Arlington Park Notebook Sir Mango Expected to Seek Sixth Straight Win in Stars and Stripes By J. J. MURPHY- - ARLINGTON PARK, Arlington Heights, HI., June 26. It is probable that Harry Eads good four-year-old Sir Mango, winner of three stakes at Lincoln Fields, will make his next appearance in the Stars and Stripes Handicap on Independence Day. Ill!..,. Trainer Charlie Eads has been sending the colt slow distances in exercise moves and he galloped two miles Saturday morning. Incidentally, Charlie is the lesser known of the Eads brothers. He had great success in conditioning Sir Mango, although he is a comparative newcomer to thoroughbred racing. His horse experience until about six vpnrs ago was with trotters and pacers. Brother Harry then prevailed upon him to take over some runners. Charlie has kept Sir Mango at a superb level and the colt, always a steady goer, is unbeaten in his last five starts. His three successes at Linccln Fields brought slightly over 9,000 into the coffers of the stable. And many are of the opinion that Sir Mangos most brilliant successes lie in the future.
