MANOKIN RUNS FIRST
in THE FEATURE EVENT
Lands Two-YearIOld Handicap from
Classy Field at Havre de
Grace Track.

]
Havre de Grace, Nd, Sept z.-It was
long shot day at the Hartford County
/ course, and Wizard" Bedwell added to
the glory OF the lucky ones by winning
/ the fifth race with Manokin at IT to l.
The race was a handicap for 2-year-olds
at FIVE and one-half furiongs. and what
wall went up when the Bedwell
colt beat stakehorses who have raced
with such horses as Hourless, Ultimatum,
| Woodtrap and other high-class horses.
To make a resume of Manokin's per-
Torrance today in comparison with his
last four starts IT might be well to note
| that he was beaten in his last three starts
Ave, seven and fourteen lengths. In his
last performance four cheap horses
paraded to the post and Manokin was
bad last beaten of.
! II form counts for anything in the
Bedwell establishment 1t might be stated
that in the last week he has put three
horses, viz, Disturber, Eddie T, and
Manokin, over at long prices, and In
J their previous efforts these three horses
were badly beaten, but on their next time
out they simply galloped home, beating
horses of class.
This Manokin race today had a bad
odor. and It would be well for the
stewards to watch the performances Of
the Bedwcll stable In the future.
The official press agent sent out
story to the newspapermen after the race
to Offset the howl that had gone up. He
stated that Manokin was a gift horse:
had won stakes, etc" But the newspaper
men we're quite competent TO think for
themselves and paid no attention to it
whatsoever.
ManokIn today beat Koh-I-Noor
Yankee Witch and other good ones
The feature number on the card, the
| fourth event, a handicap at a mile and
seventy yards, brought che Quincy stable
Lady Teresa home in front Of Gold Crest
| Boy, while Ninety Simplex was third.
Anderson, who rode Gold Crest Boy, after
opening UP q gap Of five lengths. re.
fused to give the gelding his head. and
as result Lady Teresa stole up on him
and he was beaten. The stewards called
Anderson into the stand after the race
and told the lad that another perform
ance like this and he would not be allow
ed to ride here again. After this warn
ing Anderson came to the post IN the
| closing number on Shepherdess. As usual,
the boy took shepherdess up as the bar
rier was sprung and she was last until
the head of the stretch was reached
Here Shepherdess made her run from last
place to second and was running over
horses at the finish. With a better boy
up Shepherdess would surely have won.
The Boston stable made a big mistake
by putting Anderson on Cleaning and
taking Johnny McTaggart of in the third
race. They did this In order to secure
the five pounds apprentice allowance. Nc
Taggart Is twenty pounds the best hoy
and would have won. st. Charlotte was
returned the winner at about to l. while
the favorite. Success. was third. Sum
