Race from abrasion
Black Bridge Beats The King Over The Hurdles
Washington Handicap on Card
for To-day.
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Laurel Nd. Oct ia large crowd
was present to-day to witness the rum
ming of six well-balance races. Fond
Heart, quoted at 5 to l, beat out the
heavily PLAYED Abrasion at 8 to 5. Fond
Heart ran a grand race and was we'll in
hand throughout the entire journey.
In the fourth event, a handicap at two
miles for timber toppers, Black Bridge
proved the best and won from The King.
The King ran an excellent race. Coming
into the stretch he was fifteen lengths
behind Black Bridge, who had to be
ridden out to win, and only beat The
King scant length.
In the fifth race at a mile, Mum was
a good thing and rewarded his hackers.
He was played down from 3 to l to ? to
I at post time. Frank Purcell was an
other good thing, but the best he could
do was to finish fourth.
FOrehand, who rode lima, put up
fine piece of tack-headed work. lima,
who was laying in a nice position at
the start was taken to the front and
tried to make a runaway affair of the
race, but he was COllared in the stretch,
and was hopelessly beaten out of the
money.
In the last event Of the day Sager, a
red hot favoTite, was played down to
even money. 1t looked as though the
race was over when he went to the post.
However, Force, owned by H G. Bed
well. made him extend himself to the
limit, and came away and won in a hard
drive down the home stretch and man.
aged to nose Sager out for the first
money.
