FHEELAND IIS CLASSIC First Place in Preakness is Taken by Favorite at Pilmlico Track PILMLICO RACE TRACK, Mr., May 10 (AP) Dr. Freeland, most favored of the eleven start ers in the Preakness, climax of the Maryland racing season, fought clear f besetting difficul ties tolay to win and enrich Wal ter J. Salmon, of New York, by $52,325. Dr. Freeland's time for the mile and three sfxhts was 2: 01 3-5. Watched by national celebrities of sporting and political life and thousands of others attracted by the feature race, the Salmon colt wore down Charles Graffagnini's Minotaur and finished the mile and three sixteenths grind a lenghth ahead. Another Ienghth behind Minotaur came African, the R. T. Wilson, Jr., colt cou pled with Dr. Freeland in the en tries, while The Nut, bought this spring by Warm stable, took the four place share of the added mo ney, leading by half a length his former mate in the Harry Payne Whitney stable, Beacon Hill. Of the four money horses, all but African are candidates for next week's classic, the Kentucky derby, and by their showing today established themselves as threats in that race. Dr. Freeland not only enriched his owner, but also supporters in the betting, returning to them $9.70 for every $2 mutual ticket in which they invested. The show ing which experts predicted on the basis of Dr. Freeland's breed ing as son of Light Brigade and Toddle, which came from another line of speedy runners, and the coupling of the Salmon and Wil son entry, however, cut down the mutual prices by attracting so much favor and the better invest ment at mutual windows was on Minotaur to place, resulting in a return of 111. 40 on a $2 ticket.
