B. Stutz Wilshire, led all the way last night to capture the feature race at the Key West Kennel Club over a blue ribbon field of thoroughbreds including Honest Buddy, Joy Street and Avenger. i Although Avenger was a heavy favorite with the fans, he ran a disappointing fourth to finish out of the in his action at the Stock Island layout. A late — start was the cause of his poor performance. Wilshire came in with the vic- tory over Honest Buddy and Joy Street, who finished second and third in that order, in the credi- table time of just 31.4 seconds. He paid 7.80, 3.00 and 2.80 while Honest Buddy, who fought all the. way, paid 7.20 and 3.40. Joy Street, who finished like a whirlwind and looked as though he might come in a winner at one point in the stretch, returned 8.00 to show. Racing fans received a bonus last night in the fourth race when Colette and Modern Age came in one-two to ry a whopping Quin- iela of 190.80, The Daily Double, Damocles and Spring -Festival-paid 53.20. Tonight's feature, the Key Am- bassador Stakes. will see a ban- ner field competing for a beauti- ful loving cup donated by Archer Hunt, manager of the Swank Key Ambassador Motel. The race, at this point, shapes up as a three way duel between Breezemont, Melody Sis and Keen Kut, although the remaining five jdogs should all pose threats in the race. Breezemont finished a good third in his. last outing to such dogs as Really True and. For- ward, while the other two con- tenders have both shown well to date. The balance of the field will be made up of Foot Hill, Jack O’Lish, Joyous Miss, Tumble Time and Vendome. ‘ Post time tonight is 8:15. verne Roach, 156, in the eighth roynd at Madison Square Garden.
