Fleet Nasrullah May Contest Saturdays Los Angeles Cap HOLLYWOOD PARK, Inglewood, Calif., May 9. — Fleet Nasrullah, who made a triumphant return to Hollywood Park after nearly a two-year absence "Friday by winning the 2,750 Hollywood Premiere Handicap, will be pointed for the 0,000 added Los Angeles Handicap next Saturday. That was the word this morning from an extremely happy Jim Nazworthy, who won his first stakes race at Hollypark with Fleet Nasrullah. Nazworthy, added that a final decision, however, would be made later in the week after seeing the weights and checking with owner John Hertz. Nazworthy said his horse came out of the race in fine fettle and he complimented the ride given the swift four-year-old by Ismael Valenzuela. "I told Milo to keep lapped on Alhambra if he could and then go to the front if possible at the top of the lane. He rode the horse perfectly and everything turned out all right." For Valenzuela, it was his 16th Hollywood stakes win and his first since winning the Lakes and Flowers Handicap late in the 1957 meeting with another son of Nasrullah, Nashville.
