The Washington herald., 1906-11-28

Form players at Benning were badly
worsted yesterday, when upsets came in
four of the six races, and one Of the
winning favorites was held at such a short
price that bundles OF money was wagered
on all Of the others for place and show.
The other first choice that won was rather
lukewarm among the groups Of layers.
and the picking was unusually poor for
the talent.
Society Bud gave the public the first
shock when she led the big field nearly
the entire seven furlongs and the favor
ite, Hooray, was outrun from start to
finish. Three horses-Hooray, Chippewa,
and Kings Gem-rated around 3 and 4 to
/, but toward the close Of the market
Hooray was cut to IS to 5. It was a hard
field from which to select a probable win
ner. and most everything on the slate got
some sort of support. Phil Chinn, the
Western hOTseman, engaged Miller to ride
Kings Gem, and on the strength of this
Kings Gem was opened an equal favor
ite with Hooray. at 3 TO 1. Society Bud,
here, was so neglected that she went up
in the speculation from 40 to co to 1, with
only few dollars wagered here and there.
Reidmore. who races well in this section,
was given some support. especially from
the friends Of little Jockey Noone. who Is
a Washington boy, and who made his
first appearance in the saddle at this
meeting
The field was hard to get of, but when
the barrier was released Society Bud
showed in front on the outside of the
track. and with the exception of a furlong
on the backstretch. raced out all the way.
Anna Smith was in close pursuit. and
Cinehons was well IN with the pair
Reidmore showed a flash Of speed for half
mile, but stopped in the stretch. Society
Bud was hard pressed until well turned
for the run home. when she drew away
from Anna Smith and had two lengths the
best OF it, with Anna Smith half length
in front of Cinchona. Miller drove
Kings Gem through the stretch, but he
could not get closer than fourth.
OddS-on FavOrite Wins.
James r. Keene's Cabochon was pro
hibitive favorite in the second race. with
Narelle next in the market The rest of
those carded 20 start did not figure better
than l5 to ! to 50 to I. Miller wore the
Keene silks, and when the field got of
+ Pierrot set out for the pace with Blue
Book and CabOchon close 10 the leader
These three turned into the stretch
/ lengths in advance Of their company, but
Miller let the favorite down a furIong
out, and he came away and won handily.

any speed and finished fourth. fifteen

iected Red Knight to capture the third

in that race, complained Of foul riding OF
