The Washington herald., 1916-10-07
BY GEORGE B. MORRIS.

Laurel, Nd, Oct. cit was a typical In
dian Summer day at Laurel Park. and as
a result the largest gathering of the
meeting was present. Favorites did not
fare well. as only three out OF seven man
aged to get home in front. Dorcris, Ar
mold and Star Gaze were the lucky ones
to get the verdicts.
The afternoons sport was opened by
Storm Nymph gaining the decision by a
nose over Sea Wave. the popular choice.
The latter dashed into a long lead in the
first quarter, but tired badly at the end.
Sea Wave was slow to get going. but fin
ished with a rush, and with better racing
luck she would have been returned the
winner. Polly ]. was third.
Mr.. Earle captured the following race
with his Peep O. Day colt Arnold, who
beat Jock Scot home a length. who. in
turn, was a neck in front OF Whirling
Dun. This makes three straight victories
for Arnold and he has come to be a very
consistent horse.
The feature number. the fourth race, a
handicap at one mile, was annexed by
the Marisol stable, with Runes, who ne
gotiated the mile In 1:3S Is, the fastest
time of the season; Fenmouse the favor
lite was second. a nose behind the winner,
while ]. ]. Lillis was four lengths in the
rear and the rest of the field weIl,stretch-
ed out.
Blue Cap. who has been knocking at the
door in his previous starts, galloped home
winner over Broomvale and Theseries
in the fifth race.
Eddie Taplin beat the barrier in the
sixth race, with Eddie T, and held
this lead until well into the stretch. In
the meantime, Robinson, on Illuminator,
was laying in second position, and when
the furlong pole was reached moved up
stoutly and was going away at the end.
He beat Eddie T. by length. while Rep
ton was third.
Star Gaze, who was played for a real
good thing, won the last race from jack
let He had to be much the best to win,
as Burlingame was forced to take up with
him right after the break and was in last
position for the first three-quarters. He
moved up with a rush at the furlong pole
and won going away.
The Baltimore Handicap, the feature
number on the card for Saturday, with
an added value OF 5000. will bring to-
gether the best card Of horses so far en-
gagged in a contest at this track It is an
affair at a mile and a sixteenth, and such
celebrities of the turf as Roamer, Strom-
boil Short Grass. Spur. Crimper and other
good ones will face the barrier.
