C. H. "Frenchy" Pinon, owner and trainer of the Happy Stable, provided an upset in the Genoa Purse when his splendid mare, Happy Issue, charged through the stretch to score by a length here this afternoon. The eight-year-old daughter of Bow to Me Achieve, won the Hollywood Gold Cup back in 1944 and occasionally comes up with a "big" race against fine competition. Today she was up to one of those performances as she defeated Mrand. Ada L. Rices Demure, while the warm favorite, Bogle, from the Hal Price Headley stable, was third in the seven-horse field. Tony Skoroniski finished out a riding double astride the Pinon-owned mare, who raced the six furlongs in 1:12 over a track that was designated muddy. She was mildly backed at 4.80 for . For a time it seemed that the racing strip would be in fairly good condition, in spite of last nights rains, but prior to the opening there was a heavy downpour that caused the course to eventually become muddy. The sport was attended by 12,978 turfites and the weather for the most part was warm and humid. Not Run to Bogles Style The -record of Bogle indicates that she seldom wins unless she gets to the front early. In the Genoa she was outrun down the backstretch and around the turn by Sweet Woman. The Headleyite made a strong bid for honors at the head- of the stretch but began to falter when nearing the wire, although able to run down Sweet Woman. Happy Issue, in the meantime, was beginning to move between horses, while down on the rail where the going was heaviest, came Demure. The two rather authoritatively passed Bogle, then engaged in a warm fight for top honors. Dixianas Shy Guy was the second odds-on favorite of the afternoon to win and it also completed a double io"r Steve Brooks. The three-year-old son of Challedon Tootsiecake, showing a distinct fondness for the muddy going, was many pounds the best of the field of seven. He was pinched back while racing close up going down the backstretch but took to the outside around the turn and came on smartly to win handily by a couple of lengths. W. M. Wickhams Withastar fashioned a smart early pace and when Shy Guy ran into trouble it seemed that he had the field at his mercy. He continued gamely after Continued on Page Three Magic Mirror Lasts to Gain Neck Victory at Aqueduct Continued from Page One being headed but was no match for the Sun Again colt in 1:05, one of the fastest times of the meeting. Lands End, Uluminable, Swap Out and Prince Quest raced as a team in the run to the far turn with Uluminable on the rail and Prince Quest on -the outside. Prince Quest took command coming into the stretch, but went a little wide while Uluminable stayed on the rail, saving ground. He responded willingly, though racing with his head high when Atkinson went to the whip and caught the Whitaker colt at the sixteenth, then gradually drew away under punishment. Rolling Press Farm, owned by the sports staff of the New York World Telegram, received the first financial return on its one-horse stable, Pounditout, when the Vanderbilt-bred-and-donated colt finished fast to earn fourth money of 75 in the opening dash. That sum j,ust about equaled the wagers made by his owners, but is earmarked for other expenses. Jack Amiels King Hal led all the way in the juvenile dash to score by almost two lengths over Sunny Acres Wars End, who led Sidney S. Schuppers Sambet by another three-quarters of a length.
