General Staff, owned by Larry MacPhail, the old baseball man, is in to race, and the Hasty House Farm, who like to try double entries, may start two of their quartet nominated, possibly Ruhe and Oil Capitol. But will such as Sabaean, Andy B. W., Royal Mustang, Pet Bully, Abbe Sting, Coffee Money and the lesser lights care to match strides with the Helis Star. Real Delight will be meeting older fillies and mares in the Artful, to be de- cided the same day as the Equipoise, and, therefore, will likely meet more opposition than Spartan Valor. The Hal Price Headley pair, Aesthete, second in Aqueducts Ga-! zelle, and Recover, trounced by Real Delight in the Cleopatra, may make a bid: likewise, Brookmeades Two Rainbows, Freeman Keyes Flyamanita, Walmac Farms Toomai, C.
