♦ ■ j Balmoral Meeting ToGetTinkalero Triple M Farm Stakes Star Due In Soon; Manassas and Matthias Already on Grounds HOMEWOOD, HI., May 1.— Tinkalero, Triple M Farms Cinderella filly who already has accounted for four stakes this year, will join the growing roster of stakes stars daily gathering at Washington Park for the spring meeting of the Balmoral Jockey Club which gets under way on May 18. The four-year-old daughter of Bolero — Miss Tinka, who has successfully abandoned the claiming ranks, is due shortly with six other Triple M Farm runners for a Chicago campaign. Owner John J. Monaco, Chicago box manufacturer, already has six horses bedded down at the Homewood course under direction of trainer J. B. Dodson. Competing for ,000 as recently as last fall at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans, Tinkalero of late has developed into a near-unbeatable distaffer. Her latest victory was the Correction Handicap at Jamaica under 122 pounds, conceding from one to 12 pounds to her vanquished rivals, which included Calumets A Glitter and the hard-hitting Mile. Dianne. Scored in Barbara Frietchie Earlier Tinkalero captured Bowies Barbara Frietchie, competed spectacularly against the colts in winning the Abraham Lincoln and Burch Memorial, both at Bowie. Her total 1959 earnings based on four wins and four seconds in nine starts — she was third the other attempt — stands at 0,489. Meanwhile the thoroughbred population at Washington Park swelled to nearly 300 with the arrival of trainers Ed Carpenter, T. W. Kelley, John Zitnik, Wayne Opper-man and Bud Leppman. Kellys contingent Bf 29 was the largest, while Carpenters shipment included Belleau Chief owned by Mrs. Lora Birr. Manassas, John Zitniks perennial Chicago favorite and midwestern grass champion two years ago, also is stabled at Washington Park. He is best remembered as Swoons Sons conqueror in the Arlington Handicap of 1957. He also won the Stars and Stripes at Arlington that summer. The first two-year-old stakes winner to check in is William S. Millers Matthias who annexed a division of the Dinner Stakes at Gulfstream Park.
