Star Riders, Horses
School for Tough
RedIand Race

Point-to-point racing, which an
nually cnmaxes the fox-hunting
season hereabout. will make its 1942
debut in this section with the pro-
gram of the Redland Hunt sched-
uled next Saturday. Chief interest
in the events will center in the COM
petition for the Redland Bowl, which
has been sought eagerly over q
period of 10 years. Star riders and
their mounts from Maryland, Vir-
ginia and the District are schooling
for the grueling test over natural
hunting country and at route OF
more than 4 miles.
Although the entries do not close
until Wednesday, five horses promi-
nent in hunting racing circles last
year already are In line for the
feature race. The list includes
Crompton Smiths Mowgli. winner
of the Redland Bowl last year, fol-
lowing which event he finished sec
ond in the Warrenton point-to-
point, the Rokeby Bowl and the
Middleburg point-to-point.
Hazel Welsh will ride his formi-
dable contender. Windsor Boy. This
horse was the winner Of the Rokeby
Bowl In l94l and was second in the
Clifton's Gem, 1910 winner Of the
Virginia Gold Cup. Duncan Read's s
Rokeby Bowl. is likely starter, as is
Christopher Greer's Goldun, winner
Of the Virginia Gold Cup and the
Raymond Belmont Memorial last
year.
Thomas T. Mott, master Of fox
hounds at Redland, will send his
Port Law after the chief prize. Port
Law was second in the Belmont Me-
mortal last year and was the pace
maker most of the way in the Mary
liant Hunt Cup.
While the races will be staged in
nearby Maryland, the exact course
will not be announced until 48 hours
before the races. Riders are not al
lowed to school their mounts over
the route but are allowed to walk it
