, Jofield Gets Call ForlnksterPurse Sacks Colt as Well as Cajac, Arab Moon, Scotch Jack Out To Prove Detroit Repeaters DETROIT, Mich., June 25. — The Inkster Purse, a three-quarter mile spin for three-year-olds, is to headline an unusually attractive program arranged for presentation tomorrow at this swank Michigan Racing Association course. Along with the feature, racing secretary Charles McLennan and the members of his staff also programmed some excellent supporting events, a five-furlong dash for two-year-olds, and a one mile test for three-year-olds and older, the latter to bring out a field of seven useful performers. Jofield, a member of the Washington, D. C.-owned George A. Sacks stable, is the early choice for the Inkster and is to shoulder 104 pounds, providing he is handled by an apprentice reinsman. Lou Hurwitz, who conditions the Sacks thoroughbreds, announced this morning that young Gerald Champagne is to have the mount. Jofield was an impressive winner here in his last start, defeating Mrs. Can-dace B. Shaffers Blue Point and Pollard and Harkins Nice Tint, among others, in the six-furlong St. Clair Purse. Blue Point and Nice Tint are to try Jofield again tomorrow in the Inkster, the Shaffer filly getting in with 107 pounds while Nice Tint is to carry 104 pounds under the allowance conditions. Nice Tint is to race coupled with Terrells Brothers Cajac, 106 pounds. Darrell Madden, one of the top riders at the current Detroit meeting, is to have the mount on Blue Point. Cook to Ride Arab Moon Others entered in the Inkster are Puckety Farms Arab Moon, who literally ran away from a fair field in his first appearance under silks, romping to the wire in a three-quarters mile overnight event with a ten-length advantage; Mrs. E. P. Simms Spunky, and Mrs. George C. Whites Flashy Kay. Arab Moon, 106 pounds, probably will be handled by hustling Lois C. Cook; Spunky is to carry 106 and is to be guided by apprentice Johnny Phillips while Flashy Kay, pegged at 104, will have Sherman Armstrong in the irons. P. L. Grissoms Scotch Jack, 109, a recent visitor to the local winners circle, and Mrs. E. Johnstons Sale Price, 101 pounds complete the probable starting band. The two-year-olds matched in the fourth include many of the better members of that age division quartered here. Henry Forrest, is to send out his own Hoop Gano and the Pollard and Harkins representative, Our Chalenge. Vester R. Wright is to depend on James Paddocks First Heir and the G and G Stables Dixville. The last named colt may go to the post favorite on the strength of his recent success in the four and one-half furlongs Fort Dearborn Purse, in which he set a new track record. Felix F. DeMarys home-bred Royal Hazel, Mrs. A. C. Roths New Orleans-owned George Davie, who has been working in fast style; C. E. Nelsons Masterson, a victor during the current meet; and J. H. Woodcocks Bold Sab, who also scored during the present detroit track season, rounds out the likely starting band for the dash. The one mile fifth undoubtedly will develop into one of the more interesting offerings on the card. P. L. Grissoms Chil-deric, who just missed here last week-end at three-quarters mile, will find the longer distance to his advantage and he may be the choice over his six rivals. Willie Lee Johnson is engaged to pilot Childeric. James Paddocks Blue Badge, who displayed marked improvement in his last victorious start at a mile and one sixteenth, is to be ridden by Eldon Coffman. Marion H. VanBergs Son Charlie, Mrs. Rogers Texas-owned Angle Bar, Monarch Stables Acme, Willkerson and Bauers Isocrates, and Mr. and Mrs. E. Wards Right Jab also are entered in the eight-furlong test.
