I WEIGHING IN By EVAN SHIPMAN Continued from Page Fifty-Two ble choice for tomorrows Diana Handicap, and Me, a three-year-old filly who scored a rather impressive victory in a mile allowance event for those of her age and sex yesterday. Both Valadium and Me underwent a uterine operation last spring that appears to have done them a great deal of good, but we are at a loss to tell you exactly what this operation involved, or how it has helped. In any case, Valadium and Me are two running tricks. Mrs. C. Oliver Iselins Challenge Me filly required 1 :40 to accomplish her eight furlongs yesterday, but it was the fashion in which she disposed of Howell E. Jacksons Ballerina and Green-trees Cherry Fizz that was impressive, the winner looking pounds the best and running over her rivals in the stretch. As for Harry LaMontagnejs Valadium, her recent score here over Gay Grecque and a good field at a mile was an excellent prep for tomorrows important Diana, the nine furlongs of which would once have been more than she cared to travel. In her present form; the chestnut Lovely Night mare appears able to get that distance, and the stretch-running three-year-olds, Sabette and Ming Yellow, will have their work cut out for them if they catch her.
