Favorites Return Small Daily Double at Beulah Flying Platter, Outing Combine Pays 5.60; Pinkstaff Injured BEULAH PARK, Grove City, Ohio. May 26. — A pair of fours provided a fine Tuesday crowd with the smallest Daily Double of the 19-day spring meeting here as two favorites, Flying Platter and Outing, combined to return 5.60 to the lucky ticket holders. Flying Platter took the opening event on the card by a length and a half over a good track which was rapidly drying with the aid of a bright sun and stiff breeze. Flying Platter paid .40 in his role as favorite and carried Jack Welch to his tenth victory of the meeting. The veteran has been specializing in the first race of the afternoon and put up a good ride on the favorite. Outing returned a shorter .40 for her three-quarters length victory in the second race while bringing Billy Sackett home to his eighteenth successful saddle triumph of the 15-day-old meeting. Sackett is now Beulah s leading rider. Mrs. Freddie Sharpe showed her husband how it should be done when she saddled the two-year-old, Sunnyside Up, to a long-shot score in the third race for maidens, as the juvenile daughter of Triplicate — Pompe Bonne paid 9.20. The race was marred by a bad spill when Grand Bar, a first-time starter, bolted to the outside and jumped over the outer rail, throwing jockey D. Pinkstaff very heavily to the ground. Pinkstaff was removed to Mount Carmel Hospital in the track ambulance and will have to be further examined before his injuries are determined.
