The daughter of Woodchuck — Rhinestone, by Royal Gem II coasted to the end of 5 furlongs in :59. on a track that had- dried to fast, six lengths before Carmen L. Bertazons Vir-Marie. who finished fairly well to take second honors by a length and a half over John C. Clarks odds-on choice, Erian. The field was completed by Myron N. Goodwins Penny a Pitch, a first-time starter who was unable to keep pace. Eddie Arcaro completed a consecutive triple on Lawdy Claudy, who returned .60. .40 to her admirers in the crowd of 21,364 that turned" out in sunny weather. There was no show wagering. Erian, who had scored impressively for her debut on Monday, came on tha track appearing somewhat ouchy and finished in style suggesting that she may have bucked her shins for the third time.

It was another couple of lengths back to Penny a Pitch and Vir-Marie. who raced as a team for a quarter mile. Lawdy Claudy widened her lead rounding the far turn without being urged, while Erian was already under pressure in an effort to keep pace, but seemed to have i lost her smooth action, j Lawdy Claudy_ sailed into the- stretch ■several lengths in the van and drew out with every smooth, ground-devouring stride, while Erian was unable to withstand the belated rush of Vir-Marie, who had won her only two previous start in Maryland, but had carried a ,000 claiming tag last out. Eddie Arcaro scored a consecutive -double in the races preceding the Rosedale. taking the fourth event on Mrs. Ben F.
