Rail Creek, Ocean Breeze In Pimlico Sprint Event Both Haye Won Purses This Spring on Maryland Circuit PIMLICO, Baltimore, Md., May 24. — While Maryland racegoers are awaiting Saturdays duel between Henry Hechts Blue Rhymer and Alan Clarkes Jeannie C. in the Havre de Grace Breeders Stakes, they will have to content themselves with a mediocre program for tomorrows presentation. The card lacks an outstanding feature but several races have attracted small, well-balanced fields. The only non-claiming races on the card are the five-furlong third event, for two-year-olds, and the mile and a sixteenth fifth race, designed for three-year-old fillies. - The third dash, which carries a purse of ,500, shapes up as a speed test between C. Ewing Tuttles Rail Creek and T. A. Sears. Ocean Breeze. The former was an easy winner last week over the local oval, scoring by seven lengths while turning five panels in 1:01%. The Coldstream colt is a nice-looking individual and could improve even further tomorrow. Ocean Breeze, a son of the former Calumet star, Ocean Wave, has started but once and scored easily at Bowie, covering four and a half furlongs in :55%. Others in this juvenile test are maidens. They are E. K. Brysons Double Echo, Joseph Paolis Harbor Queen, Everett Low-rances Treetop. G. G. Waughs Wait Not, G. Li. Raubenstines Brown Peg and Mark Leachs Jackies Doll. The sophomore filly event has been named the Gwynn Oak and five cheap members of the division will compete for a ,000 purse. They are J. M. Seibels Dance Routine, Watson Elliotts Nina Rose, Mrs. P. P. Wirths Florida Fay, Miss C. Walshs Swingalick and M. Schwartzs Beaurita. Nina Rose and Florida Fay were last seen in action in the Black-Eyed Susan, but their respective efforts offered little encouragement to their handlers. Nina Rose, a Maryland-bred, was beaten 18% lengths, while Florida Fay was four lengths farther back. Dance Routine has the best general form of the quintet, due largely to the fact that she has been competing against members of her own division and class. In her last appearance, she was second to the well-regarded Tides, from the Nydrie, Stable. Swingalick and Beaurita, like Nina Rose, are maidens and have little to recommend. . f t imiiH* ri,
