| Grecian Queen Joins Colony at Delaware Bubbley, Cerise Reine, Secret Meeting Others Seeking Oaks DELAWARE PARK, Stanton. Del., May 27.— The 0,000 Delaware Oaks, which will top Saturdays holiday program at Delaware Park, loomed today as the three-year-old filly race of the year with Grecian Queen an arrival by van from Belmont Park to join Bubbley, Cerise Reine. Secret Meeting and other stars at the Stanton tract. The 32 -day Delaware Park meeting opens Friday. Just those four aces of the division alone represent well over a million dollars in horseflesh, and its extremely doubtful they could be bought for anything even approximating that amount, considering their value as both racers and potential broodmares. The outstanding quartet never has been brought together in one race and may not again, this season or later. Each is a ranking contender for the divisional championship this year. The Delaware Oaks, an early-closing fixture, is expected to gross well over 0,000 this Memorial Day, including 0,000 in added money, which is increased annually by ,500.
