Sunshine and clear skies, q
Bowie trademark for its week.
end racing this year. prevailed
again today as the early arrivals
in a crowd expected to reach
25. 900, moved into the Southern
Maryland track for the fourth
running of the $100,000-added
John B. Campbell Handicap,
climax of highly successful Al
day meet.
Dedicate, Mrs. Jan Burke'S
game 5-year-old, remained a
strong 8-to-5 choice to register
his first 1857 triumph at the
expense of eight rivals bent on
an upset for first money of $76.-
600.
Warner G.. Morton's Dance
a-Jig, former $500 platter who
was looking for mud, was
scratched this morning when
it was evident the track would
be lightning fast. Sam Boul-
metis. originally scheduled to
ride Dance-a-Jig, was switched
to Tick Took.
Nearly all Of the experts fig-
ured Christopher T. Chenery's
Third Brother to have the best
chance of turning back Dedicate,
top weighted with 1874 pounds,
and there also was strong back
ing for Mrs. Ethel D. Jacobs
stretch-f1ying Paper Tiger. who
gets in with 1l3.
The Campbell will not be tele-
viSed. but will be broadcast over
WRC'S Monitor program at ap-
proximately 4:35 pm, with
Track Announcer Ray Haight
describing the race.
BOland on Dedicate
Dedicate, Third Brother and
Paper Tiger. who figure to be
bet IN that order and fight for
the first three money positions,
staged a prevleW two weeks ago
in the Bowie Handicap. II that
race. with Dedicate carrying the
same weight he will be under
this afternoon, Third Brother
nipped him by nose with 1l6
pounds up.
Today. Third Brother totes 2
pounds more and these 80 ounces
might spell the difference ut the
payotf line in the mile-and-a-
sixteenth classic. Perhaps more
important than the 2-pound
weigh shift. however, is the
saddle change on Dedicate from
Oliver Cutshaw to Bill Boland
Boland admittedly knows how to
ride Dedicate. a difficult horse
to rein.
Angel Valenzuela will return
to ride Third Brother, whom
Trainer Casey Hayes brought
out IN midseason form Tor the
Bowie Handicap. which was the
4-year-old colts 1857 bow. If
anything, Hayes has sharpened
the colt even more. as indicated
by his impressive last prep yes
terday Third Brother breezed
a half mile in ASS.
Paper Tiger drops 3 pounds
from his Bowie Cap race in
which he was beaten two and a
half lengths. and with Conn
McCreary due TO ride. the son
OF Stymie is a dangerous oppo-
nent.
Deserves FavOrite Role
Mrs. Jacobs and her husband
Hnsch, who trains the horses.
have won a share of the purse
in all three previous trimmings of
the Campbell. Joe Jones won
the first Campbell in 1854, fin
ished fourth behind Social Out
cast in perhaps the best remem-
bered Campbell in 1855. and last
season he chased home Brook
meade Stables Sailor.
Dedicate deserves the favorite's
role because of his impressive
race in the Bowie. which he
might have won with better
racing luck, plus his 1856 record
which includes three stakes VIC
tories-in the Brooklyn. Whitney
and Hawthorne Gold Cup.
Any bettor shopping for a
price in the Campbell can null
over King Ranch's Beam Rider.
Ill. whom Ted Atkinson will
ride: Robert Streuber's PyladeS,

F.. O'Connell's Mary's Bubble.

Need Sl.7O0,OOO Handle
Beam Rider was recent
arrival from South Carolina
where he was freShened by
Trainer Max Hirsch after fln-
ishing second in Santa Anita's
Maturity. Pylades. a Maryland
bred. was a surprise winner last
month of Santa Anita's Santa
Barbara Handicap.
Campbell Day tops off a re-
markable meeting for the Bowie
management. which risked early
February dates for the first time
in Maryland.
A handle of SIT million to-
day will insure 81 million
