Bright Willie, in First Florida Start, Nabs Hialeah Stakes With Hot Finish - -- ■ — — ■ ■ — - --— _ - . .. ..- ■ ■■ Mdlvain Colt Scores Over Fans' Choice, American Wolf First Fiddle Gets Show Money; McCreary, Day Win Two Races Each By the Associated Press. HIALEAH PARK, Fla.. Jan. 17.— Mrs. R. Mcllve.in's Bright Willie, making his first public appearance since winning a handicap at the United Hunts last November, de feated a dozen other 3-vear-olds in the 6-furlong Hialeah Stakes here today. The colt fought it out with Mrs. A. F. Sherman's favored American Wolf all the way and finally out lasted that fellow by a half length in 1:12.5, thanks in part to one of Alfred Robertson's best rides. Sweep for Fair Owners. Mrs. E. Mulrenan's First Fiddle, making it a monopoly for woman owners, accounted for the show, a length and a half behind. All 13 starters are eligible for the $25,000 added m:le-and-a-furlong Flamingo Stakes February 28. Bright Willie earned purse money Of $4,950 and returned $10.90 for $2. As has been the case since the meeting opened four days back, the attendance topped the same day a year ago. Today’s count was 11,676, compared to 9.537 in 1941. While the field was lined up in the gate, an advertising streamer which had become unattached from an airplane overhead dropped about 20 yards in front of the starting point. It was fortunate this did not happen at the same time the horses left the gate. Bright Willie and American Wolf alternated in the lead throughout the thrilling contest, with the result in doubt until they hit the finish line. First Fiddle never was far behind and staved off Tomochichi by a length for third money. Two Riders Score Doubles. Veteran Jockey Conn McCreary, Hialeah's leading rider with six victories for the first three days, and apprentice Willie Day, who made a big splash during the early season meeting at Tropical Park, earned doubles. McCreary won the second with Sir Gibson, a $5.50-for-$2 favorite, and the seventh with Gallant Plat, an outsider, at $19.80 for $2. Day's double was consecutive. He started in with Spread Eagle at $12 for $2 in the third and then won aboard Button Hole, $5.20-for-$2 favorite.

Rossvan's Comment Selections for a Fast Track at Hialeah Park \ BEST BET—BRIGHT TRACE. FIRST RACE — TRUSTEE, OPTIMISM, MERRY RHYME. TRUSTEE finished fourth in her initial test after suffering interference. Natural improve ment expected in a first-time starter should have her the win ner. OPTIMISM is well bred and dangerous MERRY RHYME works well. SECOND RACE—OLD BOOK, HANID, SASSY MATE. OLD BOOK disappointed in her last after winning her previ ous test with speed to spare. Let's give her another chance. HANID has brilliant early foot and she’ll be close up all the way. SASSY MATE for the show. THIRD RACE — HUNTING HOME, AUGUSTUS, WHA HAE. HUNTING HOME has good recent form to recommend his chances in this wide-open num ber. AUGUSTUS has been threatening to lick opposition of this caliber. WHA HAE has been working well in preparation for this test. FOURTH RACE — BRIGHT TRACE, BRITISH WARM, CHARITABLE. BRIGHT TRACE won her last at Tropical in excellent run ning time and she may repeat. BRITISH WARM is at tops right now and he could force the issue from the word go. CHARITABLE just failed to click in his last try. FIFTH RACE—MY SHADOW, GREBE, BLOCKADER. MY SHADOW wins her share when matched with this caliber of opposition and she has worked well for this outing. GREBE disappointed in his last but he ' can do very much better. BLOCKADER has won three of his last four tries. SIXTH RACE — MAYBANK, SUN HERA, MISS CAR MEN. MAYBANK has turned in several right fair performances and she may improve enough to lick these cheap6ters. SUN HERA wen her last at the Gables strip MISS CARMEN just gal loped to cop her last at Tropical Park. SEVENTH RACE — SHEMITE, SMART, MARVAL. SHEMITE has right consist ent recent form to her credit and she scored at the recent Tropical session. SMART lost his last in a photo finish and he has worked weU since that show ing. MARVAL could complete the picture. EIGHTH RACK — SIR REG, HANDIBOY, MIGHTILY. SIR REG closed fast in his last test and he wlU like the long distance of the nightcap. HANDIBOY has been right there in his recent outings. MIGHTILY has plenty of weight up but rates money consideration never theless. i ► RIDE FOR CHARITY—These members of the British Army staff now in Washington will ride in the President's Birthday Horse Show at Fort Myer on January 28-29, helping to boost the fund to combat infantile paralysis. Left to right are Maj. Arthur Lyons, Capt. Gilbert Michols, Maj. Francis Jayne, Maj. Bramwell Davis and Capt. Peter Arkwright. Whirlaway Still Threat to Beat Coin Winning Mark This Year Despite Blackout of Santa Anita, Stakes Totaling $610,000 Are Open to Racer Br th« Auocited Brew. LEXINGTON, Ky, Jan. 17.—Despite the war, Whirlaway, Calumet Farm’s triple crown winner, still can break the world record for earnings by a single race horse. Only $88,063 shy of Seabiscuit’s mark of $437,730, Whirlaway was nosed out of a good chance to smash the record in one race in California when the $100,000 Santa Anita 'Handicap, richest of all of America's stakes, was canceled because of the war. Dan Mahany. business manager for Warren Wright's Calumet Stable, said he believed that if Whirly stays hale and hearty, retains his speed, doesn’t run out on turns and isn’t asked to pack too much weight, the son of Blenheim 2d could break the record this year. Many Chances for Record. Mahany prepared today a table showing that there were 51 races from April through November in which Whirly could compete for an aggregate of $610,000 in stakes, ranging from $2,500 to $50,000, with the majority around $10,000. Calumet doesn’t plan to start the 1941 3-year-old champion and triple crown winner in more than about 15 events. Mahany said Whlrlaway’s chief threat to the record appears to be in Challedon. which has won ap proximately $325,000. Calumet hopes its star can run his earnings <now $349,667) to a half million this year, but if he doesn’t there may be another year. After all, Mahany pointed out, Seabiscuit was 7 before he surpassed Sun Beau's record and Whirly has just turned 4. Challedon is 5. How ever. Whirly likely will be retired after this season. May Go to Hot Springs. Mahany said it was possible plain Ben Jones, Calumet’s astute trainer now in California with his flock, may ‘‘warm up” Whirly at Hot > Springs, Ark., before bringing him here to Keeneland. From here he probably will be sent to Louisville, then East, possibly back to Chicago and then East again. Florida isn’t being considered, Mahany added. Army Swimmers Beat Cornell, 45 to 30 By the Associated Press. WEST POINT, N. Y.. Jan. 17.— Winning seven of the nine events, Army's swimming team today opened its season with a 45-to-30 triumph over Cornell. Individual star of the meet was Arvid Croonquist of Army, a Junior from Augusta, Ga., who snapped his own Military Academy record in the 200-yard breast stroke event. He covered the distance in 2:32, 2 3-10 seconds better than the old mark.
