Bobby Brocatos best races this year were a victory in the Paumdnok on opening day at Jamaica ,and a close second in the Toboggan at Jamaica. , 4 The only riders in this event, which shapes up as an intriguing contest despite the small field, are Atkinson on Hilarious and Bill Boland on I Appeal. The Richmond Hill field of seven is headed by John "Trader" Clarks Mabe Cee, an extremely fast filly, who more often than not manages to "get herself beat" by inferior horses. If Bill Boland can persuade her to stay on her good behavior she can beat such as Rosie, Spicey Story and Dark Belle, all recent winners, Kathleen L., Planetrix and Good. Morrow. Rosie beat Dark Belle in her last, with that Belair filly coming back to defeat Kath-leene L. and Planetrix.
