The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-06-26

The eyes CT all lovers Of light harness
snort in this bailiwick, are now focused
on the events to be pulled off July 4, over
the Sansbury track at Forestville.
II now appears that the card published
in The washington Herald OF last Sun
day. was Of a tentative nature and will
not be rigidly adhered to, owing TO the
fact that the events outlined for the
day do not seem to meet the views of
majority OF horse owners.
Owners and trainers interested in the
card are requested to meet DR.. Sans
bury, owner and manager of the track.
at his residence at Forestville, Wednes-
day, and 80 over the programme with
him so that il will Mt such horses as are
owned here. and. at the same time, pro-
duce results satisfactory to the public
which too frequently is not consulted.
One event, however. seems to be
definitely decided upon-a match race be-
tween George GOodacres DR.. Chase,
2lOA. and Edward Daniels Glidewood.
2:164. for a purse of $500 Glidewood is
a PAGER, goes without hobbies, and, the
last time out over the Speedway put Il
all over everything in hts field. Whether
he can repeat the feat over a half mile
track in mile heats, best three In FIVE,
with DR.. Chase as his opponent is a
question that viii be soon determined.
At present. the betting is rather in
favor of the doctor. which is a veteran
in the business, and which sweeps
the stretches In an Impressive manner,
is thoroughly game and trots his heats
as II he thoroughly enjoyed IT.
Every one, on the other hand, admits
that Glidewood is a very fast PAGER.
Nothing in his career since he came to
this point from Philadelphia some months
ago gives anything like a true line on
his racing capacity. The heats he has
paced at this point have been half mile
ones, and at that game he proved himself
TO be g very fast horse. Robert Braw-
ley. his former trainer and driver. says
he is as game as any horse he ever pulled
a line over, and Mr.. BTawley is very
competent judge of good horseiesh. The
next question naturally to be considered
by men who wager their money is,
whether GlidewoOd's condition IS all that
it should be for a contest with DR.. Chase
which has been logged all during the past
which has also been slightly raced.
The doctor is no uncertain quantity.
while GlidewoOd is, as far as this COM
munity is concerned; and il is the I'M
certainty OF the contest that adds to the
interest of the mach. which will be the
central feature of the days sport, July 4.
In view of the match. DIR. Sansbury is
inclined to withdraw the free-for-all race,
In a1ag
the match event. Or. Sansbury with
his large practice. the erection of stables,
the keeping Of his track in condition and
numerous other things, IS easily the bust
est man in Prince George County. A
visit TO the track during the past week
found the doctor up 10 the guards in
details. The writer found twenty-three
large and roomy box stalls already COM
pleted, and the doctor remarked that
by the end Of the week seven more would
be ready for anything that came along.
The doctor intends to erect thirty-five
stalls for the accommodation of horses
the present year, and If possible, COM
plete the fencing around his track. Next
spring he will erect commodious
grand stand, capable Of seating $500 peo-
pie
Alonzo Corbin arrived at the track last
Tuesday with his string Of eleven trot-
tiers and PAGERS. In the lot were Michael
Morris. two-year-old Kavalli. 2.07%, stall
lion; Z. F. Halls Alto Dewey, I'M
marked; Mil Kushan, 90 2;2S1A; the sor-
rel PAGER Red Torcho a son of Ashland
Wilkes. also owned by Mr.. Han; Miss
Hohson and Country Boy. the former
with a mark Of 2:17A at the pace and
the latter with mark Of 2:42 at the trot;
George Goodaere's Ed BALI, 2:llh
Frank Tippett's Won March, unmarked;
Manuela, 2;10h. Everett T.. PAGER. IN
marked. owned by Everett T. Taylor,
and P J. Steubner's Cora Virgins, a
PAGER. also unmarked.
All OF Corbin's horses are in high
flesh. partly owing to the wet weather
OF the early part OF the month, and
partly owing also TO the fact that Corbin
has the reputation of being a good feed
er. When questioned on the subject, Cor
bin was somewhat in the air as to his
future movements when the racing sea-
son fairly sets in. In fact the rainy
weather of the early part Of June up
set some Of his plans, as he did not have
the opportunity TO search the horses he
intends TO take TO the races as thoroughly
as he would like TO have done
AS soon as he finds out just how good
his horses are. the places where ne will
actually race will be quickly decided
upon. That he has excellent material
for racing purposes goes without ques-
ton. Some OF IL has been tried out In
previous years and not found wanting
Others OF his string that are green, are
well bred, have shown well in Their
work and he feels that he has right
TO depend upon their ability TO race well
