SHUT OUT AGAIN
BESTS ALSAB
New York, June 8 UP) Equi
poise's chocolate baby, stretch
running Shut Out, put a stran-gle-hold
on the championship of
the three-year-olds today by add
ing the ancient Belmont stakes
to his Kentucky derby triumph
and once more making Alsab
"holler uncle."
Topping off a Belmont park
program from which war relief
benefitted by an estimated
$125,000, Ekky's sturdy son
poked his way in front a half
a mile from home and let Al
Sabath's Chocago hope chase
him all the way to the Judges
by three lengths.
It was Shut Out's second "big
one" this spring In races in
which his great daddy never
had a chance to run. Equipoise
took sick the eve of his derby
In 1B31 and never ran for the
big money In the blue grass
classic or Belmont's mlle-and-a-half
grind of which today's
was the 74th running. He died
more than a year ago, and this
spring his last son went out to
represent the old man.
He did it smartly In the derby.
And he had even more fun to
day under a smashing, heady
ride by wise Eddie Arcaro, be
cause Alsab was a 2 to 5 shot
In this one and all but a few of
the crowd of 29,812 customers
figured "The Sab" had it at
his mercy.
But Shut Out and Arcaro not
only won they did it Alsab's
way. They stayed far back with
Sabath's pride and Joy through
the first three-quarters of a
mile. When Alsab started to
move up, they went right along.
At the mile mark, Arcaro got
Ekky's kid on top and, holding
Alsab safe all the way, Just
romped In by open daylight.
A $9 to $2 shot, Mrs. Payne
Whitney's colt was caught in
the good time of 2:29 1-5, only
four-fifths off the track record
In picking up a $44,320 pay
check for this third "Jewel" of
the triple crown and, with his
derby "salary," Shut Out boost
ed his bankroll for a year-and-
a-half of racing to $136,197.50.
