This stake event for Juveniles over the
mile route had an added value of 81 0Oo

IL was the first time that 2-year-olds
OF stake caliber were asked to so q mile
al this track. and King Neptune by his
victory proved that he could run fast
and far. The victory proved a most
popular one. as Dr.. Tyree is a resident
OF Washington and that city contributed
large delegation to the monster Satur-
day throng that damned the Laurel
Srand stand to Overlooking.
It was a typical holiday crowd one
that visited the races more for the pleas
ure of witnessing the best of outdoor
sports than in the hope of any monetary
gain. New York City was more than
well represented by many turf lovers.
who journeyed over from that city for
the dayS sport, and Philadelphia, BaIti-
more and Washington sent forth I'M
usually large crowds. All in all. the at
tendance was most pleasing to General
Manager Winn, who has endeavored to
furnish the horse lovers of this section
clean and high-class sport.
A Popular Victory.
When King Neptune sped past the final
pole handy winner of the stake the
Washingtonians expressed their appreci-
alton in no subdued maner. II was by
far the most popular victory of the pres
ent meeting, and the Tyree gelding was
extensively played because of his owner
ship. Back IF him at the finish came
James Buffers Spur, who took the place
after a hard drive through the stretch, |
with August Belmont's Tea Caddy third
Ten hish-class juveniles faced the start |
er in this number and the majority of
the big Eastern racing establishments
were represented. The invaders from
kentucky. Dodge and Franklin, the prop |
erty OF ]. s. Ward. Were best fancied by !
the public as the former had shown ex- |
csllent form in all his starts at the local
course The Fasteners were represented
by FoXhRll keenes Indian Chant. H. L
Pratt's Socony, Elkwood Park Stables
Calandris, and the Mizpah Stables
Sprint, while August Belmont, the chair
man OF the jockey club, sent both Mala-
chite and Tea Cady to the barrier.
The start was a good one for all but
Franklin, and this member OF the Ward
pair was left fatfooted as the barrier
Was sprung. The field raced to the first
turn closely punched with King Neptune
we'll up. Once Strengthened out for the
run down the backstretch Turner took a
him alons within striking distance OF the
leaders. He shook up King Neptune
rounding the final turn and the young
stcr responded i'll his usual game fash-i
ia He raced around the leaders and
"Ece we'll in the home stretch drew into
commanding lead, never to be further

Spur Is Second.
James Buffers Spur, after rather '
rough passage. sped down the home
stretch with a great burst OF speed ana
this final rush earned for him the place.
Tea Caddy closely followed all the early
pace and appeared 10 have an excellent /
winning chance at the half-mile pole. He
tired in the run around the turn. and
after dropping back came on again in
the final furlong and stood off the rush
of Sprint for the short end of the purse. I
Dodge appeared handicapped by his heavy /
impost. and did not show his usual bril-
liant performance. l
Second in interest to the Potomac
Handicap was the mile and seventy
yard dash for selling platers This
event resulted in the fourth consecu- 7
tive victory for Henry J. Morris I
V odeling, who earned a driving deci- d
sion over r. A. Whites Scaramouch. l
Yodeling has always won his races by y
going to the front and smothering ,
his opponents with his high turn of
speed. 7
Today McCahey laid of the fast, !
early pace set by Scaramouch and 6
moving up with Nodeling at the head q
of the stretch came on to win going n
away IT is possible that Scaramouch
might have lasted out the route had
not Lilley rushed him too much in the \
early stages The first quarter was =
run in IS LIS and this told on Scara- 7
mouch at the end.
Buys In YodeIinE.
II. 4. White earned half of the run I
up money when he boosted Yodeing to :,
1905. an advance of S6o5 over his en- I
tered selling price. He was bought
In by the stable at this figure. n
Emil Herr continued his activity in i
The selling race war when he boosted
Mrs. J. Phillips Fair Helen after this y
fIly had captured the siX-furlong
dash for all aged platers. She was
entered to be sold for $500 and Herr
carried her to S1,4OO before stopping.
She was bought in by the stable for
IN additional IS bid.
