Havre de Grace, Md.-With Harry
Payne whitney's Vindex withdrawn.
the Cecil Handicap of mile and sew
enty yards. today's feature at Havre
de Grace. was like a sleighride for
that great Broomstick horse. Cudgel.
owned by Com. Ross. The refusal Of
Trainer Jimmy Rowe to send Whit
ney's Kentucky Derby candidate to
the post robbed the event Of practi-
cally all interest, for II made II dwtn-
die down to a two-horse affair. the
first of the season. and F. ID. Weir's
War Machine; which Dreyer rode. had
no chance.
At 3 to 20 in the machines. CudgeI
just coasted around the oval under
Jockey Earl Sande's stout pull and
it was no race. The famous handi-
cap performer took up the heavy
impost of 1S2 pounds as IL IL were a
feather, outran his only competitor
to the first turn and for the rest OF
the trip just toyed with the Weir
entry. 1t was a splendid workout for
CudgeI. which stepped the distance In
the very smart time OF 1:45 2-5 with
out effort.
Probably the feature of the aft
ernoon. from a spectacular stand
point. was the steeplechase, which
went to Reddest. the claver jumper
of the Triple Springs Farm. Pid-
der to perfection by W. Mahoney
the winner was in close touch of
the pace all the way. and beat
Woods Stockton's Rhomb to the
wire after a drive from the last
obstacle. Algardi got the show
money when Gold Bond. which had
moved up stoutly and was running
third at the time, took a header
at the final jump. Porin, while in
the lead. went down at the first
jump on the back stretch on the
initial turn of the field
The Glen Riddle Farm. which
shot over Peter Combs at shock
ing odds on the first day of the
meeting. turned loose another hot
one when Rocking Horse, a chest
nut colt by Trap Rock. ran off
with the opener of four and a half
furlongs for two-year-olds and in
so doing defeated Oleastcr and
Whitney's highly regarded Amaze.
Ridden by Nolan and paying
s29.IO. Rocking Horse ran around
Olesstcr and Amaze at the mead
or the stretch and won with plenty
to spare. Oleaster, in a drive, out
lasted Amaze for the place. The
