Park Sprint Feature Both Two-Time Winners at Meeting; Colonels Image Likely Threat to Twosome By BUD LYON HAZEL PARK, Mich., June 26. — A pair of two-time winners at the meeting, coupled as the William A. Zakoor -and JMitchell Andrews entry, top the field for Thursdays featured Grand Boulevard Purse at six furlongs. The dash has been fashioned for three - year - olds of the ,500 claiming variety and has -attracted a near full field of nine representing seven interests. The formidable pair in the Grand Boulevard are Precious Pet and Colonel Art and off their recent form indications are that they will hold forth at a very short price. Precious Pet won her last while defeating four members of Thursdays field, Royal Nip, Real Rough, Duntreath Tint and Mr. Rafferty. The speedy daughter of Bull Moose — Esther Canaan was all out to register by just a neck with her time over a heavy racing strip being 1:18%. In her prior start, she won easily by nine lengths over Jeans Love with the going being slow and her three-quarter time 1:16%. Colonel Arts recent form also is sufficient to make him the choice here, for in his last he won a starter allowance race at a flat mile in a clever fashion while stepping the distance over a fast track in 1:42% while leading from beginning to end. The altered son of Colonel OF — Artless registered his other win of the meeting late in May when he turned back a field of ,000 claimers at six furlongs. The Andrews colorbearer came from off the, pace that afternoon to win by a- decisive Continued on Pago- FHiyThrs* . 1 Precious Pet-Colonel Art Entry Choice in Hazel Park Sprint Continued from Page One three and one-half lengths while reaching the end of three-quarters in 1:15%. Dan Logans Colonels Image figures to give the top pair a bit of trouble, although he was beaten by Colonel Art in his last start. However, prior to that he won two in a row, the first on opening day when he scored in a three-quarter mile dash over a heavy track, winning in hand with his time being 1:22. The Ky. Colonel colt followed that up with another purse winning effort while turning back a field of ,500 claim-ers at three-quarters in the fast time of .1:14%. Coupled in the wagering with Colonels Image will be Cliff Bourland, Jr., and Dan Logans Mr. Rafferty, who failed to impress in his one start here to date. L. Fruchtmans Garys Star accounted for his last while handling ,000 claiming company over six furlongs. The Fleeting Star gelding registered by two lengths that afternoon while stepping the three-quarters in 1:15. While Garys Star is stepping up in company somewhat Thursday, he still may be improving sufficiently to handle this type for in his only other start of the meeting he caught a very rough track on opening day and could finish no better than third, some 15 lengths back of Colonels Image. Arrayed against these will be: W. Salisburys Real Rough, L. C. MacGregors Pontchie Gal, M. H. VanBergs Duntreath Tint, and Waldo D. Andrews Royal Nip.
