BY HENRY ". KING.
Good race horses have often gone
Off their form. but none in recent years
ever took the tumble backward that
Norwich has This colt. which was
the undefeated and undisputed juv-
emile champion last year and which
was a veritable whirlwind before he
won the Kentucky Derby this spring,
has retrograded into the selling platter
class. Yesterday afternoon at the
Belmont Park track he finished fourth
In four horse race.
The event was the Fall lightweight
Handicap for all ages at six furlongs,
and was won in a gallop by Walter J.
, Salmons speedy and reliable racing
mare Careful
Careful never was better than when
she went to the post for the stake. She
was full of run and not only beat Nor
vich but outran him. If the Derby win
ner were only beaten by Careful 1t
wouldn't have been any disgrace. for
Mr.. Salmon's mare ran a powerful race
and covered the six furlongs over a
track fetlock deep with mud in the re-
markably fast time of :12 3-5
Careful didn't break on top. Last
season she was considered one of the
handicappers and prominent horsemen
said she was worth three lengths at
the barrier. This season she hasn't been
on her toes. Yesterday Mrs. Payne
Whitney's Exodus was the first to break
but Careful got to running quickly and
before the first sixteenth of a mile had
been travelled she was spinning along
q length and a half in front
Careful Outfoots Norwich.
Norwich displayed fair burst Of
speed in the first furlong and quickly
ran into second place. and 1t seemed to
the crowd as IL Johnson might have
had a slight hold on him. But Jimmy
Eutwell 2 had no hold on Careful. He
let her step along as fast as she wanted
TO, and that was at a terrific pace
Rounding the turn. Careful increased
her lead three lengths, and It could be
seen then that Norwich wasn't under
restraint. Johnson was hunching him
along But Mr.. Salmon's mare was too
much for him and he could never get
within striking distance
Entering the homestretch Careful was
still running at a fast pace and show
ing no signs Of faltering, while Nor
vich was struggling along under one Of
Johnson's strongest rides At the final
eighth pole there was no doubt about
the winner. Careful was sure of vic
tory unless she fell down. But Nor
vich was not sure Of place honors
Joseph e. Davis's Prodigious. which had
saved ground or the rail, came tearing
along with rush and easily went past
him. Then Exodus. which is non-mud
runner, floundered along and beat the
OF the purse
