The Fort Dearborn, spotted sixth on the card, will bring out eight second-year racers and should certainly provide local racing followers with a further line on the local members of the three-year-old age division, incidentally, one of the best to campaign in the Wolverine State since the Michigan Racing Association began its operation at the old Fair Grounds in 1949. Robbins Rides Black Racer Under the allowance terms of the Fort Dearborn, Mrs. Daisy Sukundos William Tell, Thomas F. Devereux homebred Piparoo, and Black Racer, from the Mrs. George C. White and J. S. Tupper barn, drew high weight assignments of 119 pounds each. However, the apprentice allowance was claimed for Black Hacer, cutting his burden to 114 pounds, and young Bobby Robbins will handle the Tennessee-owned homebred Sun Again-sired colt. Piparoo started but five times during his career and visited the winners ring on three occasions. The Devereux representative, who will be handled tomorrow by Howard Craig, beat a fair field at Churchill Downs before transfer to Detroit, then scored impressively in the Cherryland and Continued on Page Forty-Four Eight Three-Yea r-QIds To Seek Fort Dearborn Piparoo, William Tell and Black Racer Meet in Detroit Sprint Continued from Page One Decoration Day Purses, both decided at six furlongs. William Tell, beaten off in his last appearance under silks at one milev and one-sixteenth, probably will find the shorter distance of the Fort Dearborn more to his liking. Previous to his recent defeat in the Lake Huron Purse, the Sukundo gelding annexed the eight furlongs Thumb Area Purse by a neck margin, coming off the early pace to whip Big Hearted, Piparoo, Alie-Ed, Golden Apollo and Mikeaby, among others. William Tell, a winner in Florida before transfer Norths will have the saddle services of Dick Lawless in the Tuesday headliner. Black Racer, lightly-campaigned during his juvenile season, won two of. his seven-engagements and finished third on one other occasion. After displaying early speed in the Coronation Purse here June 2, the White and Tupper colt romped to an easy four-length verdict in the six-furlong Flint Elks Purse, trimming such speedy rivals as Hit the Spot, Gulf Stream, Ama-bala, who ran a big race Saturday in the Rose Leaves Stakes; Jim Brier, Doctor Mc-Cabe, Lead Pad and Eternal Goin. Black Racers recent morning trials have been decidedly on the quick side and he undoubtedly will play a prominent role in the Fort Dearborn Purse running. Edward A. Carneys Big Perry and Arthur B. Hancock, Jr.s Shady Nook will make their local seasonal debuts in the Tuesday feature. Big Perry gets in with 110 pounds while Shady Nook will shoulder 105 pounds. Jimmy Breckons is engaged to handle Big Perry, also a homebred by Ocean Wave— Ethel Girl, a visitor to the Hialeah winners ring in February. Shady Nook, under silks in three outings this year, failed to score thus far but she turned in some unusually sharp works in preparation for her Fort Dearborn engagement. Completing the probable starting band will be Grace Kosibas Happy Queen, 114; Jack Adlers Oratory, no, and Carl M. Grahams speedy Kitty Van, 105 pounds. No reinsmen were named this morning for Happy Queen and Oratory, but Lois C. Cook, who lost the lead in the Detroit Race Course riding standings to Bobby Baird on the week end, drew the mount on Kitty Van, who conquered a fair field of sprinters here June 11 and successful ill three of eight two-year-old outings. Temperatures/reached a pleasant level here this clear afternoon and a crowd of over 9,000 witnessed the program, decided on a fast track. Stanley T. Greene, Jr.s Darlin Ann, a homebred Blensign-sired filly, handled by Howard Craig, made her first appearance under silks and scored a graduation decision over 11 other juveniles in the five-furlong opener. Myron Smiths Omaha-owned Royce, ridden by Willie Carstens, was a popular victor over a capacity field of ordinary platers in the six-furlong second event.
