[ a Eleven Supplementary a Entries to Preakness ■ Number of Eligibles to Pimlico Stake Increased to Fifty-Nine * l BALTIMORE, Md., April 18.— Eleven t three-year-olds, comprising a record num- 1 ber of supplementary entries for the Preak- J ness Stakes, bring to 59 the number of j nominees to the mile and three -sixteenths feature of May 13 at Pimlico*s combined « Pimlico - Bowie - Laurel - Havre de Grace meeting. Should owners of these aspirants to fame send each representative postward, there is a possibility of a field of 22 for the 0,000 i added fixture. , The list of supplementary entrants was | made public by the Maryland Jockey Club j today under whos*e management this joint j session is being conducted. The supple- , I mentary nominations closed Saturday, April ! J 15, at a cost of ,500 each. Most prominent of the new eligibles is Greentree Stables Stir Up and William Helis Olympic Zenith. The former cap-3 tured the Flamingo this past winter at Miami, while Olympic Zenith projected himself to the forefront of the 3-year-old division by his triumph in the Louisiana Derby. Possibly most interest hereabouts is connected with inclusion in the group of Mrs. H. J. Mohrs Royal Prince, Maryland -bred son of Dauber, who came into prominence late last year, and Gay Bit, owned by the locally owned Bobanet Stable, which is the nom de course of R. Bruce Livie. This three-year-old was second to Olympic Zenith in the Louisiana Derby. Platter is also a supplementary entry. This George D. Widener colorbearer proved a favorite with Maryland fans by virtue of his victories in the Walden Stakes and Pimlico Futurity here last fall. With the 6,500 added in supplementary fees, all of which goes in the winners share, the Preakness gross value now is 6,710, and if 15 start, the race will be Continued on Page Twenty Eleven Supplementary Entries to Preakness Number of Eligibles to Pimlico Stake Increased to Fifty-Nine Continued from Page One worth 4,210.
