VIEWS OF SPORT Gung-ho Mongo By BED SMITH MIAMI There was bumping immediately after tKe start, then Will I Rule lugged in sharply entering the clubhouse turn, sawing Mongo off. Wayne Chambers had to check Mongo for an instant but the horse reached out quickly, clawing for mud. i He continued along the rail, running fourth to the middle of the backstretch, where Chambers took him I outside and moved for the lead. Mongo was on top. turning for home and had the rail again when Sunrise Flight hooked him in the upper stretch.

Forty yards! from the wire Sunrise Flight got his nose in front 1 but Mongo had one more move. It was worth 885,020 to Mrs. Marion du Pont Scott of Montpelier Farm, who was already indebted to Mongo for $509.749 and a trophy room full of hardware. Back in Barn the great Kelso dozed in Ms stall, having no interest in the 27th Widener Handicap or the critters contesting it on Hialeah's soupy bridle path. Maybe he should have been interested: he's likely to see a good deal of Mongo this year, and if! Frank Bonsai can arrange it he'll have a rear view.

THE YEAR'S first big Eastern stakes was morej than a close, exciting horse race won in fine time the margin of a head. It opened up promise of a' whole summer of entertainment for racing with Mongo taking over for the retired Carry Back Eelso's challenger for horse-of-the-year distinction. 1 Mongo, now 5 years old, was the American grass champion last season when he was in the money 12 times in 14 starts and wound "up by whipping Eelso on the turf in the Washington, -P. C. International.

Before the Widener. Bonsai, his trainer, had said this race would dictate future campaign plans. If he ran well on dirt, he would take dead aim on Kelso in a bid for national supremacy. If his per-: ormance indicated that he wasn't happy running on a peeled surface, then he would be reserved for grass races. An all-niglit rain continuing into Saturday didn't charm Bonsai.

Mongo had beaten Carry Back in slop in the 1962 Trenton Handicap but he got 11 pounds that day and his trainer wasn't dead sure he would cotton to the goo. Wednesday Evening. February 26.

Cincinnati left its Eastern' first-place hopes in San Francisco, where Chamberlain's 52 points paced the Warriors to a 117-lOS decision over the Royals.

I vx Kentncky Jng was last out of the gate, dawdled down the backstretch behind the whole field, then came around the pack and won by half a length with the odds on Alphabet weaving and floundering in second place. It was like hanging up a sign: ''Jimmy Jones is back." Not that the Calumet trainer has been far away, but several years have passed since he saddled a starter in the Kentucky Derby, Preakness or Belmont, and that is a crime against nature. Winning one or more of the Triple Crown races is an old Calumet custom; in 25 years. Jimmy and his late father, Ben, accounted for 16 of "em.

Now. in addition to Kentucky Jug. Jimmy is honing a colt named Kentucky Pioneer for the big 3-j ear-old clambakes. In other words, there are two of "em. Take to the hills, men.
