the way OfBrien handled Westy Ho-
gan in the Bowie. John Schorr.
O'Brien's regular boss. told them be-
fore the start OF the Bowie, that
O'Brien was no great shakes at dis
tance riding. but that he would set
a hot pace with Westy for about
seven furiongs and kill of whatever
there was of speed in the race for
Omar.

fern. Now that he has acquired u
bit OF confidence O'Brien may make
a really capable distance rider. Ed
ward B. Mclean is his regular en-
ployer.

This boy Walls is the riding de-
velopment Of the year. He belongs
TO the stable OF James Fitzsimmons.
and. although. a lad of only one sea-
sons experience. he rides with the
coolness and courage Of a veteran.
His courage is remarkable when IL
is remembered that he had a nasty
fall at Havre de Grace and narrowly
escaped being trampled 20 death. II
may be well for Bowie patrons to
remember that Ambrose is always
good at Prince Georges Park. He
was easily the most successful rider
