Permane Hurt as Mount Stumbles Leaving Gate Rider Believed to Have Fractured Collarbone; Sailed Away Wins By FRED GALIANI Staff Correspondent SUFFOLK DOWNS, East Boston, Mass., May 11. — The featured Brookline Purse was marred right at the break when River Divide Farms Andre stumbled coming out of the gate, throwing jockey Bobby Permane. The Camden, N. J., rider apeared to escape being stepped on, but sat dazed on the track until two members of the starting crew picked him up, carried him to the outside rail until the ambulance came and took Permane to the track first aid station. Permane was removed to the Revere Memorial Hospital for X-rays. Preliminary examination at the track first aid room revealed a possible fracture of the collarbone. Permane has been the victim of a number of bad spills and a few years back was involved in one which was thought to have ended his career. But the blonde, curly-haired rider amazed the turf world with his comeback and was going in good style until injured again this afternoon. The winner of the event was Vigilant Stables Sailed Away, a stout choice with the crowd of 14,530, who won by three lengths under jockey Vernon Smith. Sailed Away paid .80 and covered the mile and a sixteenth in 1:43%. M. G. Dohertys Grandma Josie, who set most of the pace, finished second, while another length back came H. A. Kimballs Sinn Fein. Sailed Away gradually moved into second place behind Grandma Josie as they went down the backstretch and was just biding him time. When they straightened away for the run home, Smith turned his mount loose and the winner swept by Grandma Josie in decisive fashion. Sailed Away, a son of War Admiral — Gentle Tryst, bred by the Greentree Stud, has been a consistent handicap and allowance performer on the New England circuit for the past couple of years. This was his third victory in 12 starts so far this season. Earlier in the day, jockey Dick McLaughlin stretched his number of winners to 30 for the meeting, racking up a triple. His winners were Dudley Darbury, Regal Stone and Deflation. He now has a wide lead over the inactive DeSpirito.
