned by t William Maloney, again in the Lincoln Handicap. - Among others likely to be found in the ! Lincoln Handicap this week-end are two previous winners of the stake, C. E. Davi-_ - sons Chance Ray, which accounted for last t years running, and Ramsey and Coppages 5 Mucho Gusto, captor of the feature in 1936. - Mucho Gusto is scheduled to make his re- - turn to competition after a long lay-off next Saturday, and his re-entry to the races will j be watched with real interest. Other nominees for the Lincoln Handicap are Eagle Pass. Burning Star, Robert L, • Olney, Smart Trick, Tiger, Gray Jack, Light-| spur. Finance, Some Count, Dolly Val and 7 Co-Sport.
