Flower Bowl Romps to Popular Tally Brookmeade Filly Tops Silent One Apprentice Schwizer Guides -Victress Past Judges With Advantage of Four Lengths JAMAICA, L. I., N. Y., May 11.— To the delight of a ma jority of the throng of 21,739 here this not-too-unpleasant afternoon, Brookmeade Stables Flower Bowl romped to a four-length triumph in the featured Live Oak Purse, at one mile .and a sixteenth. Apprentice Albert Schwizer rode the daughter of Alibhai, who coasted to the wire before C. V. Whitneys Silent One, who in turn saved the place award by a head over Mrs. W. B. Blakemore n.s Princess Kiss. It was another three lengths back to Clara L. Ostrikers Elenem. Flower Bowl returned .00 as the third winning favorite of the afternoon after getting the mile and one-sixteenth in a sluggish 1:47. Silent One was first out of the gate at the start of the Live Oak, but was quickly passed by Esca. Lass, an indication that there wasnt much pace in the race, while young Schwizer was a couple of lengths farther back and biding his time with Flower Bowl. Elenem was in fourth place in the run down the backstretch, closely followed by Smarty Smarty, while Princess Kiss, as usual, brought up the rear. Silent One Takes Command Silent One took command at the three-furlong pole as Esca Lass began to fade despite a slow half in :49%, while Flower Bowl made her bid on the outside a little farther on. At the same time, Princess Kiss began to close ground steadily, but went a little wide turning for home. Once in command, Flower Bowl drew away with ease, while Silent .One fought on gamely, but was doing her best to save second money from the rather feeble challenge of Princess Kiss. Elenem just managed to take fourth money from the exhausted Esca Lass, while Smarty Smarty completed the small field. Though he had been away from the races smce October, 1954, Mrs. Jan Burkes Martyr was made the favorite for the West Acres Purse, in which the former stakes colt carried a 0,000 claiming tag. Evidently in need of the race, Martyr could finish no better than fourth after being in contention all the way. Woolford Farms Equableu won the dash by a length and one-half over Mrs. T. A. Randolphs outsider, Night Bell, who led Charles Russells pacemaking Royal Pate by another two lengths. Martyr was another two and one-half lengths out of the money. Ted Atkinson rode Equableu, who closed with a convincing rush and paid .20 after getting the six panels in 1:12%.
