Gillem, along with Burgoo Miss and Chandera, will be among the handicap performers at Fairmount Park during the meeting beginning Decoration Day. Gillem sent word to racing secretary Leigh that he was shipping from Churchill Downs this week and would have a starter -in the Memorial Day Handicap.

Gillem recently purchased the contract of jockey Sterling Anifantis from F. P. Letellier and he will accompany the stable here. Anifantis will be remembered here as riding for E. B. Shipp. A number of well known riders were noted on the track Wednesday morning including Andy LoTurco, Robert Montgomery, Willie Lee Johnson, J. W. Frey and Nick Jemas.
