Preakness Patter PIMLICO, Baltimore, Md., May 10. Mrs. Helen Kelloggs Come On Red has shown a surprising tendency to mix with the leaders in the big races — running third in the Kentucky Derby — but he- doesnt have much company in Barn J at Pimlico while awaiting the 00,000 Preakness a week from Saturday. The reason is a Do-berman watch dog named "Rinney" who 1 sleeps in "front of Come On Reds stall, 2 likes raw meat,. __3 does not like strangers. You cant blame Odie Clelland, trainer of Come On Red, hoReful for the 00,000 Preakness. on. May 19, if he" doesnt know whether hes coming or going. While Come On Red and a stablemate, He Will, train at Pimlico, Clelland is in Rhode, Island with a string of 15 horses,- has nearly a dozen more in training in New- York and a band of eight left -in Louisville for racing at Churchill Downs. Needles had some added excitement. Thursday morning at Pimlico.- A horse from a» nearby stall worked his way out under the gate webbing, excited another horse that broke loose from his handler, and both, went charging rouna and round the shed row. Usually such a happeningls dangerous -because it sets other horses jumping and kicking in their stalls. Needles came to the stall door; watched the loose pair charge by once, and, returned to his hay rack. Trainer Lloyd Lawson arrived, from Ken= tucky to take over the training of- Dino Lozzis Count Chic, who ran fourth in the Kentucky Derby. The colt will not race again until he goes postward for the 80th Preakness a week from Saturday. Count Chic conceded Needles two pounds in the 00,000 Florida Derby at Gulfstream and lost a close decision. He suffered early interference in the Derby, so trainer Lawson figures the third time around may be the charmed one. | Trainer H. A. "Jimmy" Jonesthe mayor of Parnell, Mo., and somewhat widely known as the trainer of Calumet Farms Fabius, is due at Pimlico" from Lexington on Friday morning to see his colt. He may fly up in his own plane, being" a capable pilot, but this hasnt been confirmed definitely.
