Ankenbauer Entry Stages One-Two Act at Detroit Cashier, High Ego Show Way In Sport of Kings Handicap FAIR GROUNDS, Detroit, Mich., June 15. Ray Ankenbauers Cashier drove to a one-length victory over his stablemate, High Ego, in the 0,000 Sport of Kings Handicap here today, before a crowd of 22,313. The daughter of High Strung was scoring her third straight success at the meeting and her victory was worth ,500. Cashier was timed in 1:13 and was splendidly ridden by Don Scurlock. An additional length away in the field of nine three-year-olds, came Dave Fergusons early pacemaker, Ariel Ace, who was only a nose before Mrs. G. C. Whites Bright Steel. R. S. McLaughlins pair, Wee Admiral and Gregalach, were sharp disappointments in the race, as the former brought up the rear and Gregalach was seventh. They were stout favorites at .05 to . Ariel Ace had his usual early speed to open up a clear lead, but Cashier was next in line and was being steadied before Wee Admiral and High Ego. Entering the stretch, Scurlock sent Cashier around on the outside, and in the home lane wrested command from the weakening Ariel Ace. At this juncture it became evident that Wee Admiral was through, and High Ego was sent around on the outside to join the leaders. Through the stretch, Cashier continued to hold sway and High Ego dislodged the weakening Ariel Ace from second place to make the issue safe for the Ankenbauer silks. Bright Steel had never been far away and he closed stoutly, but just failed to oust Ariel Ace from the final pay-off berth. Yank Bomber was an easy winner of the first race when, under excellent handling by apprentice Jimmy Reynolds, he came from far back in the early running to take command through the stretch and draw out to be five lengths before Homer at the end of the one mile and a sixteenth test. Forcing Homer to the limit was Markability, one of the four field horses. The winner was installed favorite in the evenly matched field but returned . It was the second score at the meeting for Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Bledsoes representative.
