Front Of Classy Field.
Shannon River Falls in
Steeplechase.

. Laurel, Mo, Oct- 6-EXtermlnatOr,
the Kentucky derby winner from the
kilmer barn, landed first honors in
! the Carrolltou Handicap, the fea-
| ture of the card at Laurel track to-
/ day. This classic found four thor
oughbreds facing Starter Milton, as
/ Jefford's Red Sox and John 1. Day
from the Livingston farm had been
| scratched out over night.
Sunny Slope, the s25,000 beauty
! OF the Beach stable, and The Porter
were made the favorites in the bet
ting. Exterminator grabbed off the
honors under a great ride by Jockey
Knapp, who timed his mount to the
second and came with a rush in the
stretch only to win by half a
length. Sunny Slope was off to the
lead in this mile and a sixteenth
hike with the other two contenders
trailing in striking distance. The
Nevada Stock Farm placed TombolO
! in this field but Pickens's mount
never had a chance, as from the
barrier until the finish Of the route
he trailed the runners. A little
rough riding by Knapp on the win
ner was in evidence during the back
stretch run and at the turn into the
nome lane. but the judges overlook
ed the protest OF Jockey O'Brien on
Sunny Slope and the Derby veteran
was awarded the honors.
Sunny Slope was cut off at the far
corner and again pocketed in the
stretch drive, while Hummer and The
Porter, who. finished second, was
forced to take his mount around the
field to land second honors, and with
little clean racing would have
easily captured the stake.
The Old Town Liberty purse went
to Judge Wingfleld in a romp. as
Hummer placed his mount in a good
position in the early going and came
with a rush in the last furlong.
Lytle, along with Eddie Henry,
who were heavily played. landed the
place and show.
Shannon River. the well-known
campaigner who was one of the
most consistent cross country run
ners during the past few years, broke
his neck at the seventh jump today
in the selling steeplechase. Max
Meadows, with Dottie Byres, landed
the honors after a great sprint on
the final green with Carter. Smoot,
on Shannon River brought the Parr
entry, who was the favorite, along
in good fashion until the seventh
jump. when Shannon missed the
hedge and did a complete somer-
sault, killing himself instantly. Eagle
Thistle, with Jimmy Clark up. failed
at the fourth jump, and the Camp
Meade steeplechase rider was thrown
and trampled over by the other
horses. Both Smoot and Clark re-
covered without serious injuries, al
though both were well shaken up.
The Inaugural for 2-year-old maid
ems at six furlongs was landed by an
other Beach stable entry when Ground
Swell, with O'Brien up. was given
great ride and came with a rush in
the final stretch drive. Cherubino,
who was of to a good lead, was not
equal to the drive at the finish and
took second place. closely followed by
Hohokus in the show position after
great run with the rest of the field.
sudahdar. the Triple Spring Farm
entry, in another six furlong dash in
the third was OF in the van, but was
overtaken at the quarter In the final
drive in the stretch Hummer forced
his mount to the front and landed the
honors after a great drive with the
rest OF the field trailing in the rut.
Charlie Leydecker the favorite, made
stretch, but could not overtake Sudah-
dar. and finished in second place, with
Pepper, ridden by Denyse, in show po-
sition.
Silk Bird showed his class in the
mile and a sixteenth hike of the sixth
event of the day when he outdis-
tanced Ray O'Light and POlroma. The
Bulcroft entry, with Hummer up,
made a great race and was held in
until the home stretch, when he was
let out and finished with a rush. Ray
O'Light took second position and
POlroma finished in show place after
a great run down the stretch. The
night-cap event Of the day was a
mile and a sixteenth for 3-year-olds
and furnished some good dashes. Car
mans Nigel, with O'Brien up, placed
his mount in a good position as they
left the barrier and held on to the
fore runners until the far turn, where
he made his move and came down the
home stretch out in front Sea
Urchin and Hwfa had a great race
for second honors, with the Fellowes'
entry landing in front for second
place, with Sea Urchin landing in the
money. The rest OF the field trailed
the runners.
