Turcotte favors Diabolo NEW YORK (AP) Ron Turcotte, who has ridden two Belmont winners, thinks he knows what has to be done to win Saturday's 107th running of Triple Crown finale. "Anybody who beats Diabolo will get the money," said Turcotte, who has been on Diabolo for a workout but who will ride Just The Time, an outsider, in Saturday's test. He won the 1972-73 Belmonts on Riva Ridge and Secretariat, respectively. Diabclo, Frank McMahon's Derby winner who was third in both the Kentucky and Preakness, is the third early choice, a role he with Singh at 5-1, for the -Belmont. The early 2-1 favorite in a of nine 3-year-olds is John Greer's Foolish Pleasure, the Kentucky Derby winner and Preakness runner-up.

Mrs. Robert Lehmann's Master Derby, fourth in the Derby but winner of the Preakness, is the second pick at 3-1. Foolish Pleasure put in a final prep Thursday, going five- eighths of a mile under regular rider Jacinto Vasquez in 59 1-5 seconds and galloping out three-quarters in 1:12. Vasquez will ride the 1974 2-year-old champion and winner of 11 of 13 career starts from the No. 2 post, just outside Master Derby, who will have Darrel McHargue up.

The Preakness winner will be gunning for the seventh victory in his iast eight starts and a first prize of $116,910 from a purse of $194,850, if all nine start. He was not nominated for the Belmont and had to be supplemented for $12,500 $2,500 to enter and $10,000 to start. A $10,000 supplmental fee for the Preakness paid off in a return of $158.100 for Mrs. Lehmann. Post time is about 5:35 p.m., EOT, with television coverage by CBS during 5-6 p.m.

Diabolo worked five-eighths of a mile in 59 seconds and went out three quarters in 1:11 Tuesday. "And I didn't ask him for a thing," said Turcotte. Laffit Pincay Jr. will be aboard Saturday when Diabolo starts from the No. 4 slot.

Singh, owned by Cynthia Phipps and Hal Price Headley earned his shot at the Belmont by winning the Jersey Derby on Memorial Day after finishing sixth in the Preakness for his only loss in six races "this year. He missed the Ken- 'tucky Derby because of an injury. Singh will be ridden by Angel Cordero Jr. and start from the Racing entries, results from Shenandoah Downs FIRST RACE $2,100. 3 ft 4 EIGHTH RACE $2.400.

Also bidding to stay in the game was Vinny Giles, a Walker Cup star from Richmond, pitted against Steve Martin of Scotland.

He did it by rallying for victory over Mike By ED SHEARER AP Sports Writer CHARLOTTE, N.C. A If Bob Murphy's self-assessment is correct, he may be cashing a $50,000 check Sunday. "I'm a notoriously bad starter," said Murphy, winner of this year's Jackie Gleason Classic. "But I'm probably the best finisher on the tour." Murphy, a rotund 210-pound- er, had a four-under-par 68 Thursday in (lie opening round of the J250.000 Kemper Open Gold Tournament, leaving him in a tie for fourth place, three shots behind the leader, former PGA champion Ray Floyd, who carded a brilliant 65 in the hot, muggy wealher. "1 don't know why I usually start badly," said Murphy.

"I think it's a mailer of concentration. This was a fast start for me. My good start usually is 72. "I'd sure like to pick up 50 bills here and be on my way to the U.S. Open," he added, referring to the year's second major lest of golfing greatness, scheduled in two week.

"I haven't been in the lead in so long I might not get any sleep tonight," said Floyd, winless since a i the PGA title his third championship of the 1969 season.

Trailing by two shots at 67 were tour rookie Roger Maltbie. who rolled in two 35-foot putts and a 20-footer, and Bobby Mitchell, winless since the 1972 Tournament of Champions. He also putted well, winging a 20-footer and a 30-footer, and holed a (rap shot Ijrom 35 feet on No. 6.

And despite his victories and experience, he was anxious about his match with Grace.

Grace, on the other hand, was brimming with confidence after his 5 and 4 triumph over Billy Reid. 19-year-old son of a Trainer, groom deny charge "The important thing is to get your game right at the right time," said Grace, of Fort Worth, "and I feel pretty good."

The other quarter-finalists were Nicky Price, an 18-year- old Rhodesian and three Englishmen. Price was matched has suspended a trainer and a groom for 60 days after an electric cattle prod was found last month in their stall at the Pimlico Race Course.

Both trainer, Franklin J. Hendricks, 36, and groom Morris E. Gardner, 28, denied using the prod. But Hendricks admitted ordering the horse stimulated with the whip and Gardner admitted "touching up" the animal and Tractor-pulling contest set tonight at Speedway The mere name of the event conjures up a bizarre picture. The Mason-Dixon Tractor Pulling Championships will make their debut tonight at the Hagerstown Speedway.

And promoter Linn Hendershot guarantees that it's no joke. "Rural people know all about it," says Hendershot, who along with Jack Gunn, took over operations at the Speedway this year. "It's new to Hagerstown, but people who know about it know that's a tremendous thing to see." Basically, the tractor pull is like a drag race only the vehicles are pulling weight sleds down a 300-foot stretch. The tractors have unlimited horsepower, according to Hendershot. The Speedway is offering a $3,000 purse and over 100 tractors from nine states are entered.

The gates will open at 4 p.m. for an antique tractor puiling contest. The actual racing championships begin at 7 p.m. There will be 10 classes of tractors. Some of the tractors are valued as high as $35,000.

"They're built like Indy-type cars as far as carbura- tion goes," Hendershot explains. The event is being sponsored by the Washington County Tractor Pulling Association. Leading the local entries are Leon Price and Jim Kendall, both of Hagerstown. Both drivers have established themselves in national competition. The event will be the first of its kind at the Hagerstown Speedway.

Attempting to describe what the fans can expect, Hendershot says the tractors are simply "monstrous." against Mark James and Robin Biggs against Geoff Marks. Marks beat Craig Stadler, the 1973 U.S. Amateur champion from La Jolla, by two secretly bringing the prod onto holes in Thursday morning's the track. fourth round The horse, Young Sentry, a 3' year-old gelding owned by the Moshe Asher Stable, had been entered in the first race at Pimllco on May 26. Murray Hipsley, a detective for the Racing Protec- 'tlve Bureau, reported what he seen going on in the stall and reported it to stewards.

The horse was scratched from the race, and at a hearing the next day, Gardner and Hendricks were suspended a full commission hearing. Young Sentry Is owned by Maryland State Sen. Melvin A. Steinberg, Bait. and Alvin Akman, president of Local 692 of the Retail Store Employ- es Union, AFL-CIO.
