J. MURPHY LINCOLN FIELDS, Crete, 111., May 27.— The Flossmoor Purse for three - year - old fillies at five furlongs was featured here today and the majority of the 6,741 in attendance were delighted when Blue Violin, who had been successful in one of her three previous starts this year and finished third to Fascinator and Queen Hopeful in the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs, was a slight choice over the homebred Jay Jay Gee. She performed as if much the best and won by three lengths from Swivel Hips, an outsider, while Cosentina was third. The winning price was .20 and Blue Violins time for the six furlongs on a track that was slightly "off" was 1:12%. Dave Erb rode Blue Violin for his second win of the day. Ten Starters in Race Golly and Resplendent set the early pace in the field of 10, with Blue Violin several lengths back as they went the first three furlongs. When the stretch loomed, Erb made his move with the favorite, and she was on the heels of the leaders as she approached the bend. Rounding the turn, Erb steered Blue Violin to the outside of Golly and Resplendent, and an eighth out she had her head in front. She met with no serious challenges thereafter. Golly and Resplendent toed, as did-Jay Jay Gee, but Swivel Hips and Cosentina were both going well at the finish. Cosentina would have been closer but for racing wide in the st retell The day started off gloomily enough. Rain was falling as the earliest of the patrons arrived, but it soon ceased and the skies cleared gradually until the sun was peeping through by the time the feature was run.

She was bred by her owner, Charlton Clay, and gives promise of developing into a strong contender for honors in her division. Ken Church was the winning jockey. The Daily Double paid 21.80 when Beaming "Light and Culture, a couple of outsiders, were home first in- the opening races. Beaming Light, with J. Ralph Adams up, took the initial encounter with over a length to spare from Mon Baiser, while Culture, ridden by apprentice Ronnie Behrens, got through on the inside of Last Request to win the second. Sugar Sue might have been victorious in the second had she had a better break in racing luck. She swerved to the inside at the start and was required to close an immense gap, but was going fastest of all at the finish. Mental Gymnast, an outsider bearing the colors of ex-Governor John Steele, made a runaway of the fourth race that engaged six horses at the mile and a sixteenth distance. Dave Erb had the five--year-old off in front and he was never less than two lengths to the good for the remainder of the trip. Mental Gymnast paid 6.80. Bright Answer, who was well backed, finished second. Hy-Patch, a two-year-old making his first start, graduated from the maiden ranks in the five-furlong fifth race.
