Lincoln Fields Notebook By J. J. MURPHY Joliet Has Interesting Background Hoffman Thanks Various Staffs Oh Leo Turned Out at Dunn Farm HAWTHORNE. Cicero, 111., May 21.— The Joliet Stakes, to be decided here Saturday, has been a race of interest since its inQiiflmral inaugural -r running n t-» y-» i n r r in inQiiflmral inaugural -r running n t-» y-» i n r r in 1926 when it was taken by No Regrets. Among the winners of the two-year-old event, which is now for colts and geldings, exclusively, have been such turf immortals as Anita Pea-body and Alsab. Among those also having finished first in the affair are Blue Delight, dam ui of Real rtccti .l/c Delight, 11s nt. and wmma ui of Real rtccti .l/c Delight, 11s nt. wmma Hygro, who developed into quite a sire. One of the greatest upsets in the Joliet came about in 1942, when Littletown defeated the highly-regarded Occupation and, just to prove his supremacy over the John Marsch colt at that time, came back to trim him again in the Primer at Arlington Park. Littletown stood for some seasons in Illinois and was recently sold for 00 at the M. A. Keen dispersal vendue. Errard, who sired Errards Guide, the 1951 winner, could do no better than second in the 1944 edition, in which he was defeated by Ican-getit. Last year Dean Cavy and Happy Carrier, both owned by Mr. and Mrs. William Veeneman, finished first and second respectively. Johnny Adams, who rode Dean Cavy, will be on Mr. Prosecutor in Saturdays running. In 1948 Olympia and Ky. Colonel finished in a dead heat for Joliet honors, which brings to mind that a full brother of Ky. Colonel, named Five Star Gen. recently arrived on the Hawthorne scene. The colt came in a shipment that trainer Anthony Rupelt brought from Kentucky. He is owned by Mrs. Joe Goodwin. Rupelt also brought several horses for Messrs. Karl R. Martin and W. N. McKinney, whose colt, Mr. Good, was one of the outstanding two-year-olds in this area last year and won the Arlington Futurity. Mr. Good is now at Charles Asburys farm at Lexington, where he will remain until this fall. However, Martin and McKinney have a smart-looking filly named Mrs. Goode, by Papa Redbird — Traditional, by Bull Lea, to be raced during the summer. She is no "relative" of Mr. Good, who is by Easy Mon — Grim and Gray, by Zacaweista. Harold C. Hoffman, secretary-treasurer of the Central division of the HBPA for the past three years, has announced his resignation from that position. He will leave for Detroit where he will train the large stable owned by Grace Kosiba, a resident of the Motor City. Before leaving, Hoffman expressed his thanks to the HBPA members, Illinois Racing Board, track operators, and secretary office staffs, whom, he states, have been very cooperative. He is especially grateful to F. J. McCarthy, managing director of MacNeal Memorial Hospital, who, realizing the financial problems of the horsemens organization, granted sizable reductions in bills for hospital care for members. Hoffman stated that during 1952 the Illinois Racing Board donated ,100 for aid in paying unduly large bills. Milton Resseguet. the New Orleans trainer who is best known as the conditioner of the good sprinter, Oh Leo, got in from Lexington with nine horses. He states that Oh Leo has been turned out at owner James Dunns farm, near Chicago, for a rest of several months, and that Brown Smoke and Mighty Moment have been pastured at Tom Dev-ereaux place in Kentucky. . . . Jockey Willie Cox, who suffered a fractured collarbone at Sportsmans Park, has been released from the hospital and will soon depart for Detroit. . . . Clifford Lussky, president of the Kentucky Thoroughbred Breeders Club, will be here Saturday to view the running of the Joliet Stakes, in which his colt, Tuosix, will be a starter. . . . Mr. and Mrs. Osmer Deming, of Cynthiana. Kansas, will be here Saturday to root for Thaxter, who will be a starter in the Peabody Prep on that day. . . . Martin "Duke" Penter was on the job early the other morning distributing registration blanks for Arlington Park, where he serves as stall superintendent. William Hal Bishop, who won four straight races with Third Division after claiming him, has sold the seven-year-old Continued on Page Forty Lincoln Fields Notebook By J. J. MURPHY Continued from Page Three to Lloyd Mis trot. The latter also bought Texas Rain from Bishop and the pair will be shipped to Fairmount Park by trainer E. Melancon. . . . The Arkansas Derby winner, Curragh King, was an arrival at Arlington Park the other day. He is owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ed Goemans and trained by Jimmy Wallace, who brought along four others. Curragh King will be pointed for the three -year -old stakes at the combined Arlington-Washington Park meetings. . . . The horses in the Buddah Stable, owned by Dave Paper of St. Paul, Minn., arrived in charge of trainer D. Denham. Included in the lot is the good mare Sunny Dale, winner of the Suwannee River Handicap at Gulfstream Park and the Columbiana Stakes at Hialeah. Winston Churchill, himself a horse owner, would likely be glad to learn they changed the name of the colt Good Ole Winnie to Goofus. Goofus was unplaced as an odds-on choice in his first outing. ... If you were wondering how leading trainer William Hal Bishop does it, here is a sample: He claimed Snapheel for ,000, garnered four purses and one second with him and lost him for ,000, realizing a profit of ,420 on one horse in less than one month. That beats digging ditches. . . . Frank 3utzow, the Chicago breeding expert, regards Barre Granite as the best son of Wise Counsellor now at stud.
