Suggested, a handsome three-year-old chestnut son of Requested and Poppy Seed, recently purchased by the Mrs. E. E. Dale Shaffer stable from Brookmeade, is slated to make his Motor City debut tomorrow in the six-furlong Greenfield Purse. Suggested, victor in. five engagements this year, will shoulder 107 pounds in the half-holiday headliner and he is to have the saddle services of Lois Cook, presently leading reinsman of the meeting. The Shaffer colt will have a useful running-mate in the five-year-old Bull Dog-sired stallion, Bully Boy, who gets in the sprint with 113 pounds. The veteran Willie Lee Johnson is to have the mount on Bully Boy, according to word from trainer H. H. Battle. While Suggested and Bully Boy form a clever entry lor the Greenfield, several others in the field of 13 have shown to good advantage during current campaigns and the sprint may develop into one of the best races of the Michigan season. Myron Smiths Wisenheimer, 116; Sobare Stables Air Flight, 109; and Theodore D. Buhls Second Avenue, 116 pounds, all good winners in their latest appear-Contlnued on Page Forty-Eight Suggested Makes Detroit Bow in Greenfield Purse Has Bully Boy as Running Mate; Regard Sun Tan Gal Main Threat Continued from Page One ances under silks, rate highly in the Saturday dash and they may take some beating. Jockey Thearl Williams is engaged for Wisenheimer, Gerald Champagne for Second Avenue, and Apprentice Robert Miller drew the saddle chore on Air Flight. The locally-owned Grace Kosiba stable is to send out Slipper Satin, 108, and Is There, 116, in the Greenfield and Starboard Stables -3ated -Breath, 114 pounds, will race coupled with Air Flight. James Paddocks homebred three-year-old colt, First Heir, is a dangerous contender at 104 pounds, while Mrs. Dolores Sukundos colors are to be carried by the improved Hot Penny, 111 pounds. Pollard and Harkins Ever Bright, a stakes-winning filly last year, gets in the Greenfield with 102 pounds, while Jerry Lynch, Inc.s, Foray Vina, 113, and Ivan D. Peats Sun Tan Gal, 115 pounds, complete the Greenfield band. Conversation along the shed rows this morning centered on Suggested and Sun Tan Gal. Seasoned observers pointed out that Suggested holds decisions over some of the faster three-year-olds in training this year and that the Shaffer colts performance in the Warren Wright Memorial must be discounted inasmuch as the Arlington fixture was contested over an "off" track. Suggdsteds best efforts thus far have been achieved on firm footing. Sun Tan Gal, a four-year-old filly, the get of Sun Again and Pink Gal, attracted the attention of local horsemen and regular turf patrons through a series of speedy trials chalked up here recently under the guidance of her conditioner, Adelard La-moureux. In her last outing, the Peat miss finished fourth to Heres Hoping, Futura-matic and Air Mail in the Churchill Downs Handicap but, previous to that stake, Sun Tan Gal visited the winners ring at New Orleans on three occasions. She defeated Lilly Valenti, False, Pictus and Mail From Home in the three-quarters mile International Handicap, annexed the Old Hickory Handicap at the expense of such crack racers as Sabaean, Bugledrums and Thelma Berger; also beat an unusually speedy band in the New Years, stepping that six furlongs over the old Fair Grounds strip in 1:11. The Middle Belt Purse, five furlongs dash for two-year-olds, may go a long way toward establishing the 1952 juvenile chamionship at the Detroit race course meet. Included in the overnight field of 10 youngsters are such speedy entrants as the G and G Stables Short Tint and James Paddocks Tomi Blu; E. E. Browns Fighting Eagle and Henry Forrests Oratory; Mrs. J. H. Woodcocks Epic King, and Jerry McCarthy Stables Eternal Sir. Also Buhl Stables Good Times, Torrance C. Melroes Kitty Van, Mallia and Whites Tripline, and Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Baus Dis Pete. Epic King, with Freddie Redmon at the reins; .Short Tint, who will have the saddle services of Tommy Barrow, and Fighting Eagle, Chuck Burns up, are accorded strong chances in the Middle Belt. Oratory, Dis Pete, a winner and recent invader from Ohio; alonand with Good Times also rate fairly well in the juvenile dash.
