Citation Sets New Records Winning Race Albany, Cal., June 3 (U.R) Calumet Farm's Citation broke two world's records today in the $20,000 Golden Gate mile, travel ing the eight furlongs in an amazing 1:33 35 and becoming the greatest money-winning thor oughbred of all time. Carrying 128 pounds, Citation needed all the speed at his com mand in winning by a neck over the speedy, surprising Bolero. On Trust, veteran west coast campaigner, was third in a field of six. Citation's time clipped two fifths of a second off the previ ous world's mark for the mile, set by his stablemate, Coaltown, at Washington park last August. The victory was worth $14, 550. boosting Citation's earnings to $924,830. The old record of $918,485 was held by Mrs. Ethel Jacob's Stymie, now retired. Stymie needed 131 races to reach his mark but Citation's race to day was only his 36th. Citation had finished second Jin each of his last five starts, and there was some talk that the triple crown champion of 1948 was "over the hill." But the husky, five-year-old son of Bull Lea looked his old self today.
