Railbirds Go For Ekwanok
Expected to Cut Bold Figure In Stake Ranks.
By EDWARD GALIANI Times Special Writer AQUEDUCT, N. Y. April 11— Peter H. B. Frelinghuysen, prominent sportsman from Morristown, N. J., had no intentions of enter-
ing the racing game when he paid $8100 for a full brether of Volitant at the yearling sales in Saratoga Springs last summer. He just wanted to give the horse as a present to his son Harry, Princeton graduate, who is taking a law course at Yale. But Harry refused the gift, so the elder Frelinghuysen has a one-horse stable at Aqueduct which promises to make the headlines quite often this season. Because Volitant had won two straight prior to the sales, his brother attracted plenty of attention and much spirited biddings. He was finally taken in by Mr. Frelinghuysen, was given the name Ekwanok, after a popular resort in New England, and turned over to Jack Goldsborough. Goldsborough now

has two sons of Display out of Flight Anna, in his care. The juvenile colt wintered well at the Twin Oaks Farm across the river, and since arriving at the Long Island track has caused much comment among trainers, clockers and stablehands. He is a rugged fellow and in tests has shown plenty of speed. Most trainers say he is faster now than Volitant was as a juvenile, Unlike his brother, which has only a small white star on his forehead, Ekwanok has a large blaze down his face that resembles a carnation. He is well-mannered, not the Volitant nervous type. Ekwanok has been named for practically all the major juvenile events at Belmont and Saratoga, and if he continues to display the speed shown so far, should cut a bold figure in stake ranks. Ekwanok made the clockers take
