Crack Reward Passes Under Wire Four Lengths in Front of Rebate at Detroit Scores in First Start Under Gabel Colors But Returns to Buhl Via Claiming Route By DON FAIR Staff Correspondent DETROIT, Mich., June 7.— Crack Reward, recently claimed by Mrs. Audrey Gabel, coasted to a handy four-length victory here today in the third race before a crowd of 8,500 turning out on a delightful afternoon. Well ridden by Eddie Danhauer, who was astride his second winner of the matinee, Crack Reward was not under strong pressure as he swept by the finish to beat out William Zakoors Rebate, second by a nose over Theodore D. Buhls Japhap. Crack Reward, who was taken by Mrs. Gabel in his previous start from the Buhl establishment, returned to his old barn after the sprint and J. I. LaBelle took Japhap -out of the dash from theHuhl stable.

Leaping oMose went to the front at the start but Crack Reward moved up fast after the break and raced the former into ____ defeat before reaching the turn into the home lane. Meyersdale, well placed from the beginning, made a game but futile attempt to reach the winner during the drive but gave up the chase before reaching the sixteenth pole and it was Rebate and Japhap who fought it out for the place, the former getting that end of the spoils in the last strides. Meyersdale faltered nearing the wire but was able to salvage, fourth money. I. J. Collins homebred Disical, benefitted by a hustling ride by Eddie Danhauer, drove to a graduation victory in the six-furlong opener, defeating James Paddocks Lazieven by a head margin. Third honors in the sprint went to Mrs. Frederick Sharpe and Ray Mullen, Jr.s, Imbible, while Joseph A. Goodwins Ten Gallon Hat saved fourth money in the field of eight three-year-olds. Lazieven went to the front before entering the stretch and held on gamely when set down in the drive, but could not withstand Disicals brisk closing challenge, bowing to the latter in the last strides. Imbible, forwardly placed from the start of the dash, faltered during the last eighth mile and just lasted to beat Ten Gallon Hat for the short end of the purse. The start of the second race, also at six furlongs, was delayed when Andrews and Continued on Page Thirty-Nine Crack Reward Passes Wire Four Lengths in Front Continued from Page One Zakoors East Hill unseated apprentice Kenneth Godkin and ran into the stable area.
