The Washington herald., 1915-09-30
Racing at Laurel Track
Will Commence Tomorrow
Manager Winn, of Maryland
Course. Expects Greatest
Season in History Of Sport
in This Vicinity.
HORSES STILL ARRIVING

Flags will fly at Laurel Park to-
| morrow afternoon when the October
meeting of the Maryland State Fair
Association will be launched. 1t will
mark the opening of what Manager
Winn believes will be the greatest
race meeting Washington has ever
had.
The vanguard from Canada, which
consisted of fifteen cars, arrived
Tuesday. Chief Of the stables from
Havre de Grace is that of Andrew
Miller, a steward of the Jockey Club,
and the owner of Roamer, the greatest
horse in training on the American tprr
today. Roamer is now in the pink
of condition. and the sterling son Of
Knight Errant-Rose Tree ii will have
to take some beating when he goes
to the post in the handicaps which
are to be run next month over the
Southern Maryland track.
Among other arrivals were the sta
bles of Thomas Clyde, a director of
the Maryland Jockey Club; r. j..
Walden; F.. f. Brown and J. S.
Ownsby. Brown has a couple to start
in his own interest at Laurel. one of
which will be the veteran, Donald
Mcdonald. He has three 2-year-olos
to race, the property of Louis H. Dom
nelly, an Atlantic City hotel man. The
Juveniles which Brown will send to
the post at Laurel will be Belgian
Trooper Black Coffey and Bigtodo,
that were purchased from the Ken
lucky turfman, Il. r. Bradley. Bel
gian Trooper has shown more than
the other two, and he will be Mr..
Donnelly's main reliance In the 2-year-
old stakes which will be run at Laurel.
The plant of the Maryland State
Fair is in perfect condition for the
opening. 1t was never more attrac-
tive. and it is likely that the efforts
of Manager NJ J. Winn and his as
sistants to make the course one Of
the finest in the country will be
thoroughly appreciated by the follow
ers of the sport in this section.
The display of flowers in front
of the grand stand and on
every side of the clubhouse adds
life to the scene. and the more one
sees of Laurel Park the greater re-
minder is it of Churchill Downs. prob
ably the most picturesque race track
in the United States. Horses which
are partial to a fast track will sure
have 1t on the opening day. unless
there is rain, for at present the horse
men declare 1T is the fastest they have
map.
