= 1 Dear Tint Registers In Clear at Detroit G and G Stable Colt Whips Flashy Kay by Four and Half Lengths; 20,000 View Card By DON FAIR Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Mich., May 26. — G. and G. Stables Dear Tint, a handsome bay son of Tintagel and Ina Dear, raced to a well-deserved victory here today in the Detroit Purse, one of the better attractions on a well balanced program. Set down through the stretch by Eldbn Coffman, the G. and G. colt sped to the wire with a four and one-half lengths margin over his nearest rival, Mrs. George C. Whites Flashy Kay. Two lengths back, Mrs. M. J. Hoydics Ted Yochum was up for the short end of the spoils, while Mrs. E. E. Dale Shaffers favored Creep Mousie ran fourth in the field of six three-year-old starters. Dear Tint rounded out a double for trainer Vester R. Wright and jockey Coffman. Wright put the tack on James Paddocks winning Gallajaci in a previous race and Coffman handled the Louisville-owned filly. Won Last at Downs The Detroit marked Dear Tints second straight victory, the colt having won his last engagement at Churchill Downs. Picking up 111 pounds, the victor stepped the three-quarters in a sharp 1:11% and, second choice in the speculation, returned backers slightly better than 2Y2 to 1. Dear Tint went to the front immediately after starter John Morrissey dispatched the small Detroit field in a "line break" and he quickly opened up a good lead over Lease Hound. The latter gave way after flashing early speed while the ultimate winner entered the stretch with a commanding advantage. Briskly handled during the drive, Dear Tint drew clear while Tlashy Kay, a sharp factor from the outset, held on well enough to take second by a comfortable margin from Ted Yochum, a rather tardy beginner. Creep Mousie was never a serious threat Continued on Page Thirty-Nine i i Dear Tint Well in Clear In Detroit Sprint Event Whips Flashy Kay by Four and Half Lengths Before 20,000 Continued from Page One and she failed to display the form that earned her a purse here last season. Threatening weather and occasional showers during the afternoon did not deter a crowd of. approximately 20,000 from turning out at the Livonia course and the big gathering was treated to fair sport. Although occasional rain fell, the track remained fast but slightly dull for the half-holiday matinee. Wagering and attendance was up considerably over that of a corresponding Saturday last season. Edward K. Thomas Dixville, a well made son of Littletown and Black Heels, made a show of his five juvenile rivals in the four and one-half furlongs fifth event, romping to the final marker with an eight-length advantage. Dixville, who had the saddle services of the capable Jerry West, assumed command-at the start of the dash and held sway from flagf all to finish, winning with something left. Henry Forrests By Degrees was along to take the place by two lengths from James Paddocks Fancy Dream, while Ivan D. Peats Mattafor salvaged fourth money. Dixville, victor in his previous start at Keeneland, completed his task in a creditable :53% and he was the 7 to 5 choice in the totalisator. Outsiders annexed the Daily Double events, Saginaw Stables Turban scored a three-quarters length decision in the six furlongs opener and Carl Grahams Robin Red won the second race at a similar distance by 10 lengths. Turban, ridden by Chuck Burns, paid #40 in the straight tote pool and Robin Red, handled by Darrell Madden, was good for a 8.60 pay-off. The Daily Double return on the successful pair was 05.80. Form players caught a winner when I. J. Collins homebred filly, Sweep Tiger, beat six other three-year-olds in the three-quarters mile third race. The Ohio-owned victress, well ridden by Tommy Barrow, went to the front at the start of the dash and she made every pole a winning one, stepping to the wire with a six lengths advantage. Joseph A. Goodwins Ten Gallon Hat could not threaten the flying winner but easily took second from M. T. Hendricks Miss Croma, his margin over the latter being eight lengths. Sweep Tiger was clocked in 1:14% and she was the 7 to 5 choice.
