The Washington herald., 1912-06-07

The books received a scorching yes
terday at Marlboro, when four fsvorites,
and an outsider, the latter heavily
played, managed to get under the wire
first
a heavy rain storm sat in prior to the
running of the first race, which had a
tendency TO make the going rather diff
cult, but notwithstanding this fact, IA
vC-ites ran strictly to form.
Red Bob, at the nice odds Of to l.
beat Sir Edward a head at the post
while Kerran was third. Red Bob made
every post a winning one. Coming into
the home stretch he ran wide and lost
q couple of lengths, but when straight
ened out, had no trouble in landing.
Annie Sellers, in the second event,
looked as though she was hopelessIy
beaten, but slipped through on the rail
at the first turn and thereby saved a
dozen or more lengths. She was tiring
fast at the end and in another ten yards
Stairs would have surely won.
Old Bat MastersOn repeated his pre-
Vious good race, and won the fifth event
by a couple of lengths Lord Wells ran
a creditable race. and as easily best of
the remaining lot. Aviator was played
for good thing. but third was the best
he could do.
Sabo Blend lasted long enough to win
from Strike Out a short head. Strike Out
closed fast and would have won in
another jump.
Wild Weed. another good thing. came
home first in the closing event Of the
day but was lucky to win. Sir Dawn,
who was on to a bad start was practi-
cally running over the field at the 'Id.
and would have ben returned the winner
in another length.
notwithstanding the fact that the storm
was one OF the severest OF the =ummer,
the track drained well and could not have
been called slow. The bottom Of the course
Is sandy and before the last race was
run had almost dried out
The crowd present yesterday was as
large as that Of the opening lay, the
Chesapeake Beach road being cOmFclsd
to put on extra coaches. Baltimore sent
over a large delegation, and Philadelphia
was well represented.

far offered and should result IN several
