(CP Wirephoto) Long Rest For Gomez TORONTO (OP) -- Avelino Gomez, the leading jockey in North America last season, has been set down until June 4. Gomez was suspended Tues- day from May 26 to June 4 by stewards at Woodbine Race track, who ruled that his mount interfered with another horse on the final turn of the seventh race Monday. Gomez's mount, Pine Point, was disqualified after finishing first and placed second. Meanwhile, Gomez had been suspended from May 15-25 for interference during a race at Fort Erie race track last Fri- day.

The runner-up in the Ken- tucky Derby was auctioned off for $2,000 in 1964. His three own- ers think so highly of him now they are paying $10,000 just to make him eligible to run Sat- urday in the Preakness at Pim- lico. In the family background of Barbs. Delight is a_ striking parallel to another bargain horse named Carry Back. Their mothers passed into the hands of new owners because of un- paid room and board bills. The mothers left a lot to be desired from an_ aristocratic breeding viewpoint. But Carry Back won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness and was the best three-year-old of 1961. His dam, Joppy, had never won a race and her only win- ning offspring was Carry Back. Joppy died the same year her colt was being crowned best of his class. RECALLS OWNERSHIP Barbs Delight is out of a mare named Flora MacDonald. Shir- ley Payne, who is_ training horses at Pimlico, recalls how he once owned her. Her original owner "owed me Barbs Delight Bargain For Present Owners asked me if we could call it)times for Payne when a friend, even if he gave me the mare," said Payne. "I agreed."
