Claimed after winning at Sam Houston in March, AMERICAN LEAGUE gave notice he was ready to score for new connections when only beaten a head by Spoon Boss here two weeks ago, though a further drop in distance is not necessarily a plus. Wild Drive is much better than he showed in that contest but is having a first run for David Anderson. Trask hasn’t really improved on a second here three runs ago but Buster Brown Boy came right back to form at Turfway Park in March and Magnanimus Man and Gone Preachin are both recent winners.
