Trotsek Double By DON FAIR CHURCHILL DOWNS. Louisville, Ky., May 10. — Hasty House Farms Inseparable, who was making his first start since annexing the Louisville Handicap here last autumn, scored a mildly surprising victory today in the featured Challedon Purse. Smartly ridden by jockey Kenneth Church, Inseparable, a five-year-old gelded son of Unbreakable and Fairday, led for practically the entire seven furlongs and reached the finish a neck in advance of Carl Grahams hard-hitting Fancy Flyer.

Finding the muddy track to his advantage, the Hasty House Farm stakes winner completed his journey in 1:26% and, lightly regarded in the speculation, returned his backers 3.20 straight. Races in Middle of Track Clevelander had the highest speed away from the stalls, but Inseparable sprinted into command before going a furlong. He continued to show the way around the upper turn ami, after Almenow gave up the chase. Fancy Flyer moved up with a bold challenge.
