With the seventeenth running of the 5,000 Massachusetts as the feature, a brilliant all-day program has been built around the race.

The gates will open at 10 a. m. and there wont be a quiet moment until somewhere in the neighborhood -of 6 oclock that evening when the last race is completed. There is every indication that this 1951 program will far exceed the 1950 innovation which met with such marked success.
