TORONTO. May 26 -(GP) - The 91st ninning of the King's Plato st Woodbine tomorrow is a wide affair with at least. six

One of the top driven at film- lkera Raceway. New York. is a young man named Stanley Dan- cer. Noticing his frequent wins we looked him up in the Uni- verssl Rating System for 1949 and found that he was only 193th on the list of drivers that made 100 or more starts. Practically all the Maritime drivers who .had any- thing like a worth while stable were ahead of him. but he has certainly been Sol!!! RN81 811115 this year. Up to last week he had produced eight winners in four- teen starts and has his heart set on winning the Little Brown Jug. the 560,000 classic for pacers that will be raced at Delaware, Ohio, in September. Minor Vic. I ?-hrG0- year-old chestnut colt is the one he is pointing for the Jug. He 15 the favorite of Dancer's eighteen- horse stable. As he says ll. "Mmm vie in my baby. He will do every- thing for me but talk." He LB staked in most of the big paces "this year. The Little Brown Jug this year and next summer and the Hamblctonian. that is the tall order the 23-year-old New Egypt. N..I. youth is aiming for.

But admirers at Yonkers say that these events are quite within his grasp as he has madels splen- did impression by CFO-55mg Eh? finish line eight times in fourteen starts. also copping a number Of seconds. two thirds and a fourth and being out of the money only once. Already he has the repulh .tion of being a shrewd driver and veteran pilots speak of his ability to get the most out of his horses. and also of his uncanny gift of starting well regardless of his post position. Unassuming and well mannered. he likes to talk about the house he will some day own for his wile and ten month. old son. "Everything 1 make driving." he explains "goes towards build- ing that house. I have the cellar built. already."

Stanley's explanation for his fabulous success at the new trot- ting establishment is that his horses are used to the northern climate. "I've got a half-mile track near the farm in New Egypt. and the ground there is soft and sandy. The track at Yonkers is slow and of course the weather has not helped to pack it down any. Per- haps that is why I have an edge trained on those hard and fast over some of the boys who have tracks in the south."

All in all Dancer looks like one of the com- ing young drivers, because youth is having its fling in the sulky there. He became the drivins darling of the patrons when no emerged on opening msht , I?- Yonkers as the only two time winner. scoring with Shooting Star in the third and Brave Song in the seventh. He came back on the second night to cop the daily double with Flying Girl and Schylur Hall and took down a couple of seconds with Don Pronto and Julie Castle.

The racing season at Roosevelt Raceway. Westbury. N.Y. opened on Monday. The stables were jammed with horses and every- thing points to this season break- ing all records. The racing will continue through September. the total number of nights being 106. Despite the meeting at Santa Anita the bulk of the good horses from the east and middle west are now quartered at Westbury. Many of them will shift to the Grand Circuit later in the summer but all have one thing in mind now - to get into the best racing shape at the best possible oval racing strip in the world.

Earle Avery. formerly of Wood- stock, N.B.. is now training at Rosecroft Raceway, with a large string owned by C. T. Black. Berryville, Va. He has five nice looking two-year-olds, all bred on the Black farm. Alma Direct trained in 2.13 before coming north and showed a quarter in 30 seconds. Her stablemate Betty French has almost kept step with her and there is not too much be- tween them. There are three others by Calumet. Fingo, two pacers and one trotter, Champion Fingo and Goldie Fingo have both worked in 2.15 with the last quarter in 32 seconds. But the most highly regarded is the two- year-old Calumet Fingo colt. Hedgewood Pingo, that worked in 2.12 some weeks ago and just re- cently defeated a good field at Harrington. Deleware. in 2.10 2-5. Aged horses in the string include Sarah Comet 2. 2.07 44., Major Hal 4, 2.04 16 and Jackson Dale 3 2.11 2-5.

Tara was put up at auction. along in 1932. She was one of the smallest harness horses ever fooled - less than 14 hands (58 inches) tall. Prospective buyers passed her up. Will Caton opin- ed he'd pay up to 5135. On "19 theory that any well bred horse is worth that much as a gamble. The auctioneer. failing to get my bet- ter offer. let Caton have her for 3125. Tara wouldn't trot for Caton. She paced. but only'occasionally. "She didn't seem to like me." re- lated CI.ton. ”As soon as she saw that I was in the sulky. she just put on a wild west show. Since she wouldn't do anything other than a brief bit of pacing, and needed hobbies. I decided to get rid of her. Paul Bowser. of Lexington. Mass. was looking for some horses, and I sold him Tara for 0475. I figured it was a nice deal - 3360 gross profit. Tarn took a look at Bowser and seemed satisfied. She went on from there to win 320,000 or 325,00 for Bow- ser-at pacing. One day Vic Fleming was working her out for Bowser without hobbies and the unpredictable Tara went into a trot. She trotted a full mile. She was a trotter after that and made a record of 2.00 at that gait. That just goes to show you that horses are peculiar critters."

