The Washington herald., 1907-03-28

the Washington Jockey Club Ter the third
day of its meeting at Benning.
In three of the races the fields we're
small, one having four horses and two
sending five TO the post. The races were
lacking in class, but there were three of
the events that furnished good contests.
Three of the first choices won. bat the
public had the worst of the days specula-
ton, for all Of them were al prohibitive
odds. and it is rare that the average
patron of a race course viii 90 to an odds
On fayorite. especially when he Is at to 5
or less.
The day started OF all wrong for the
talent. which had selected Quadrille as
real good thing because the Shields horse
has shown we'll on the first day Of the
meeting. Lord Boanerges was hardly con-
sidered by the wise players, for on ali
form he appeared TO have no chance with
Quadrille there being a difference Of sew
enteen pounds in favor OF the latter but
Lord Boanerges shattered all ideas Of
form by running away with the race at
good long odds.
Dead Gone Steps In.
Again in the second the public stood by
and saw a 20-to-1 shot beat out the favor
tie by a head, when the hackers of the
latter were already counting their vim
nings. Then the people looked at their
programmes and saw that Dead Gone be-
longed TO John e. Madden. the wiley Ken
tuckian. and they shook their heads and
muttered. We might have known il. J."
Truth is. however. Madden himself did not
think his colt would win. although he was
the best looking yOungsteT in the race.
The result Of the whole days sport was
unsatisfactory to the patrons for it is
safe 10 say that not one in twenty of
them counted a balance on the right side
when the last race was over.
AT the weights and on his performance
the opening day, Quadrille looked the
best in the first, and the Shields colt
was considerably played at S TO 5. Gold
SITTER was strongly fancied at and Tod
dies also had a following. her odds fall
ing a point lord BoaHerges was neg
lected. as he appeared 10 have the worst
OF lhe weights. He was as good as Is to
] in some books. although his good race
Monday entitled him to consideration.
Lord Boanerges, as usual, was led to the
post. and Toddles was slow IN joining her
horses.
Lord Boanerges took the track al the
rise of the barrier and soon had opened
up 4 big gap. Quadrille headed the others.
Many thought BOanerges would stop in
the deep stretch going, and apparently
the boys on the other horses did also. for
they were slow to make a move. But the
Lord kept right at work and passed the
wire several lengths to the good Gold
Sitter and Foddles both passed the firing

choice in the maiden two-year-old race.

Glaucus was the pacemai1er till well in

furlong Englander called on Dead Gone,

him by a short head in the very last
stride
Dead Gone was another long shot.

Tudor Well Backed.
The public would have nothing but

starters. and the betting consequently
was light. Town Topics was played to
beat Tudor. and Jack McKeon was also

long odds Tudor went right to the front.

East End by "a Head.
a poor lot of maidens started in the
hfth, with Madden's East End a strong
favorite because of fair showing on
Monday and reported fast work. Nettte
Carita was played some for the place, as
was Leesburg and Mammymoo.
The start was poor Our Ethel showed
