The unexpected happened at Rockville
yesterday. The much-touted and sensa-
tional Bingo failed to make good.
The unheralded and despised Rushan,
jr.. carried on the big Washington SUM-
day Herald two-year-old stake, the rich
est Juvenile stake ever raced for in this
latitude.
But he had to contest with Bingo. his
formidable opponent. every inch Of the
three miles trotted. with Kathleen Dewey
third. Such are the vicissitudes OF racing.
What might have happened had the
stake been raced on six weeks earlier
over Bingo's native heath-the Forrest
Vile course-is a matter Of conjecture.
The story of the development OF
Kushan. jr., reads like a turf romance.
Six weeks ago he could not trot a mile
better than 40. In the middle summer
he was condemned as being of little good
as a stake trotter, and his owners seri-
ously thought Of drawing him. He was
handed over to John Crawford. Of Balti-
more. a careful. patient developer OF light
harness horses, and a student of balanc-
ing and mannering. and he solved the
problem. Kushan. jr, is Crawford's s
latest greatest achievement. He is thu
property of Javins Brothers. of this city,
foremost among District of Columbia
breeders. Naturally. Crawford, who
trained Kushan, jr., and who drove him
10 victory on. yesterday, shares in his
triumph.
1t was clear to observant horsemen
that the Rockville track. yesterday. was
not to, the liking OF Bingo. its downhiIl
part especially. owing to his high and
trappy way OF going. 1t made him roll
a INT NJ hafn n
drews could pull him to his stride. he
WIS irretrievable lost. Nevertheless, he
still remains a sensational two-year-old.
and when he strikes in his three-year-
old form a track to his liking, the colt
OF his year that beats him will trot to a
low mark.
Kathleen Dewey. the only other two
year-old in the stake (Alto McGregor and
Bette Brown being Brown. made a
most excellent showing. considering the
many accidents she has undergone in her
training. She was thrown out Of training
for two months on account of lameness.
