Kilmer Entry Is Best Of
Field in Piccadilly Handi-
cap at Laurel,

=
big inning at the Laurel Park today
when Ave long rrices were registered
on the board along with two public
choices. The racegoers got away to .
grand start in the opening when
Ceramic scored. The only other time
the choice horses showed in front was
in the fourth race, which was listed
by the Maryland State Fair officials
as the Artillery Liberty Bond Purse.
This liberty bond event was booked
as the feature Of the day and the Kill
mer entry easily showed the way to
the wire. Exterminator was much the
best horse in the field of four starters.
Franklin, from the Ward barn, fin
ished second and Red Sox landed
third. Franklin forced the early pace
along with John I. Day, but Jockey
Hummer made his move at the half
mile pole and easily drew up on the
leaders. Turning into the stretch,
Hummer gave Exterminator his head
and the race was all over, as the
Kentucky Derby winner came down
In 'front.' after a great ride. Red Sox,
the second choice, was shut of at the
barrier and trailed until the final
drive Franklin proved game enough
to Withstand his challenge for third
money.
The Piccadilly Handicap went to
Flittergold. This son of Hastings and
Fairy God clipped four-fifths second
OF the track record for this distance.
and considering the fact that he car
ried l07 pounds, the race was a re-
markable. one. Montressor, as a 3-year-
old, with 80 pounds, did the hike in
l:iS rs, but the performance of the
oidtimers classes Fitzgerald as the
same stake horse of old.
Johnny McTaggart should be given
credit for his great ride in the Bry-
son colors, as he stalled off the early
going which was set by Smart Money
and Hauberk, only to come with a
grand rush in the final drive. Hauberlx
was not equal to the occasion to with
stand his challenge, as Douglass s,
VINO had trailed most OF the distance,
gave the Sweeney 6-year-old a great
run.
The form-players were joIted for the
nrst time in the second, when Tom
mywaac scored at to !. Duchess Lace
had enough left to grab OF the show
position, while Ambassador III grab
bed second honors. This race was one
OF the best Of the afternoon, as it was
not settled until the wire was reached.
Again in the third a rated rank out
slider tailed at 15 to-1 when Cant.
PARIS Man o. the Hour landed
the honors, from the favorite Grouse
and the second choice Dramaturge.
The largest field of the day faced
Starter Milton in this mile eve IT. Gall
liza and Mancha setting the early pace,
but In the final sprint for top honors
Trainer Grathe's three-year-old proved
equal to the occasion.
The longest shot Of the entire Mary
land meeting went across in the sixth
when Belle Roberts was overlooked in
the betting and paid a trifie over IS
to /. A classy field of selling platers
faced the barrier with McBride-a
Charlie Leydecky pronounced the IA
vorite. Deydecky was nowhere to be
found at the finish and the Baltimore
hot tip, Back Bay, was also among
the discards as Sudahbar finished Sec
ond and Wise Man in the show.
Another classy and large field went
to the post in the final event, in which
the Gun Makers from the Washing
ton navy yard reaped a harvest when
Hampson went over at the long odds
of Il to l. Eddie Henry finished Sec
~
sition. The Peerless One and Jack of
Spades along with the favorite Pol
roma were never in the running.
