jMMfcf i . Arlington Park Notebook Farrell Holds Sir Mango in High Regard Both as Sprinter, Router By J. J. MURPHY I ARLINGTON PARK, Arlington Heights,, 111., June 29. Racing secretary Pat Farrell, who has been doing a good job of setting up the racing programs at Arlington Park, is high in his regard of Harry Eads Sir Mango, both as a sprinter and a distance ,, runner. He has allotted the steady-racing son of Gilded Knight top jMMfcf Poundage poundage in in both both the the? Poundage poundage in in both both the the? six-furlong Myrtlewood Handicap, to be run Saturday, and the mile and eighth Stars and Stripes Handicap, to be decided - Monday. He regards Sir Mango as being one pound better at the Star and Stripes distance on the turf than Iceberg n., who was was voted voted the the turf turf was was voted voted the the turf turf champion of last year and six pounds better than The Eagle, who holds the mile and a sixteenth turf course record. In the sprint, Sir Mango, a four-year-old, is listed to carry six pounds more than Hasty Road, a three-year-old. However, on the scale, Hasty Road is deemed three pounds better than Sir Mango as three-year-olds at this time of the year are given a nine-pound "pull" in the poundage over four-year-olds at the six-furlong distance. However, that is probably neither here nor there, as it is likely Sir Mango will pass up the shorter dash to start in the Stars and Stripes. We cannot recall Sir Mango ever having raced on the grass, but his works over that type of track have been excellent. AAA Trainer Jack Skirvin checked in from the East today with five horses, chief of whom are the two-year-old filly, Trying, a candidate for the Arlington Lassie Stakes, and Domquil, a four-year-old colt who last Saturday finished third in the Edgemere Handicap at Aqueduct.
