Exercise Rider Praises Phipps Queen Wynn says of High Voltage that, "she does everything just right. She is a good-doer and a grand shipper. Her disposition is wonderful too. She just does not care for too much fussing about her. Sure, she likes people, but if they pamper and pet her more than she thinks is necessary, she will show it. No, she is not what I would call a real big filly, but she is a racing type. She has never run here at Delaware Park, but this is a grand place for her. I have been to the tracks from coast to coast and I think the grass here is tops for grazing. Everything here is natures own. Pine natural grass for horses. High Voltage is ready for the Oaks, just a short blowout a day or two before that nine furlongs is all she needs after an easy gallop to acquaint herself with the strip." Tommy Wynn, of course, will not be on High Voltages sturdy back in the Oaks. Eddie Arcaro, the old maestro of the nations jockeys, is due here front New York to fill that important engagement. But Wynn, and Bart Sweeney, who tend the gray glamour girl around the barn, have done their share to inspire Mrs. Phipps champion to earn fame and fortune — and nobody will be rooting harder for her in the Oaks. " ,~*«r** - Donald Lillis, president of the Bowie club, was a visitor here yesterday, and admiring the verdant scenery seven miles of arbor vitae and a shaded paddock, said, "it is wonderful what one may do by way of landscaping with summer dates." He was en route to Baltimore, a fugitive of only a few hours from his Wall Street desk, for a meeting of the directors of Bowie. Indications are that the Southern Maryland plant soon will have a luxurious new clubhouse, and thatfthe next Campbell Memorial will have 00,000 added. The Campbell definitely "arrived" last spring, attracting Joe Jones from California, along with the winter hibernators, Fisherman and Helioscope. Its date is in a way comparable to that of the Kentucky Derby, enabling the club to bring together handicap performers who may not meet again ali year instead assiduously avoid one another. Indeed, it is easier, for obvious reasons, to bring together the top drawer handicappers in such a test than to stage repetitious three-year-old events at scale weights. Lillis only recently returned from a sojourn abroad, during which he visited sunny Italy and golfed in Scotland.
