For the third straight year the Ak-Sar-Ben Juvenile Stakes will be run in two divisions Wednesday afternoon. Carded as the fifth and sixth races, each division will carry a ,100 purse. The five-furlong event may have lost some of its luster, as two of the top juveniles on the grounds drew in opposite ends of the stake. The undefeated two-year-olds, Dog Fish and Gussies Dream, can now continue their unmarred records should they be able to handle their respective fields. The division of the Ak-Sar-Ben Juvenile headed by Gussies Dream and Royal Roy is carded in the featured sixth position on the program. Others in the field include Kin Win, Cold Taters, OTulip, Night Street, Bold Slip, Big Return, Brief Dream, Sis G., Rado Image, Guymon Lad and Lady Belden.
