Richard to Ride Lextown WASHINGTON PARK, Homewood, HI., May 18. — Jockey Jack Richard has been enaged to ride Lexbrook Stables Lextown in the 5,000 Peabody Memorial, to be decided here on May 30, according to trainer Dave Hurn. After disappointing his owner in the recent renewal of the Kentucky Derby, Lextown appeared under silks here this week and easily conquered a band of sprinters to be a successful odds-on* victor.
