The Washington herald., 1916-11-18

Bowie, Nd, Nov. 1s-Favorites split
the card with outsiders at the Bowie
course today. and those that played the
latter were well rewarded as they paid
in all instances nice prices
The surprise OF the day came in the
fourth race, the feature event of the
afternoons sport, an affair at six fur
longs. Speculation was brisk In this
number and Marse Henry and Kewessa
went to the post carrying the bulk Of
the public's money. Little consideration.
who got up in time to beat Marse Henry
a scant head at the wire, while Fruit
Cake was third. The winner paid sl455o
for a 81 ticket, and he negotiated the six
furlongs In LIS 2-5 seconds, a pretty good
performance over this track under pres
ent conditions. The winner was returned
victor in a jumping race a few days back
at Pimlico when he got home first in a
steeplechase at two miles, and for this
reason little support was accorded him.
AS was remarked by a prominent turf
writer just before the horses went to the
post, What business has Brooks in here?'
1t was quite evident after the race that
this question was answered by Brooks
performance, and when he was placed in
this soft" spot his owner probably could
have answered the query.
Flare started the ball rolling in the
initial number when he was entirely over
looked by the public and won handily at
about s to 1, while Gold Bond was sec
ond and Rey Ennis third. Kebo was
made the medium Of a plunge in this race,
but Obert managed to get him left at
the post. He made up a world Of dis
tance, but Flare had gained such a COM
manding lead that it was impossible for
him to overcome 1t. With an even break
Kebo would surely have won.
Uncle" Billy Oliver put over his name
sake-Billy Oliver-in the second race,
when he beat Merchant a length. who
in turn was a length in front OF Capital
Prize. Merchant should have won this
number, but McAtee showed a streak
of "tawny" at the first turn and rather
than take a chance and go through an
opening large enough to permit an elephant
to pass through. ne pulled up and as a
result Merchant lost a dozen lengths, a
lead which he could not overcome
Kentucky Boy repeated his performance
OF yesterday. when he galloped home In
the following number in front of Ma
poleon and Onwa. Napoleon was the
heaviest played horse OF the day, but
the winner was much the best and can
beat better horses than he defeated to-
day.
Everybody was pulling for the veteran
of the turf-Green B. Morris-to win with
his chestnut filly. Rose Juliet, and after
many trials Rose Juliet got down In front
to win by a length from Hands-on and
Rakeoff. Voluspa was tipped as a good
to the occasion.
Margaret N the filly who has been rae
ing in such excellent form in the West.
rewarded her hackers today in the sixth
race when she won handily from Edna
Kennan and Buzz Around.
Fairly beat Sevillian a head In the
closing number. while King Box was
third Harry Lauder. who was heavily
played ran a dull and listless race and
was never a contender. King Box delayed
the start at least five minutes by his bad
behavior at the post. AS usual. Royal
Interest was out in front for the first six
furlongs, but faded away in the run
home. That Royal Interest is strictly a
three-quarter horse is shown in every
start and he can win at this distance
much better than at a route.
The weather was an improvement over
yesterday and the largest gathering of
the meeting turned out. A good card is
down for Saturday and will be the magnet
for a large crowd if weather conditions
remain favorable. Summary:
