Amber Light Breezes Six Furlongs in 1 .16 at Detroit DETROIT, Mich., June 21.— Amber Light, Charles T. Fishers Dixiana homebred, who won the 1943 renewal of the Louisiana Derby, visited the Detroit Fair Grounds track for a six furlongs drill this morning. Under the guidance of jockey Don Scurlock and the supervision of trainer Jack Hodgins, Amber Light turned the distance over the fast strip in 1:16 breezing. The three-year-old son of Pilate and Red Sunset was under snug restraint during his move and pulled up in excellent condition. Dave McClures Gold Princess and B. B. Johnsons Smacked were others out for trials, the former turning five furlongs in 1:01, handily while the latter had a three-eighths speed test in 1:35% handily. The three thoroughbreds are expected to be under colors at the Motor City course next Saturday.
