COngratulations werd extend- ed to Ted. Scott on fbishing the'walk to Hayfield. He was sponsored by the Auxiliary. The 8 :30 draW was won by Mary Chapffti and -the mystery prize by Margaret NicNairn. The shedrow experts and non-experts have all offered their opinions on the outcome of the Belmont Stakes; the • general consensus being that jockey Bill Hartack gave Cana- dian'-owned Majestic Prince a bad ride on the New York ack. These opinions are tainted; Hartack isn't popular because of his hermit-like attitude toward EVERY:iDDY. Now the furlongs forecasters can have their day in court. They apparently are taking great delight in rapping Hartack. Undeniably, Hartack did not ride one of his better races ab- oard The Prince. He used poor judgement. Going around the clubhouse turn it was evident that Hat- tack•throttled Majestic Prince, forcing. the big colt into last place. At the seven furlong pole he got boxed in; with only six horses in a race this is • a difficult mistake to make, but nonetheless, Hartack was guilty. It is now history that Hartack didn't realize the pace would- 'nt have interfered with a rac- ing turtle. Okay, let's go back to the Kentucky Derby, Hartack took The Prince,wide on his 'first turn. That mistake cost him five lengths, • yet he still won the race. In The Preakness he didn't make any...glaring, errors. Both victories ovdr Arts And Letters were by a head or less. . Arts And Letters` is an excellent horse. Obviously jockey- Brauli,o Baeza is an ex-, eellent jockey. Obviously liaeza and his horse were not out-clas- . sed by HartaCk and The Prince. In how racing 12•furlongs, • like The Belmont, • is -the sup- reme test of horse and man, And horses arc nor at fall mat- "Mrity„tintil they reach the age of. four years. An immature horse, like . a mature woman, is unpredictable. . Jockeys with a Bill Hartack tem- perament 'are aiways'unprediet- able. Trainer Johnny Longden realized Majestic Prince is not yet ready for the 12 furlong test. Perhaps this great.colt will never he ready. At his middle dist- ances The Prince has dem on- strated he is king. This, horse had never been •beaten. He probably will never he beaten at tine middle dis- taneds. And it is just as proh- able that Inc will never win at •12 furlongs. After The Preakness it was Mkestie Prince Who was tired, not Arts And Letters. The Prinde was exhausted at the thrash, but it was Arts And Letters who-was to race again and win before The Belmont, The Prince did nothing more than sprint a few-times and munch on peppermints. Longden knew the score when he ordered Majestic Prince back to California to t rest, Owner Frank McMahon counter-manned that order. Na- turally he wanted a , shot at racing's Triple Crown. You could not fault his decisi6ne after all, few owners have such an opportunity. In The Belmont Hartack had his horse three lengths behind Arts And Letters at the top of - tile stretch. He was in cont- ention, if he has any run left in him. In the final two furlongs Arts And litters destroyed his . rival. There was no horse in the . ' land which could have beaten Arts And Letters in The Belmont. This colt ran the final 220 yards in the fastest time ever recorded in 101 years at the 13e1- mom Stakes, Arts and Letters was •the better horse on June Immediately railbirds be- gan to rap Hartack. Nobody said The Prince didn't have it, nobody but Hartack. At the post race -party thrown by Mc- Nlahon, Hartack's only cont- inent was , that Tile Prince, didn't have "it in him." Who else but Ilartack would he in position to know'? After 'all, he hail won on The Prince before when mistakes were made. If anybody would know it had to be Hartack. And Longden vindicated his jockey when lie remarked ;after the race "I wasn't riding him (Majestic Prince), Hartack vas tip there and 1 don't think 'he rode a had race."
