BAD TRACK SUNDAY
FOR PR|MAVERA
HANDICAP
BedWell Horses Do Not Get
Into the Money for the
Big Event.

The best laid plans of owners and
trainers oft gang aglee." After keep
ing three of the best horses in his
stable out of the running for a week
in anticipation of the PrimaveIa handi-
cap which he hoped 10 add to his
string of handicap winnings, H. G.
Bedwell had the pleasure of seeing the
three Bedwell entries run fourth, sixth
and seventh. 1t was the mud, or
rather the gummy adobe, that played
havoc with the plans of this sports
man. With Righteasy ready to the
minute, Richard Reed in good trim,
and Prince Ahmed with jockey Eddie
Dugan~up, it looked on form as if
BedwelPs entries would run one, two,
three. But the rain of Sunday morn
ing put crimp in his plans, and they
were unable to detach their feet from
the sticky Mexican mud
PrImavera Handicap.
The feature handicap was won by
Charlie Hargrave from the stable Of
S. c. Austin, who breezed in a dozen
lengths ahead of the field, which was
strung out goose fashion around the
stretch turn. Hargrave got away third
in a start that was so ragged that
daylight showed thraugh the holes
After acting like bronco at the bar
rier, Colonel Bob was given the
preference at the post and went away
to a flying start. Righteasy was sec
ond at the start but the 100 pounds
of imDost and the track as heavy as
ton of lead was too much for this
game little performer. although she ran
a good, game race in spite of the han
dicaps imposed by the handicapped and
the weather man. King Cobalt, mud
70 he nd his
best race of the meeting, being beaten
by a better horse. Prince Ahmed, away
eighth, was never in the going and fin
ished seventh with Is lengths of day
light between his head and the win
ner's tail Benscoten had the honor
of riding the handicap winner, send
ing Charlie Hargrave around the entire
field and galloping him on the home
stretch.
Dugan Rides First Winner.
Dugan, up against it in the Pr1ma-
vera handicap, rode his first winner
at the Juarez track in the fifth race
when he steered Marchmonet clear OF
the interference and won with clever
ride to his credit. 1t was well that he
put his mount TO the front for the
others were humping the bumps and all
had a rough voyage. Garner put up
brainy ride on Fantastic in the sixth
race, outwitting Page on Banbury al
the finish and finished first with the
applause of the crowd all mis- own as
he saluted. This boy has a career
ahead of him if he has no bad luck and
his riding has put him in class with
the premier ones already
