Ohio Notes ASCOT PARK, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, May 11. — Mrs. Carolyn Phillips, of Frederick, Maryland, is visiting Ascot Park this week. Her primary reason for coming was to witness Connie Rose carry her silks in competition. Connie Rose is trained by Gordon Pearce. Eddie Miller, assistant racing secretary and placing judge here at Ascot, was forced to relinquish those posts. Miller suffered a relapse of the virus infection he contacted early in the meeting and his physician has ordered him to bed for some time. Todays eighth race was the first of a series of distance events called the Old Hilltop and one will be offered on each Monday. Distance and purse will increase in each event and there will be a point system with various awards at the conclusion of the series. Going into the second week of the spring meeting, Nick Shuk and Bobbie Mitchell are tied for first place in the jockey standings, each having won five races. Bernard Hewitt, Rocco Sisto, Mike Caffarella, William Hartack and W. J. Passmore share third position, each with three. Lord Jeffrey and Banker Belle, owned by the Darby Dan Farm and trained by Jack Long, were arrivals from Garden State Park.
