Flying Mile Strives for Third Straight Triumph Cherry Oca Stable Router Faces Six Opponents at Suffolk Today SUFFOLK DOWNS, East Boston, Mass., May 11. — Seven better-than-average middle-distance platers have been banded together in tomorrows feature at Suffolk Downs. Named the Boylston, to be contested at a mile and one-sixteenth, the main attraction is styled for four-year-olds and older who have raced for a claiming ; price of 0,000 or less since October 1. All I of the eligibles for the Boylston have had 1 at least one race over the Suffolk strip and 1 tomorrows test should prove interesting, despite the lack of class. Two winners at the current meeting, , Cherry Oca Stables Flying Mile and Mr. . and Mrs. L. G. Bedwells Gallant G. I., are I certain to come in for their share of support from loyal patrons. Flying Mile has been campaigned carefully since the opening ■ of the Florida racing season at Tropical 1 Park last December and the gelded son of Milkman has posted an envious record 1 I against as good as he meets tomorrow. In 1 eight starts Flying Mile registered two victories, four seconds and was third once. Fresh from a triumph at Jamaica this ; spring, Flying Mile turned back Ground | Fog and Gams in an overnight allowance ■ race just one week ago at the local track. The four-year-old appeared impressive in that triumph, coming off the pace under a 1 rousing ride from jockey Billy Cook, and I won by a half a length in a test that was ; traveled in 1:47% for a mile and one-sixteenth. Cook will again guide the Cherry Oca racer in the Baylston. Gallant G. I. received his spring conditioning at Bowie and Havre de Grace, ■ where he was fourth and second, respectively. In his local score, the son of Gallant Gay was under a steady drive for a i half mile to sustain a neck advantage over r K. D. Smiths Silverling at tomorrows distance. . Silverling is also an eligible for the i . Boylston and that race may have served as a warning to his rivals, inasmuch as it was the best race turned in by the Head Play 1 colt since early in the recent Hialeah Park : meeting.
