Endon Endon Accounts Accounts For For Peabody Peabody Prep; Prep; Islander Islander Scores Scores in in National National Stallion Stallion Outpoints Red Ace At Lincoln Fields Victor Sulks in Stretch to Lose Big Lead, but Comes On to Give Permane Double By J. J. MURPHY LINCOLN FIELDS, Crete, HI., May 26.— The Peabody Prep, that had its running here today as a prevue for the coming Peabody Memorial Handicap, was just one of those crazy races. After Endon, shipped in from Detroit especially for the event by Marion Vanberg, had taken a four-length lead on the stretch turn, it appeared as if the contest was finished. However, nearing the sixteenth pole Endon seemed to decide he did not wish any more work andjsulked and almost stopped to a walk. Red Ace, moving up on the outside, passed him at this juncture and seemed well on his way to victory when Endon decided to run again and he came from about one length back to be up to win by a head going away. All of which goes to prove that a horse race is never over until the wire is reached. Endon, a son of Challedon, was ridden by jockey Bobby Permane and he put-up a good exhibition to gain a consecutive riding double. After Wishbone H. had set the early pace in the mile and a sixteenth contest with Red Ace in second place, the Van-Berg runner passed them both. Wishbone H. tired, but Red Ace came again with the above result. Eighty Nine was the favorite and trailed until well into the stretch, then came fast and was beaten but slightly over two lengths for first place. Tyner, who had been unbeaten up to this point, was second choice but seemed as if he was overmatched in the company.

Dark Grier, a two-year-old gelding bred in Illinois by Mr. and Mrs. William Wiggins and racing in the silks of K. T. Beck-lian, graduated from the maiden ranks at the second asking when he beat a large band of juveniles in the third. The distance was five furlongs and Dark Grier, ridden by Dave Erb, got to the front early and was never in danger of being headed. The heavily backed Roman Senator beat out Jeffery J. S. for second place. Dark Grier, who is by Sedgemoor — Dark Lace, by Man ONight, paid 1.40. Jetts Kiss, a three-year-old filly who in 20 previous starts had never visited the winners circle, managed to click over Depth O. in the first race.
