Mason n.s To Market completed the field. Ray York hustled Arise over the eight furlongs in a sparkling 1:35% r,nd the public choice paid .30. A crowd of 20,446 turned out in delightful summery weather to view the sport. Form players among them were gratified by the triumphs of four favorites in the first six races. Eddie Arcaro starred in the saddle with a double on Real Brother in the second and Hadassah in the fifth event. Arise, who was scoring his first victory of the year, picked up ,540 as his winners share of the 0,000- purse in the Eight Thirty and brought his total return to his Canadian owner to 97,990, gained by 19 victories in 49 starts.

Northern Star Opens Up Lead Ted Atkinson sent Northern Star to the front at the start of the Eight Thirty and the Irish colt quickly opened a lead of a couple of lengths over Arise, while cutting out a sizzling pace of :23 for the first quarter, :45% for the half and 1:10% for the three-quarters. Arise gradually gained on Northern Star rounding the wide curve to the stretch, while the pair drew clear of War King, who led To Market by several lengths. Uncle Miltie and Nullify brought up the rear. Curving for home, Arise set sail for the leader on the outside, while Uncle Miltie made a feeble bid and To Market dropped back as War King "was running evenly in third place. York used his stick a couple of times just above the eighth pole and Arise responded willingly, putting Northern Star away with almost a furlong to go, then coasting to the finish.
