The latest achievement I [ for the daughter of Blenheim II. and Twilight Tear was a victory in the 0,000 De- j bonair Stakes in which she mastered most of the best-year-olds of both sex racing in California. Prior to her victory in the Debonair A I Gleam whipped all of the leading fillies and mares in the Milady Handicao at sev- ! en furlongs and disposed of all of the top | fillies her own age over the mile and a sixteenth of the Hollywood Oaks. I In winning the Debonair A Gleam ran seven furlongs in 1:22, within three-fifths of a second of the track record she estab- , ! lished in the Milady Handicap, and won with three lengths to spare over Mr. and I ; Mrs. N. G. Phillips Stranglehold. Third to | complete the distance was L. B. Mayers Princess Lygia who last season was one of i the contenders for the juvenile filly cham- ! [ pionship. 1 j Calumet Farm dominated the racing ; i picture here last week-end, for that fabu-lous j establishment also accounted for the Debonairs companion feature, the 5,000 | i Vanity Handicap.
