Invaders from New York are expected to make up at least half of the field to contest Saturdays twentieth running of the 5,000 added Leonard Richards Stakes. Most recent and most noteworthy addition to the line-up for the mile and one -eighth affair is Greentree Stables Pop Corn, the Nii-gal Discovery colt who scored an impressive eight-length victory at Belmont Park Tuesday afternoon.- In announcing that he would ship Pop Corn here for the event, trainer John Gaver also advised Delaware Park officials that he had secured the saddle services of Joe Culmone, who is currently riding at peak form. Pop Corn, who was beaten a nose by Commendation at seven furlongs in his only previous outing this year, was credited with time of 1:43 for a mile and a sixteenth Tuesday, and it was apparent that he could have shaved a bit had he been fully urged.
