► | Lincoln Fields Notebook " By J. J. MURPHY Distaff Outlook for Lincoln Sunny Dale Ready for Question Public Confident in Hill Gail HAWTHORNE, Cicero, HI., June 18/— If trainer Dwight Denham, can work the magic on the mare Sunny Dale Saturday that he did on Dance Nsing recently, we may have one from the distaff side winning the 0,000 added Lincoln Handicap Purse. Not in a long, long while have we seen such improvement as that displayed by Dance Nsing, who had not been in the money in her previous 10 starts this year. However, that old turf axiom of horses for courses, and courses for horses could apply in this case and last year Dance Nsing showed a smashing race over this selfsame track to finish second to Gushing Oil in the Peabody Memorial. This Denham is better than a country boy with horses. He made Sunny Dale win a couple of stakes during the winter, and has Dance Nsing and Hats Fiddle, the latter a two-year-old, victorious here. If we hark back to the 1930 running of the Lincoln we will find that Lady Broadcast won it, and it John M. Goode who was her trainer She beat Plucky Play that year and was truly a great race mare. The f ollowing season Plucky -Play caught another tartar in Sun Beau in the Lincoln. Personally, I cant see the recent winners of the Lincoln in the same league with some of the early victors, but perhaps that is like saying that John L. Sullivan was a better man than Jack Dempsey. I do know that racers like Princess Doreen, Sun Beau, Plucky Play, Myrtlewood, and Pigeon Hole impressed me greatly, but I cannot say the same of Kosadus, Seaward, Challe Ann, Dinner Hour, and Brolite, recent winners, or of Mr. Fox, Pur Sang, and Caillou Rouge, who have finished in the money. However, he may have a good line-up for the Lincoln this season. Bill Reagan and Vasco Parke will take entries at Hawthorne Saturday for the first day of the Arlington Park meeting. . .Jack G. Goode, who has been serving as steward here, will leave for his home in Paris, Ky., to wait the opening of Dade Park. . .Jockey John Heckmann will be aboard Adams Off Ox in Saturdays Lincoln Handicap... Jockey Willie Cox, who was injured during the Sportsmans Park meeting, was an arrival but will not resume saddle duty for some time yet... Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rhoads are visting here from Coatesville, Ind — Racing secretary Lawrence Bogen-schutz will leave for his Cincinnati home Saturday night. He will be back in this area for Hawthorne. . .Racing secretary Frank Kilroe flew to Santa Anita recently, remained one day, and flew right back again . . .The mare Little Milly has foaled a filly by Triplate, at Crown Crest Farm.

MURPHY Continued from Page Four Visans sold Ambrose Ace to Sidney Alexander and the filly ran in the silks of her new owner in the first race Wednesday . . Hoosier Havoc? a two-year-old son of Blenheim, will do with a little education. Sold for ,200 at Keeneland. Bonded Joe, the colt who beat him recently, cost but ,500. . .There seems to be some confusion in certain quarters due to the similarity of the names Mrs. Helen Reine-man and Mrs. Russell "Reineman. Mrs. Helen is the wife of Howard Reineman, and they raise horses for the market at their Crown Crest Farm, Lexington. Mrs. Russell Reineman is a Chicago lady who races horses in Jier silks and who recently acquired Whither. Howard and Russell Reineman are brothers. x The public seemed to be so confident that Hill Gail would win his first outing here that they simply "backed off the pace." They wagered but 6,828 on the Hill Gail event as against 44,195 on the previous contest, which was for three-year-old fillies. And they followed up the Hill Gail race by betting 26,000 on a mile turf race. Of course there was no show betting on the Hill Gail event. Hill GaiT looked very good indeed, and those studying the past performances for future reference should take that into consideration. The Calumet runner was "airing" at the end . We recently stated in this column that Arab Actress might be the best mid-western three-year-old filly of the year, and she proved the right to some claim when she, for the second time of the meeting, soundly trounced Mimi Mine. What magical power is it that Mimi Mine has over the players? She has been an. even money or odds-on choice in all her eight starts and has been beaten four times.
