a Legal Looter, Gay Skipper Clash Tonight In Chuck’s Handicap Race Lilac Lady Gains Win In Friday’s Feature Race Overseas Kennel’s Legal Looter and Fleet Wing Ken- nel’s Burning Bright will clash tonight in Chuck’s Handicap at the Key West Kennel Club with both of the Grade One greyhounds out after their eighth win of the meeeting. Legal Looter, after an im- pressive start this season, was acclaimed one of the top greyhounds at the track, but he has failed to win in his last four outings a)- though he has been in the money twice. Burning Bright has won three of his last six races, She holds the distine- tion of winning over Com- stock, currently the ranking competitor et the Kennel Club. A big threat, however, will come from M,. W. Fagg’s Gay Skipper, who captured a victory over Legai Looter only last Wednesday. He circled the 5-16 mile distance in Just 31 seconds in gaining his sec- ond straight win at that time. And Sam..Baxendale’s Recond- tioned, who has won three of his four official races: at the track, a newcomer making his first Grade One start, will bear watching. He placed third in the only race he did n't win. Other entries in the feature to- night . include Fred Whitehead’s Smart Design, Manuel Foster's! Irene Hill, F. B, Stutz’ Noir and R. K. Hutching’s Let’s Goby. Tonight's program offers a bonus in another Grace One race, the ninth. Key West Kennel Club Results Winner—Jack Ortner’s Brindle B., Sept., 1951.
