Delaware Memos By FRED GALIANI Belmont Kent Stakes Run Same Day Unable to Avoid Conflicting Dates Italian Horse Arson Coming to US USDELAWARE DELAWARE PARK Stanton Del June 9 This Saturday will be the third straight year that the Kent Stakes here will be run on me same aay as tne famous Belmont Stakes and it looks like the race at Stanton will draw a larger field since Native Dancer has cut down his opposition in New York to a hand ¬ ful When racing sec ¬ retary Gil Haus was asked why the two three year old stakes stakes conflicted he re ¬ plied simply Theres lave two tnree yearold stakes and Belmont has about four or five Last week they ran the Peter Pan so we would hit a sophomore race there Next Saturday we have our Leonard Rich ¬ ards the other race for threeyearolds No matter how we shift them there will always be a conflict Which is a situation becoming more prevalent every year The enormous amount of race tracks and longer meetings operating in one section force such collision of stakes for the same type of horses Most schedules are drawn up to avoid such meetings but there eventually comes a point where different tracks must tie into one another witness the running of the Delaware Oaks and BlackEyed Susan Stakes on the same day George D Wideners Evening Out was returned to New York this morning fol ¬ lowing a trip here which had hapless re ¬ sults The unbeaten filly
