j j Seven Sprinters Entered In Fairmount Main Event Teapoy and Pad Lock to Match Speed at Five and Half Furlongs By C. A. LINDEMAN Staff Correspondent FAIRMOUNT PARK, Cpllinsville, 111., May 27. Fairmount Park swings into its first five-night week of racing tomorrow night with an outstanding week-night program of eight races. In lieu of the original feature which failed to fill the sixth race, the Webster Grove Purse, which is styled for three-year-olds and older horses at five and one-half furlongs, will serve as the main atv traction. This event brings together seven horses that race for a ,000 tag. Teapoy comes to this race off of several topnotch races at the spring meeting at the Oaklawn Park meeting. His best race at the Arkansas meeting was a six-furlong dash in which the claiming price was ,000. In winning that test Teapoy took a long lead in the first few yards and was never in serious trouble thereafter, winning in 1:15 over a sloppy track by a two-length margin taking the measure of such good sprinters, as Ferro Fox and Texas Rain. Teapoy races in the interest of J. C. Ellis and is by Sweeping Tide. In the Webster Grove Purse, Teapoy will pack 113 pounds and will have jockey E. Hust up. Next in line which figures to offer the most opposition is the Hilltop Stock Farms Pad Lock, who comes here with an impressive record at the recent Sportsmans Park meeting. Pad Lock runs best over the short sprint courses, his last race before coming to the Collirisville course was in a five-furlong dash when he finished second to Rose Bed, only being beaten a little less than a length over a slow racing strip in 1:02. His best race prior to that was a six-furlong eyent over a fast track at the Oaklawn meeting, winning y a neck oyer Cotton Joe going the six panels in 1:11. Pad Lock runs best where the price tag is between ,000 and ,000. Oatburner from the stable of B. G. Hooker figures best of the others in the feature off some of his best races this spring at Oaklawn. In the Webster Grove Purse, Oatburner is meeting a little better class horse than he ran with this spring but, taking his best race in which he defeated a band of ,500 platers over a heavy track to win a six furlongs race by five open lengths he rates as a top oponent. Rounding out the field of the Webster Groves five and one-half furlong dash will be Gallant Tuck owned by B. Hirsch-berg and with 111 pounds up, Kar-Al-Ott 111, from the A. Kara, Sr. stable, Miss Ozan owner by F. J. Demary which races recently at Lincoln Fields meeting, and Cindalite from the stable of the partners E. P. Cockland and P. E. Cockland,
