The news-democrat. (Providence, R.I.) 1906-1909, 1906-09-17

and with IL the campaign or lHh
Four weeks more OF the hardest anC
fastest sort OF racing, and the first fiigh
uotters and PAGERS will scatter for theil
winter quarters.
This week the circuit flyers are az the
toboggan slide located IN the capital OF
Ohio: next they will be al oakley in
the suburbs of Cincinnati. then they viii
go on 10 Lexington for what promises %
be the most brilliant speed carnival that
has ever marked the ending OF a season.
Considerable turf history worth remem-
bering should be made this week at Co
lumbus where the management has pro-
gram of some 20 races with most every
system except the Readville dash. I'm use.
The footing at Columbus ranks with the
fastest in the world and last year the
horses raced over II as II shod with
winged shoes
Audubon Boy and Sweet Marie are both
20 he sent miles I'm competition with
father time. and after their performances
at Syracuse sensational feats are expect
ed The chestnut whrlWnd from the
Granite state should be up 10 a mile bet
ter than his record. and IL would not be
surprising II he establishes a new mark
for a harness horse I'm regular trial
against time.
Audubon Boy has achieved his great
ness under the most adverse conditions.
An ailing leg has made his training a
difficult matter. In fact It has prevented
him from getting the kind of prepara-
tion considered necessary for a horse 10
60 In two minutes. Yet he has accom-
plished the feat and took the word as lit
as any horse could be got.
The grand work came near to going for
naught, however. as he was handled In
the mile with the least Judgment ever
used in a championship performance. His
owner realizes this and has set about
10 make amends
That he bids fair 10 succeed. the miles
OF last week show Should Gatcomb be
able 10 bring Audubon Boy TO the word
as good as he was al Readvlle last fan
a new worlds record will go down on
the books.
Sweet Marie has no racing engagement
at Columbus. having been kept out OF the
fast trot with the understanding that she
would be given a sum equal to first
money IL she lowered the track record
for trotters now held by Croesus az 2:o2t4.
This Alta Mcdonald thinks she will sure
1y do, and after her two great miles at
Syracuse this belief is very general.
This is TO be the mares last season on
the turf, and Mcdonald has hopes OF
driving her mile at Lexington along
the last OF the meeting faster than any
other trotter has yet gone without the
wind break or dirt screen
Perhaps the race at Columbus which |
holds the post OF honor IS the 3-year-old !
trotting division OF the Kentucky stock
farm purse. In the field expected to score
will be Cochato, Ed Custer and Gov.
Francis. Here are three wonderful stall
lions. each one capable OF lowering the
race record for the age, sex and gait, and
with good day and track one Of them
Is liable to turn the trick
The race, IL II IL between these three.
Will have a decided flavor OF New Eng
land, for Cochato was bred and is still
owned here, while ED Custer Is a grand
son OF our great sire, Baron Wilkes. and
Gov. Francis was begot by Aron while
the $4,000 horse was the property of the
Tlate j. Malcolm Forbes.
On public performance Cochato is the
fastest member OF the trio, and IL he
would attend to racing instead of jumping
of at the least excuse would take an
awful licking before losing the money
Gov. Francis has worked a mile I'm 2:1O2.
fbut he. too, has the running habit and
IS likely to get shut out at any time Last
week he handed the big chestnut colt
ibeating In 2:i2lR. very fast for the track.
Still Ed Custer should carry the public
money. for he Is always on a trot and at
Readville showed he had about as much
foot as anybodys colt.
