Memphis Tenn. April AFTER a years
promising. The Conqueror III has conquered
and in doing so hung up n new track record
for a mile. cutting 1t down from l:it>l 10
1N fiat. The Montgomery Handicap Con-
ISOLATION was the feature of Thursdays rae
ing at Montgomery Park. Those not placed
in the original handicap were given five
pounds allowance. and the race had an at
tractive look. After short delay at the
post Coburn got The Conqueror away with
q running start and he went right 10 the
front and stayed there ali the way, winning
handily from Caviar. Brigade and a field OF
good horses. Larhspur, winner OF the Mont
gomery Handicap on last Monday, picked
up a five-pounds penalty. but WAS never
prominent and finished with the alsos.
The New Memphis Jockey Club offered
the public another excellent card, and this.
with the improved weather. brought an
increased attendance TO the track.
The first event went TO Dave Sammers,
br. c.. 2, by Hindo-Lsldy Beth. good
looking colt that i. Tom ,inson refused 500
for early in the year. He had a saell OF
sickness, bit has rounded We'll and has the
making of a good colt South Elkhorn WAS
the tip for this event, and after 10 to Was
chalked up against him and but little
money taken, his odds quickly receded 10 3
TO l. The colt ran out at the head of the
stretch and ruined whatever chance he
might have had.
In the steeplechase. Tonto was ridden by
J. johnson and was an easy winner from
Angus. Zernboanga and My Valentine, after
pretty race through the field without ac-
cident.
Bessie Mackin. the 1-to-2 favorite in the
last race. was easily beaten by John f.
Shorr's Silverdale il the fast time of 1:02
which is within a quarter of n second OF
the track record for five furlongs.
Horsemen here say that Charles W.
Meyer. the colt that won the Castor Hotel
cfsall -.ant . al. h,
was ever trained at Montgomery Park. J.
J. McCafferty offered John r. Schorr $1,000
for him before he went To the paddock, but
A. is doubtful whether $1,000 would buy him.
All things considered. the son OF imp. E,sher
ran wonderful race and is deserving Of
all the praise bestowed upon him.
