Capitol Handicap at one mile. which
was the feature of the days sport.
when Airman. cleverly ridden by
Troise. beat q good field. woodstone
set the early pace. but was put out Of
the running after the turn into the
stretch had been made. Collins claim
ed Q foul against the winner, but 1t
was not allowed. Troise followed the
early going Of the pacemaker and did
not make his move until after the
turn into the stretch run. Here Air
man responded to the call and won
under raps by q nose. Shooting Star
turned up in the place position. while
Right ran third. Shooting Star came
through the field and overlook Wood
stone The challenge of Right was
never a deterrent one. as Ambrose had
his mount well in hand in the stretch
drive Barry Shannon, the public
choice, was shut on in the early going
and was never a contender.
The other feature, the Flight Handi-
cap for all ages at six and one-half
furlongs, went to ]. F. Sweeney's
Hauberk. while the fayorite, Startling,
finished second, with Water Lady
third Jockey Peak kept his mount
well behind the early pace set by Bah
cock. Hauberk responded gameIy in
the final drive and disposed of star
ling. Water Lady was slow in start
ing. but raced evenly throughout. Bab-
cock displayed plenty of early speed.
but Walls swung wide on the turn in
the heavy going over the final eighth.
The largest field of the day faced
Starter Dade in the opening event
which was a FIVE and one-haIf fur
long hike for 2-year-olds. Amackassin
proved easily the best Of the field as
he stuck to the going apd made his
move with a determination that with
stood the challenges Of African Arrow
and Moosehead who finished in the
order named. Buzz Around, heavily
played by the public accounted for the
second number which was a mile and
a furlongIrace for +year-olds and up.
Amphion took the second honors
while Billy Oliver had enough in re-
serve 10 DeSL Lazy EQWlna-
b The fifth hummer, a selling race at a
mile and twenty yards proved to be a
a two horse affair as Bond who cap
tured the event said Master Karma
were much the best of the balance OF
the field. Bond outgamed Master
Karma In the final drive while Chris
tie who landed the show position went
wide all the route and gave a good
90 hfpnaaIF AA
going. The longest shot OF the after
noon was pushed over in the sixth
number when W. B. MitcheIIs Rose
water handed jolt to the form play
ers BY beating Sam Slick three-quar-
ter Of a length. Rosewater came
within three-fifths of a second of the
track record. King Hamburg, con-
sidered an outsider. was a contender
until the home stretch drive. Tie Pin
made every post a winning one in the
final race as he easily disposed Of
Euterpe and Captain Ray when the
final test presented itself.
