Chesapeake Gives
Preakness Lift
ar-..
; Sb
As expected, Laurel’s Chesapeake Stakes failed to add a
challenger to the Kentucky Derby field May 4 in Louisville, but
the Preakness received a boost.
Wheately Stable’s Bold Commander, who broke Laurel's
mile-and-a-sixteenth track record in winning the Chesapeake,
was not nominated to the Derby but he is eligible for the
Preakness and will be a most
welcome addition.
Not only is he a son of Bold
Ruler, who won the Preakness!
in 1957, but he also is trained
by the incomparable Sunny
Jim Fitzsimmons. What a fit
ting climax it would be to his
remarkable career, which he 1
announced will end in June,
when he retires, should he sad
dle another Preakness winner.
Mr. Fitz was not at Laurel
Saturday to saddle the regally
bred Bold Commander, but his
assistant, affable Alf Robert
son, was quite confident about
his chances.
‘ This colt is coming to him
self again and Hedley Wood
house knows how to ride him,"
Alf said a few hours before the
Chesapeake.
Plenty of Laurel Fans agreed
with Robertson and made the
colt a 9-5 favorite, and then
watched him romp home in
1:43%, two-fifths faster than
Greek Money last spring.
The Chesapeake developed
into an all-Preakness show be
cause the first four finishers—
Bold Commander. Hot Dust,
Pivot and Rural Retreat—are
nominated for the Maryland
Classic and only Rural Retreat
for the Derby

There is no racing at

time.
foaled in Maryland—all re
tired—have earned more money
than Nickel Boy. They are
Find. Social Outcast, Vertex
and Gallorette. Unlike Nickel
Boy, all of these were expected
to amount to something be
cause of their breeding.
Nickel Boy. at best, figured
to have a hard time making it
at the half-milers. Both his
sire. His Nickel, and Carickma
cross, his dam, were sold to
meat processors before Nickel
Boy gave any indication of his
running ability.
His breeder, Melvin Black
burn, underestimated him. too,
and lost him in a claiming race
'for SB,OOO. Everyone who has
owned Nickel Boy made money.
Eventually. Gluck claimed him
for $20,000 and has been most
handsomely rewarded by the
wrong-side-of-the-tracks geld
iing.
John P. Considine, who now
trains Nickel Boy, says. “There’s
no stopping this horse.
“He’s a stakes winner this
year and for the past three. So
we re not thinking of retiring
him.’’
His best years might be be
hind him but Nickel Boy could
become the leading money win
ner among Maryland breds,
although he will have a diffi
cult time overhauling Gallo
rette, who won $455,535. But
nothing seems too tough for
the stretch-running Nickel Boy.

Peugeot Home First
In Africa Auto Race
NAIROBI, Kenya, April 15
(AP).—With drying mud flak
ing off its sides, oar No. 65, a
Peugeot 404, sped into the Nai
robi control finishing point of
the East African safari just
before noon today, the first
to check in and one of seven
surviving can of 84 starters
last Thursday.
The Peugeot driven were
Nick Nowicki and Paddy Cliff,
both of Kenya.
‘‘No doubt about it,’’ one
commented, “it’s been the
toughest safari yet with almost
constant heavy rain and the
deep mud along most of the
route.”
Nowicki, 33, competed in all
except the first safari and
placed second over-all in 1962.
Mercedes Next
The second car in was a
Mercedes 220 SE driven by a
Tanganyika sisal planter, David
Lead, and a Kenya motor
sports enthusiast, Jim Card
well.
The order of arrival after
the Tint two was: Ford Anglia,
Peugeot 404, Fiat 2300, Peu
geot 403 and finally a Rover
P 5 driven by the only remain
ing overseas driver, Bill Bengry
of Britain.
Safari officials are working
out the places according to a
complicated formula, relating
the cars’ capacity, price, per
formance and penalty points.
Among those not finishing
was Erik Carlsson of Sweden,
riders will leave from Delray
Beach with its 20 horses.
Party of 46$
The departures will be stag
gered over three days with 147
contestants on each of three
chartered flights leaving to
morrow, Wednesday and
Thursday. Others in the total
party of 469, including athletes,
trainers, coaches and officials,
will be carried to Sao Paula by
regular flights.
The American track team
will be the final group depart
ing Thursday.
