Lakeman Benefit Scheduled

New York jockeys will take on top-ranked 5th grade basketball team Texas Titans in a benefit for rider Andrew Lakeman, paralyzed as a result of an accident at Belmont in May, next Thursday, 7 p.m., at the Saratoga Springs high school gym. All proceeds will go to Lakeman, now in rehabilitation. The event, organized by the Racetrack Chaplaincy, has already raised $5,000 apiece from such prominent owners as Lael Stables, Padua, Dogwood, and Darley.
