The Washington herald., 1916-10-18

his recent races would indicate that he
would even be close at the finish. How
ever, It was one OF those "sleepers" that
crop up now and then. Blue Cap was an
odds-on favorite and was heavily backed,
while Costumer had very few hackers
with the exception of a few long-price
players. The majority of the winning
tickets were held by women, who as
rule take the longest Shot in each race
and when they do come home they al
ways get a price against their horse.
Infidel II, belonging to Eddie Mcbride,
the Baltimore horseman, was also a field
horse, and he we'll paid his hackers when
he galloped home in the sixth race to
win by two lengths from Dinah Do and
Orotund. The latter was well-played
horse, but got none too good a break
and was compelled to race on the out
side and lost much ground, while the
winner was away flying.
The defeat of August Belmonts Mala-
chite in the third race was a distinct
shock to the talent" She was well
backed, but at no stage of the race did
she show her usual speed. Fenmouse
was the winner, beating Air Man out by
head. Had the latter won he would
have paid 80 to !. AS 1t was Fenmouse
was doing his best to stall off the chai-
Ienge of Air Man. Had the race been a
sixteenth Of a mile further, the latter
horse woNld surely have won. Malachite
was fifth, while Eagle, after showing a
lot of early speed, quit badly in the run
home.
The feature on the card, the George
town handicap at six furlongs, was an
nexed by the Marone Stables J. J. LII
lis, who was an added starter. Regina
who was also added, was second, while
Water Lady was third. Water Lady ran
winning race. After being left at the
post she made up a lot OF ground and
with better racing luck would surely have
been returned the winner. The race was
worth 5000 to the winner. Sir Edgar
was heavily played in this race, but failed
to show any real racing form.
The last race on the program of a good
afternoons sport went to Jem, who beat
r. F. Carman's G. NJ. Miller by a head,
while st. Charlotte, who cut out the
early pace, was third. Butwell, on G. NJ.
Miller, put up a slashing finish. but Jem
had too much left in reserve and he could
not get to the winner. who outgamed him
right at the finish.
All in ALL 1t was a thoroughly good aft
ernoon's entertainment, and while favor
ties did not fare well. those inclined to
play the long shots were well rewarded.
The card offered for Wednesday is an
excellent one and no doubt large crowd
will be on hand again to witness the run
ming OF these events.
