the Gazelle Stakes at Aqueduct tomorrow afternoon Mrs Payne Whitneys recordbreaker will be opposed by seven capable fillies in this mile and a sixteenth test which not only is the stellar attraction of a promising midweek program but also is one of the most significant of the coun ¬ trys fixtures for the age and sex division divisionTangled Tangled must carry 124 pounds in the Ga ¬ zelle and concede weight to all but Ella K Brysons Cis Marion but shapes up as a strong choice off her recent triumphs in the Top Flight Handicap at Belmont Park and the Delaware Oaks in which she raced to a new track record of 149 for a mile and a furlong furlongCis Cis Marion won the Pimlico Oaks in early May and then came back to finish a fast closing second in the Acorn at Belmont so will come in for some support to whip the daughter of Sweeping Light The Marshall Field entry of Strange Device and Up the Hill also will attract some of the play The former won her seasons debut at Aqueduct in impressive fashion while Up the Hill was far in front of Tangled at the end of the Acorn in which she finished third thirdNASCA NASCA GETS WEIGHT CONCESSION CONCESSIONRounding Rounding out the promised field for the Gazelle are Breckingridge Longs Nasca Mrs Louis Lazares Tex Hygro Wheatley Stables Battlefront and Cleaveland Put ¬ nams Moja In carrying 124 pounds apiece Tangled and Cis

fixture she breezed to Misty Isle and Level Best two of the ablest of the division Though Tangled picks up eleven pounds off the Oaks she will perform at a sixteenth mile shorter route in the Gazelle while her recent mile in 13656 at Belmont for this afternoons race was one of the most sensational moves of the local racing season seasonTangled Tangled will have the familiar Eddie Ar caro aboard in the days headliner That lad is one of the leaders of his profession at the Aqueduct meeting where he already has booted the winner of an important three yearold stake when making Calumets Whirlaway win the Dwyer Theres just no flaw to be found with the Greentree fillys condition as she comes up to this stake and if she is beaten it will come as a dis ¬ tinct surprise to the majority of observers Tangled went a handy half in 51 as an opener openerSTRETCH STRETCH RUNNER OF RENOWN RENOWNCis Cis Marion is a stretch runner of renown who might have won the mile Acorn with a bit further to go or had McCreary inaugu ¬ rated his run a trifle sooner She has done all asked of her since that race and was an absentee from the Delaware Oaks There is considerable interest in a meeting of this filly and Tangled No rider was named yes ¬ terday morning for Cis Marion who trained at Delaware DelawareStrange Strange Device may prove the key to the Gazelle This strapping filly is fresh and fit and some workwatchers believe she holds sufficient speed to soften up Tangled if the latter cares to make a pace duel of It early Strange Device worked well for her debut in which she put in a sizzling six furlongs in 111 in front of Dotted Swiss Dini and Tex Hygro She went three furlongs in 36 this morning while her dis ¬ tance final was a mile in 140 after three quarters in 113 That was on the training track Up the Hill who is coupled with Strange Device has been six furlongs in 113 for this engagement and is fit enough Meade will ride one of the pair probably Strange Device DeviceNasca Nasca has been an easy mile and Tex Hygro won an ordinary overnight race Moja Is of the stretch running persuasion and is expected to improve here She has Mc ¬ Creary booting Battlefront hasnt shown anything to encourage much suspicion she can whip this field fieldvThe vThe Gazelle has been an important stake since its inception when it was won by James Ben Ali Haggins Firenze in 1887 In 1892 it was won by John Dalys The Butter ¬ flies and in 1902 by William Collins Whit ¬ neys Blue Girl The queenly Beldame racing for Newton Bennnigham won the 1904 edition of the Gazelle and in 1917 it was
