straight race for H. Oots today when
she took the measure OF 10 other
sprinters in the 5& furlongs of the
Majestic Hotel Handicap at Oaklawn

Favored at $3.50 for So, Marica
trailed the early pace, set by Cardar-
rome, from the Blue Ridge Farm,
moved up to second at the head of
the stretch and then took the lead
in the final drive to win by a length.
Cardarrone held on long enough to
beat E. N. Thompson's Miss Ginbar

THE son Of Whiskaway. from Mrs.

give his best to get home a head in

lander, which ran up string of five
straight thirds early in the Winter
season but had not finished closer
than fifth in his three previous races.
Third money went to E N. Bisso's
consistent Whipowill
After running in third place for
half mile, Breezing Along took the
lead at the three quarter pole and held
a half-length advantage going into

Rude Falters After Mile.

OWNER GALLAGHER scratched his
fleet colt, zaca, intrusting the
Job entirely to Rudie, winner of the
Pan-American Handicap here and
early pacemaker in the rich Flamingo
Stakes at Hialeah.
Rude carried his vaunted speed
Z into the last furlong, where the son
>of Reigh Count weakened and allowed
the perfectly rated Par to run over
him.
Par. after breaking fast, was eased
of the brisk pace as Rudie, Rainland
and Proph went out to show the way.
Rainland and Proph were through
upon reaching the stretch. Then Par
came along to prove his superiority in
decisive fashion. Maecloud easily
beat tired horses for the show.
