The Washington herald., 1915-11-16

Despite the fact that It was a cold and
raw day. large otf-day crowd was on
hand at Princs George Park today. The
elements did not seem to interfere with
the throng, and the iron men were kept
humming all afternoon. Much better
service was had out of the machines than
on Saturday. and everything passed OF
with clock-Hke accuracy.
Six races were contested. and each one
proved a contest. Favortes split the
card. three first choices being home FIRST
while the remaining three went TO we'll
supported outsiders.
The Western crowd put over a good
thing in Peg. which went to the post in
the field at s TO 1. A large commission
was received from the West on this
horse. and had II not been for the money
being poured into the machines at the
last moment Peg would have paid at
least 30 to L
The feature Of the card, the fourth
race. was a handicap for all ages at one
mile. A clever bunch went TO the post In
this number. on to a good break. Borgo
showed his heels to the stretch. where a
general closing up resulted. and Celtic.
cleverly ridden by Clarence Turner. man
aged to beat Naushon home a half a
length. Had the boy on the Wilson geld
ing swung a bit wider at the stretch
turn he surely would have beaten the
Tyree Oily.
Naushon was In close quarters until
within 100 yards OF the wire. when he
came through with a rush. and II looked
for a moment as though he would beat
Celtic. but right at the end he faltered o
bit and the Tyree Oily won the race
Naushon beat venetis q length for the
second money.
Phil Musgrave's recent acquisition-Joe
Blair. won the third race in handy fash
ion. beating Gold Cap by two lengths.
while old Monty Fox was third. The
winner was entered to be sold for 500
and was bid up to 1905, where she was
bought in by his owner. In today's race
Joe Blair did not show his streak OF
"tawny' and went tight along minding
his own business. He did not quit as
he usually does and his performance
was a much improved one under Mus
graves handling.
The last number on the card. a sell
ing affair, at a mile and a sixteenth, was
won by r. B. Steele's yalas, who beat
Royal Meteor two lengths. and who
in turn was a length In front OF Mabel
Dulweiber. Royal Meteor and Gallop
fought II out for three-quarters OF a
mile, where the pace began to tell. and
Ganop dropped back. In the meantime
Vallas. who was running third moved
up with a rush and easily passed Royal
Meteor. Mabel Dulweiber came fast
through the stretch but could never get
to the winner.
Valas was played for a good thing
at Laurel on his last start, but failed
to show any speed. Today he was a
real good horse. and II is said several
OF the wise ones cleaned up handsomely
on his victory.
good card is on tap for tomorrow.
The track. despite the rain of Sunday. |
dried out quickly and as the last race
was run it was practically dry As a |
high wind is blowing today, In all like |
lihood the track will be fast tomorrow. !
