that furnished a good contest from
end to end. H. C. Hallenbeck's
|, The Finn was returned winner of the
Dixie Handicap. the outstanding feature
of the afternoons racing at Laurel Park.
This event at a mile and a quarter for
3-year-olds and upward was worth 81, 40
TO the winner. This also was the third
stake victory for the HaIlenbeck 3-year-
old at the local course and at the pres
ent time he appears to be the best racer
of his age in training. Back of him at
the finish came the ightly-weighted Tao
tics, who earned the place in the last
stride. with Gamer third and Addie NJ.
bang-up fourth. The latter came out
of the race very lame and it is more
than likely she will not get to the races
for some time.
Five Of the six overnight entrants
faced the barrier in this number, with
The Finn always a strong favorite with
the public. The start was a good one
with all the field away well. Gamer and
The Finn were the first to show out of
the bunch and came down the straight
away closely Tapped in an endeavor to
gain an advantage going to the first turn.
Gamer held the lead going around this
bend with The Finn closely following.
Once Strengthened out for the run down
the backstretch Gamer drew into a good
lead and Turner hustled the gelding along
\ In an effort to open up a winning gap
on the others
The Finn was going along smoothly in
second place. with Tactics third, Tapped
by Addie N. Rounding the final turn
Gamer held his lead, though both The
Finn and Addie NJ. were closing very
strongly from the rear AS the leaders
swung into the home stretch 1T was seen
that The Finn had moved alongside
Gamer and appeared to be going strong
est of the two. Addie NJ was also going
along at her pest speed and had moved
into third place. At the furlong pole The
Finn moved to the front and Gamer be-
gan to shorten his stride. Addie NJ was
closing very strongly from the rear, and
at this stage II appeared that she would
be the one to fight out the issue with the
IIallenbeck 3-year-old. Well inside the
furlong pole when called on for the final
test Addie NJ. faltered md The Finn
drew away to win commahdingly.
. The sternest struggle of the race came
for the place. and Tactics. after dropping
1back, came on again to nose out Gamer
right at the end.
Jesse, Jr., in Front.
]. W. Hedrick's Jesse, jr.. proved best
in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. dash for
selling pIaters that was second in in
terest to the stake feature. The Mar
rome stables Ambrose was the one TO
final sixteenth. 1t was strictly a two
horse race between this pair for the
greater part of the journey. Ambrose
had the early foot of the party and
dashed to the front at the rise OF the
barrier. He quickly opened up a good
lead on the others. with Jesse. tr-, the
nearest, in pursuit Going down the back
stretch Mink rated Ambrose along in
front, but approaching the far turn he
was forced to shake up the Marrone
gelding as Jesse. jr.. raced up on the
pacemakcr's heels.
( Rounding the turn this pair drew out
from the others and swinging into the
homestretch Pardner and Reyoourn who
were the best fancied before post time
were well beaten. In the run through
the homestretch Jesse. il. managed to
draw to the front but the advantage was
only a scant one and Hayes was forced
to ride him out at the end to stall on
Ambrose The latter after apparently
being beaten at the eighth pole came
on again and was wearing the winner
, down at she end.
The final number of the day brought
about good contest when J. s. owen
by's Carlton c. cleverly ridden by Wal
ter Lill,y. was returned a handy win
ner over H. c. Bedwelrs Luther. The
latter a very speedy breaker bounded. to
the front at the rise of the barrier and
outdistanced his opponent to the nrst
turn Lilley on Carlton G. was by no
means asleep as he had his mount away
well in motion and right on the pace
makers heels.
The first three events on the program
were cheap selling affairs and Father Bill
Daily was the proud owner of Nolli. the
first winner Martin Casca found the
track very much TO his liking and scored
rather handilv while II. G. Bedwell
earned his daily purse when BoraN was
home in front in the third number.