The most remarkable brood mare in harness horse history was Margaret Arion, foaled in 1923, who died in 1945. She was bred by A. H. Cosden. of Southhold, N. J. and was by Guy Axworthy. out of Margaret Parrish. Her iilre was one of the great trotters of all time; her dam made a mark of 2.08 1-4 as a four year old, while Margaret Arion had a 2.10 1-2 re- cord of her own. Margaret Arlon was put into stud in 1927 and was bred 18 times. She had 16 foals. Her first, Protector 1.59 1-4. and one of her fastest. was sold for 31,000. Thereafter her foals had inaoasing value.

Major Smith, the man who de- veloped a senior relay team here last year under the Abegweit col- ors that wont undefeated in all four leading Maritime meets held during the season. will be using all the experience and knowledge of the game at his command to repeal? the performance again this year. It wasn't only the relay team. but the track team as a whole. who brought many individual honors back with them in Maritime com- Petltions last year as the result of his expert coaching.

Although inclined to want to remain in the background out of the limelight of the team's acuv. ltle-S. Major smith has put in a tremendous lot. of effort and time during the past few seasons in his work hf coaching and training the members of the track team, and is willing at all times, wheth- er ll: be early in the morning or in the evening. to go out with them and put. them through their Dares. He has had a wide exper- ience in that department. having coached 9. number of Army track and field teams during the recent war that won many Armed ser. vice competitions and champion- ships in Eastern Command and Maritime athletic circles.

The first scheduled workout of the team will be held at the Mom- orial Field this Monday evening at 6:30. and it. is the wish of the team management and coaching staff, to extend a cordial welcome to all interested, whether former members of the team or not, to come out and take part in the training program.

. . .

With two competent and emper- ienced coaches such as Messrs. Walters and smith on hand to give you the benefit of their knowledge and instruction, this is a great opportunity for any of you youngsters who have I you to take up the sport of track and field, to really learn the finer points of the game, whether it. be running. jumping, discus and jav- elin throw, etc, And what is more, there is nothing keener or more interesting than .triick and field in any line of sport, once you get into it.

EPSOM. Surrey, England. May 26 - (AP) - William Woodward. 74-year-old New York banker. may achieve his life's ambition in racing tomorrow.

For 5 years he has been trying to win the 1 1-2-mile Derby with a horse of his own breeding.

He may see his dream come true with American-bred Prince Si- mon - who has the same sire as Hill Prince. the Preakness winner.

Prince Simon. a big bay three- year-old out of Dancing Dora by Princequillo is a hot 5-2 favor;te to take the greatest British classic wt-iich is run over the tough. tricky Epsom Downs course of grades and left hand turns. Post time is 11.30 a.m. ADT.

Tomorrow's race will be the 171st running of the Derby and it will be the richest in its history. Twenty-five are expected to start.

First money will be 047,629. Second place will be worth 35,636 and third will be worth 32,818.

Prince Simon had his first work- out over the track this morning, ridden by his regular jockey,

Harry Carr. He pleased onlook- ers.

Only one American-bred-and owned horse ever has won the Derby.

That was Iroquois in 1881. His

owner was Pierre Lorrillard, to- bacco tycoon.

The Woodward horse has been made the favorite after starting out at 100 to 1.

At the final callover in Lon- don's Victoria Club tonight, the odds on Prince Simon went to 5 to 2. The favorite previously had been quoted at 2 to 1.

The oddsmakers shortened the price against LlAmiral from 7 to 1 to 11 to 2. Odds against Vieux Manoir shortened from 100 to 7 to join Castle Rock as third fav- orite at 9 to 1. Galcador shorten- ed from 100 to 8 to 10 to 1.

Sixth choice on the bookmakers' slates was Khorassan at 100 to 9. The others were quoted at 22 to 1 and up.

Prince Simon is expected to get most trouble from the fleet of French horses in the field.

Leading French contenders will be Marcel Boussac's Galcadorz Mrs. Suzy Volterra's l..'Amlral. Baron G. De Rothschild's Vleux Manoir and M. F. Dupre's Telegram Two.

Among the British-bred horses, the Earl of Roseberry's Castle Rock and Aga Khan's Khorassari are rated best.

Police are preparing for an esti- mated crowd of 500,000 which will spill all over Epsom Downs.
