HI., June 25.— A trim bay filly, called Jo Pilot, overlooked in the tote, ran the best race to date of her career to carry Pierce Holtons red and blue banner to a courageous accounting over Hal Price Headleys favored Recover in the 5,000 added. Artful, feature of a bright Wednesday card at this park. Ten fillies and mares went to the post in slow going for this six furlongs, but it looked like a match race almost from the break, with Jo Pilot and Recover seesawing in the lead in a speed duel the entire way. At the finish the Jet Pilot filly was a half length in advance of Recover, with H. F. Krimendahls luckless Roman Miss third, about three lengths farther away. Roman Miss was ridden by Eddie Arcaro and the actual topweight under 115. She was making a bold run on the inside leaving the furlong pole and may have finished with the first two except for being in tight quarters attempting to come through on the rail, while Dickie Sue was using it. The winner was scoring her first stakes success and earned 0,900 while returning 2 in the tote. Some idea of the track conditions may be gained from the fact so fast a field required 1 : 14% to negotiate the six furlongs. A disappointment of the race was Whirla Lea, who went to the post bandaged in front, but was a straggler early under Adams and finished to late with too little. 13,453 Out for Program Although the track still showed the effects of recent cloudbursts, the weather was torrid, and a large and lightly clad midweek crowd of 13,453 turned out to see the Artful and its supporting events. They were rewarded with a real rouser of a horse race in the stake. Two Rainbows outbroke the field a step, but Church almost immediately shot Recover to the front and in the first sixteenth she was joined by Jo Pilot. The ultimate winner opened up about a length between calls going into the turn, but was joined again by Recover swinging for home, and they had it out all through the stretch, with Jo Pilot finally wearing down the Headley filly near the end. She had up 106 with two pounds overweight and was get-ting two pounds from the daughter of Re- voked. Roman Miss had only two of the field beaten going down the backside and was lengths out of it but saved ground on the Continued on Page Forty-Four j 1 • l : . ■ j | t c a t 8 a B £ 1« s S a P E n o n o s by b c. ti f It si U C s] of o o ti L o fi n h he y C; n f u in a f j 0 of o a u in S A r. e j ii in 0 on ti o c Jo Pilot Takes Artful In Upset at Arlington Whips Recover After Torrid Duel; Whirla Lea Finishes Far Back Continued from Paoe One turn and Arcaro had her really boiling , coming to the eighth pole.

The latter ran well placed all the way but never could get within three lengths of the first two after they got on stride. Those who wagered on the favored Speedy Baby in the first race failed to get action as the mare was scratched at the post on orders of the track veterinarian. However, they escaped losing as their money was refunded. With Speedy Baby out of the way, Whiz-A-Bit was the winner over Courts Maude. Whiz-A-Bit opened up on the field in the stretch and scored by a wide margin. She was ridden apprentice William Cox. The two-year-old filly Ashes came charging through the stretch to be up in time to take the second race, which was for maiden two-year-old fillies at five furlongs. Adams was aboard Ashes and he restrained her early, but she had what it took in the stretch drive. Shady Nook and Calorimeter finished second and third, respectively. Yutu, the favorite, finished far in front the others in the third, which brought out a full field. The winner, with apprentice John Heckmann up, went to the front when ready and it was all over with Gee- t Light reaching second place and Chief Os- € ceola being third. The distance was seven furlongs. Mr. Paradise won the first race of the ! meeting for the Ada L. Rice Stable when J trimmed a small but good band of two- J year-olds in the fourth. With Eddie Ar- J caro rating him nicely in the early run- * ning Mr. Paradise had much strength left J for the stretch run and he easily took over * the last furlong. Celtic Play was second J and Mighty Moment third in the six-horse ■ field. The stakes winning Ace Destroyer ■ was unplaced. j Yaleman found an opening on the inside Silver K. on the stretch turn to take command in the fifth race and win by one and one-half lengths from Blue Volt, who, turn, finished 15 lengths, in advance of Silver K., the third horse. Yaleman was Adams second winner of the afternoon. Rose Bouquet led throughout in the sixth race to win by herself. Her margin at the end was five lengths over Cajac, with Junior finishing third. Cajac lost his chance racing beyond the middle of the track % * the stretch turn, and Junior was virtually eliminated when he followed him out. The distance was six furlongs and Gerald Porch rode the winner.
