"B- 1KD65 Waieh Win 1 1 1 rmrw' niliaMMM mm mm mesmmm MkBpn Flash; ISotz Elides Spe Triple By Gene Ward Saratoga Springs, Aug. 1 Bold Hour, another of the top 2-year-old offspring of Bold Ruler, today won the Flash Stakes before a record crowd of 18,065 at Saratoga and provided John L. Rotz with the valuable middle link of a riding triple. DBoBcH JLad Is Through ft a t-J to Saratoga, N.Y., Aug 1 Wheatley Stable's Bold Lad, who came smashing back this season to win four of five starts, is through as a racehorse, it was announced here today by Ogden Phipps. "We just didn't like his 'work' this morning," said Phipps, speaking for his mother, Mrs.

Henry C. Phipps, mistress for Wheat-ley, "and we can't take any chances with him, so he's going to stud." BOLD LAD WAS THE JUVENILE champion of 1964, but came up with bone chips in his right knee early in his 3-year-old campaign, which led to an operation. His only time out of the winner's circle this year was in his most recent start, the Suburban, July 4, when he didn't show his usual form under 135 pounds. The bad 'work' this morning convinced Phipps and his trainer, Eddie Neloy, that immediate retirement was called for. Bold Lad will stand at Claiborne in Kentucky at a fee of $10,000 for a live foal, but there will be no rush to unwind him in that he will not go to stud until the season of 1967.

Gold scored the one-title knockoff in a decision upholding the State Athletic Commission's rule that bars a fighter from The George D. Widener colt won by 2 lengths despite apparent interference at the head of the stretch by second-finishing Hermogenes. ANGEL CORDERO, aboard Hermogenes, seemed to be whipping his mount all over the lot and in the process slammed his horse into the odds on favorite. However, the collision only served to inspire Bold Hour to pull away from the traffic. Great White Way, the morning line favorite, was scratched frm the Flash early in the afternoon due to a cough and the record throng bet Bold Hour down to 4-5, The mutuel payoffs were $3.60, $2.40 and $2.20.

HERMOGENES, THE second choice, had six lengths on the rest of the field of 2-year-olds and paid $2.60 and $2.40. Curzon, who led Fort Drum, Gallant Moment and Voyager home, was $3 to show.

Asked if he had any preference as to which title to retain, Clancy replied: "If we have a choice, we'll take the middleweight crown, but that is something we'll have to talk over with our attorneys." JUSTICE GOLD, in explaining his decision to uphold the ruling, contended that "the rule was neither unreasonable nor arbitrary. He also said that since the rule was adopted champions have abided by it and that the commission's legal papers "clearly indicate its necessity to insure active competition in the sport, to promote safety and to avoid confusion." Ironically, Griffith was one of the most active welterweight champs in recent times. He had defended three times in the space of nine months and had another defense scheduled for Sept. 30 against Kitten Hayward. petitioner (Griffith) of welterweight champion was a privilege given to the petitioner by this state through the boxing commission.

Griffith had petitioned the court to allow him to hold both titles. Shaken but not kayoedby the one-two punch of the commission and court, Griffith and his manager, Gil Clancy, plan to discuss further action with their attorneys. Clancy expressed dismay, saying: "We feel Emile won the record of 1:40 3 5 for 1 116 miles furlongs in 1:26 this ayem, is next on the turf course.
