BATTY Staff Correspondent AK-SAR-BEN, Omaha, Nebr., May 27.— A race for two-year-olds, admitting non-winners of two races, and a route race of one mile and 70 yards under claiming conditions share the spotlight here tomorrow. The juvenile test is a dash of four and a half furlongs under allowance conditions and a capacity field of 12 has been entered overnight with six others to draw from in event of withdrawals from the original group.

This field includes Teddytoi, Two and Six, Mary Jane G., Teazle, Freda May, Garrymark and Mrk. Jean. Four of these appeared together on Friday in a race at the same distance requested in this encounter. Garrymark was best of the quartet, taking second money by four lengths in the wake of Taywin. Teazle finished fourth, while Mary Jane G. was fifth. Two and Six was farther back, finishing eighth in the nine-horse field. Although the meeting was only five days old Wednesday, Dave Mays Big Ox chalked up his third straight tally of the current session when accounting for the fifth race.

The Daily Double pay-off of 34.60 was the largest of the meeting. Forming the successful combination were Flagmiss, victor in the opener, and Pretty Sara, coupled with two others in the field wagering in the second race. Apprentice Celestino Dominguez was the first rider of this young meeting to register a triple in an afternoon. Dominguez won with Ed R. in the third race and took the last two races aboard Bill Boots and Grandpa Sam. The latter two raced under the silks of his contract employer, Jess Byrd.
