Stanley Dancer at 24 is (ht- ynungcst of Anieriva'ii outstanding trainer-driicrs. Last season he was leading driver at Yonkers and for a while this season has been leader at Roosevelt. His formula is to get in front and here is the way Stanley puts it. . ' "i know I have bccn crit- lf'iZ('(l for my technique fo- hustlirig my horses to the front early in a contest. My critics say that rushing my horse into the lead at the outset cnuscs him to tire and to be beaten -- and sometimes this happens and probably zrm dcfcaieti with the best horse. But going to the from early is my formula for over- coming bad racing luck. i feel that when a horse of mine is on top he avoids spills and act-irlen': and it" gels the racing room ll!" rcriuirl-s to display his bcsf. speed. He suffers less chance of being boxed in try other horses and he doesn't lose valuable time around the turns in passing horses. in short, I try to take the shortcsi path to the finish"
