Reported to be a good grass horse. CELESTINO R. — Had some bad racing luck in last outing and may be capable of getting the money in ordinary company. BALLYNETTE— Was in close quarters last time to post or might have been a factor. Could possibly run a good race at a price. EBONY BEAUTY— Took a couple of purses at Oaklawn Park and raced wide in a start at Sportsmans. Worth following. RECLAIM — Bore out on the stretch turn in recent outing at Sportsmans Park or might have been the winner. BILLAGAIN — Was favored in most recent outing and failed to get going soon enough but was a fast-closing second. Keep in mind. CHURCHILL DOWNS WORLD SERIES — Raced disappointingly last time out but. continues to train well. Worked three-quarters in 1:16. handily, recently. IRISH SEA — Recently changed hands and is always dangerous when dropped in with ,500 class middle-distance platers. LADY MELIDA— Maiden two-year-old filly raced impressively in her debut. Is due for early graduation. FLEETBELLE— Was a trifle short when defeated by Big Winner last week. That race may be the tightener for a winning journey. MARK KLAINE— This useful plater comes from a well-trained stable. Recently breezed five-eighths mile in 1:01. NONNIE JO — Good stakes winner last season is rapidly approaching top form. Has been six furlongs from gate in 1 :14%, breezing. EPIC KING — This one-time stakes performer is razor sharp. Stepped a half mile in :4825, handily.

OPEN LAKE— Finished willingly after suffering interference early in a mile and one-quarter race last out. Belongs with ,000 grade platers.

Likely to win a maiden event over a distance of ground in near future. OLYMPIAS ACE— Tab this sprinter. Nfor he is capable of doing much better than shown in last. Allowance company would suit best. GREAT GRANT — Probably needed last, for has been inactive all year. A high priced claimer at six furlongs would seem to suit best. FELICITATION— Was probably best in last for was forced "to take up repeatedly and found racing room too late. A ,000 claimer at a mile or more would seem best spot. NASCO — This well bred colt may graduate at next asking for he was impressive in debut and should benefit from education gained that day.

FRACTICAL — Always dangerous when matched with the lower grade platers. Comes from a winning stable. STANLEY C. — Was a consistent performer at Sunshine Park chalking up some fast times at that oval. Has shown fondness for the local oval in previous years. JUNE STREET— A three-year-old shipped here from Churchill Downs by trainer George Towne. Will earn her share in the better grade allowance events here. THIRD ROW — Is reported razor sharp after racing at Churchill Downs. Tab in first local outing.

Look for trainer W. L. Passmore to spot him for a winning effort soon. SANDTOP — Should earn his share of purses at this meeting. Has been training well and will be hard to handle when matched with ,500 middle distance performers. CARDINAL SIN — A recent arrival from Churchill Downs and raced well against good company there. Look for trainer T. H. Stevens to score with him at first asking. RESERVATION— Has plenty of early speed and can run a distance. Should experience little difficulty in handling ,500 " company. HAMILTON OHIO VAPID — In tight quarters last out. Might turn the trick if he finds racing room. TODDYS PRBDE— In good form right now.

Working impressively and cant be denied the winners circle soon. FORT MIAMI BLAZING— Turned in a sparkling effort , in his lone effort at the local oval only to be beaten in a photo finish. A repetition of that showing may find him in the charmed circle next time out. ■ ROYAL FETZKO — Was outrun in the early stages in his last encounter, then rinsPrt with a rush at last in a splendid ] , , effort. Should he break more alertly in next he is likely to garner a purse. BARCLAY JOE— Turned in a commendable effort in most recently encounter and may have needed that race as a tightener.
