Horner. Marshall Field captured
the Cesarevitch Stakes Of 1884
with Enfield.
Omaha has made a brave start
in his campaign to 60 down in
history as another American
horse which Jared we'll on foreign
turf Last year he challenged
the attention of students Of rae
ing by a furious finish in the
Woods Memorial Stakes at ia
maica, coming from nowhere to
finish third to Today and Plat
Eye. Omaha erased that defeat
in the Kentucky Derby.
Test for Derby
During the last half dozen years
the Woods Memorial Stakes has
served as a fairly accurate test for
the Kentucky Derby. Since 1880
five horses that placed in the
Woods Stakes did the same at
Churchill Downs.
Gallant FOX, sire Of Omaha, won
the Woods Stake in 1880 and re-
peated in the Derby. The follow.
ing year Twenty Grand, holder Of
the record for the Kentucky Derby
of 2:01 As, was first over the line
in the Woods Memorial. Omaha,
as stated above, was third in the
Woods Stakes and first in the Ken
lucky Derby.
Economic was second in the
Woods and second in the 1892
Derby when Col. E. r. Bradley's
Burgoo King won. Head Play was
third in the Woods in '33 and Sec
ond at Churchill Downs in that
memorable whip fight through the
stretch between the depoSed Don
Meade and Carl Fischer,
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-05-12

His popularity rivals that Of
Phar Lap. the great red horse
which Australia sent to the Pacific
Coast a few years ago.
Omaha is nominated to start in
the historic Ascot Gold Cup races
at Ascot Heath on June Is, and
already the Britons have made
him a popula4 choice. 1t is quite
likely word from England has it,
that Omaha will go to the post
favorite.
The Ascot Gold Cup race will
be run at two and one-half miles.
This is a full mile longer than
the Wet Wild Stakes, but
Omaha'c brilliant run through
the stretch on Saturday convinced
all observers that he can carry
his speed over the longer distance.
He is hailed as a "stayer" over
there.
Wins in Stretch
Omaha'S race in England was
much the same as his race in the
1885 Kentucky Derby, in which
he Numbered through the last
five furlongs to defeat Roman
Soldier and WhiSkolo in command
ing style, In that race Omaha was
well within himself at the finish
and could have carried on for a
greater distance.
Over a period of three decades
American owners have sought
glory on the British turf, and
with brilliant success. In 1929,
for instance, Mrs. J. Hertz shipped
Reign Count over seas. This
splendid stake horse won the Cor
onation Stakes and finished sec
ond in the Ascot Cup. Reign
Count, with victories in the
Jockey Club Gold Cup. at two
miles; the Kenner Stakes at one
and three,sixteenth miles; the
Lawrence Realization Stakes at
one and five-eighth miles, among
other testing races, established
himself as a distance runner.
Won Grand National
In 1923 Stephen Sanford won
the Grand National Steeplechase
with Sergeant Murphy, and three
years later c. Schwartz thrilled
to the sight of his colors being
carried over the line by Jack
