Tardado, Mexican Star, En Route to Fairmount 1950 Handicap de las Americas Winner Has Two Mates With Him HIPODROMO DE LAS AMERICAS, Mexico, D. F., June 16. — Tardado, a seven-year-old son of Rudie — Play Victory and one of the most popularhorses to race at this track, left Saturday for Fairmount Park. The veteran campaigner was accompanied by Dr. Jose Kaims Paul W. and Muzzle Loader, and in the charge of Leo Menendez, a Cuban trainer who is no stranger to horsemen at the Hlin6is plant. Tardado, winner of the 1950 renewal of the Handicap de las Americas, .richest of races here for horses of the older division, attempted to garner that event for the second time only a few weeks ago but, after leading the pack to the last furlong, weakened and finished fourth. Paul W., who was third in the 1952 running of the Handicap de las Americas, is the same age as Tardado and failed to get any part of the 1953 running of the one mile and a quarter event. It is believed the soft footing of the Illinois track will be of benefit to both Tardado and Paul W.t while Muzzle Loader, a four-year-old son of Bal-ladier — Owners Aboard, by Sir Gallahad m., who has seen little action at this meeting, is capable of handling any kind of footing. Muzzle Loader was one of the* better three-year-olds racing here during the 1951-52 session. He has raced but five times this year and was taken out of training in March after undergoing the firing irons. The son of Balladier has been in serious training the past month and should be ready for campaigning 10 days after reaching the Illinois racing grounds.
