KATO of THE HORNET On Tap Today Those golf professionals who hope to play in the PGA Championship in mile-high Denver will walk the steep hills of Garrison, N.Y., today trying to qualify for the trip west.

Eighty candidates, including Wes Ellis of Westchester and Claude Harmon of Winged Foot, will play two rounds at the North Redoubt Club, built a few years ago on the old Bill Brown health farm acreage. Unlike the Open, which has both local and sectional qualifying plateaus, the PGA qualifies its field with this single, qualifying heat of 36 holes. Besides Ellis and Harmon, some of the other ranking players hoping to qualify in the Met-area today include former Open champ Ed Furgol, Long Island champ Pete Mazur, Westchester PGA king Paul Kelly, Ernie Boros, Al Feminelli, Terry Wil 4 TO i t-, to CO CO a Thomas' 3-year-old filly can make racing history by winning the lOOG-added coaching Club American Oaks, final leg in the NYRA's triple crown series for her distaff division.

Winans, despite his age, ii Eddie Hodgins, the clocker, who saw her real close for the first time yesterday in the dawning, said: "She's a grand made filly." And that she is. And the Thomases of Paris, who bred the filly-and who didn't think too highly of her at one time could have sold her for million last year after she started racing. "A fella from California had the check made out and said, 'I'll take but Mr. Thomas finally turned the offer down." A big smile lit up WTinan's grizzled face. "When she's through racing, she oughta make a real brood mare, too," he said.

mistake with her, She came to the 16th pole with a big lead and he let up on her. He shouldn't have done that in a race with so much at stake." ITS TOO EARLY in Furl Sail's career to even guess how deep an impression she's going to make in comparison with the class fillies of the past. As good as Cicada, who was just voted into the Hall of Fame? Perhaps. But today, and unless she's soundly trounced in the CC Oaks, Furl Sail, who was born to a Count Fleet mare named Wind-sail, stands alone as the only 3-year-old filly of '67 with any real potential for greatness.

"SHE'S THE best looking and best acting filly in the whole country, bar none," Winans told Lady Pitt's owner and a group of turf writer who also had come to visit with Furl Sail. "All she has to do is run back to that last race and I don't see how she can lose," Winans told the group. "There just isn't any way you can fault her.

She's quiet in the gate and comes out of it like a streak. She can make her own pace, or come off of it if she has to." While Furl Sail likes to get the lead and open up, most observers believe Jacinto Vasquez will be instructed to reserve the daughter of Revoked during the early running of the "Derby distance" event. THERE SEEMS to be a difference of opinion about how much Furl Sail had left when she went under the wire an easy winner in the Mother Goose two weeks ago. Tommy Trotter, NYRA racing secretary, told a VyfnTl Pa I1T7 1 reporter, "She looked as though she were weakening a bit at the end of the Mother Goose. But she certainly had he field outclassed."
