THE BOOKIE - BREAKING NATIVE DANCER

MAY RUN AT ASCOT

By GEORGE WHITING

M.

Any day now Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, American millionaire racehorse owner, will be making a decision that could have our British bookmakers grovelling for alms in the gutter-assuredly a prospect most pleasing to all right-minded punters.

The news we await from Mr Vanderbilt is whether his champion four-year- old grey colt Native Dancer will be running in the valuable (£20,000 plus) and high- tone King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes over one and a half miles at Ascot on July 17.
