- GORGE ODOM evidently IL a
IT specialist in the training Of
mud horses He had regular
Empire City track. He started four
horses. and he and his followers had
tho pleasure OF seeing two OF them
roll" home and the third get up TO
win by a head after being away from
the post BADLY.
Odom started the day with Oriole,
which. after the scratching of the
McClelland pair. Leonardo Ill and Sc
rapis, was made an IL to 20 favorite.
Oriole proved himself a real odds
on choice. He left his company inside
tho first sixteenth, opened up gap,
and with every stride drew further
away 10 win, as he did in his last
race, by about a dozen lengths
Prodigy and Brigadier General lent a
semlblance OF contest 10 the race by
their stretch duel for the place money.
The General got 1t, coming from be-
hind to outgame the Davis filly.
Oriole now has won his last two
mud races in such commanding style
that he already is referred 70 as n
mud running fool. although he is also
fast and consistent In good going.
As Kim" Patterson, trainer OF the
McClelland horses, said afterwards:
THAT Oriole Is some bear in mud, ]
don't want any part OF him"
After Orioles easy win II became
common gossip around that Odom
was going to win three races. HIS
next starter was Jadda, but In the
| face Of yellow Hands win over him
In their last meeting at a difference of
six pounds in JRdda's favor, there was
no wild scramble TO play him. Instead
the opening play was for Yellow
Hand and Georgie. Why Georgia, we
know not.
When II came to racing II soon be
came evident that Jadda was differ
ent horse in mud. He ran away from
the barrier like a quarter horse ant
got around the first turn by himself
Yellow Hand was squeezed out OF {
good position at this early stage, and
there was nothing 10 chase aftcl
Jadda hut Marie Antoinctte, Mean
while Jadda galloped down the bacl
stretch six lengths in front withHu
lcontention. When Marie Antoinett,
retired George and Yellow Hand tool
ND the futile pursuit, hut they nevc
, got near enough 10 Jadda 20 ever
thrill the crowd. Jadda's improyN
ment may be attributed TO his wear
ing blinkers. He quilt in his las
race and came again in n manne
that puzzled Odom. He decided tn
colt needed hinkers, and so he wa
equipped with them yesterday.
Odom ran Major PariVe in IN
! lightweight handicap, but got moth
/, ing, so the crowd that had bee
looking for the third Odom WHINE
, decided II must be ArRda in the las
|, Sure enough. II was, but the colt ha
1 10 give up his hest 20 catch and no
, out cajawea in the last few strides
: Arada was away from the post IN
! tangle and didn't really get into
I contendinR position until nearing ~
/, stretch turn. From there home, how
ever, he came fast and gamely {
Just get up.
Young Hummer was about the haT
\ piest Kid IN New York last eveninI
z He rode home his first winner In IN
Q Maiden Jockey event when he lande
4 first past the judges astrtde Relgia
Il Qeen. As big only as the proverbl,
Z pint OF peanuts, the kid rode with ~
. confidence OF n Johnny LOTUS. II
!, was away In front, and just 50
q stili and rode the filly nice and snu
y all the way After the race he proud
ly exhibited two IS bills, his fir
Jockey fee. He was the envy OF a
