W. Nizlek, stole the honors in the featured sixth race at Suffolk Downs this afternoon when the consistent sprinter carried his speed over a mile and one-sixteenth to take a well-earned victory. A length and a quarter back of the Selalbeda colt, Mrs. George Seabos Kasco Knight had to be content with second money, defeating Ralph Lowes Blentigo. Mrs. J. Kelleys I Trust, installed the choice of the eight three-year-olds, was never a serious factor and wound up fifth. Ideal weather prevailed at the Downs this afternoon, being the first day in which the topcoats were on the arm, rather than over the shoulders. The chalk players among the 9,826 patrons on hand were for- tunate in cashing in on three favorites during the first five events. Apprentice Ralph Borgemenke, leading reinsman of the meeitng, accounted for riding honors again today, completing a double astride Teaneck Flash. He won the opener with Beverly Farms Tap the Till. Teaneck Flash made good use of his early speed in the featured Milton Purse, getting command over the fleet but faint-5 hearted Crewhall before traveling a half mile. Once headed, Crewhall dropped back steadily as Blentigo ranged up to force the leader. Kasco Knight also was close up and ready to pounce on the leader leaving the backstretch. Borgemenke had plenty of horse under him however and as Kasco Knight moved on the outside, forcing Blentigo to change his course to the inside, Teaneck Flash moved away again. Through the stretch, Blentigo challenged in earnest, getting within a half length of the pace-0 maker but his effort was not good enough and Kasco Knight edged him for the run-0 ner-up position. - Billie Fisk, who rode I Trust, evidently was weakened trying to get weight off to accept a later mount and his mount did not receive the benefit of a strong ride. Fisk was forced to cancel the mount on Happy East in the seventh race. Overlooked in the wagering, probably because of his doubt to carry the speed over the middle distance, Teaneck Flash paid a tidy 2.40 while being timed in 1:44% over the fast racing strip.
