Aussie Horse
Ties Record al
Fair Grounds

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 8 (P).
Gay Vista, Australian speed
ster, equalled a 15-year-old
track record at the Fail
Grounds today in winning the
$4,000 Black Gold Handicap
before a crowd of 14,753.
Pushed to the limit by T. A
Grissom's Stag Line in the
early running, Gay Vista
dashed six furlongs in ITO 3f5
to tie the track standard set
by Signator in 1913.
The big gelding, an even
money favorite. finished ~
lengths in front of Shan Pac
and Joe w. Browns Fanciful
Miss. Shan Pac, the other half
of the Grissom entry, and
Fanciful Miss finished in a
dead heat for second money.
Gay Vista returned 81, 1920
and 1920. Shan Pac paid
1920 and $2.40, while Fanciful
Miss returned 1920 and $3.50
Gay Vista and Stag Line
raced noses apart in the OPEN
ing stages, with Stag Line a
shade in front when they hit
the top Of the turn. But Gay
Vista shook of his rival as the
field turned for home and went
to the middle of the track. with
Shan Pac and Fanciful Miss in
futile pursuit.
It was the fifth victory Of
the meeting for Gay Vista and
was worth $500 to his owners,
the Triple c Stables. The vic
tory sent Gay Vista's winnings
to slightly more than $21, 900
in his eight starts in this coun-
try since last November.
But the triumph may have
been costly since the 8-year-
old gelding pulled up sore after
crossing the finish line. Re-
ports from the stable said Gay
Vista might be out Of action for
several weeks.
Linzy Boy, a 2-year-old chest
nut owned by Junius Delahous-
save, had to survive a foul
claim to win the $3.50 Duncan

fondly recall was a genial, mid
dle-aged Irishman by the name
of Reilly, whose chant was
something like this:
Let me do your handicapping
for you. ! give you good infor-
nation. ! tell you no lies about
it. Reilly, Reilly. REILLY"
Had First Three Winners
We remember buying Reilly's
selections one day. They were
handwritten, not printed, and
the old boy had made the mis-
take of picking horses for the
daily double from the second
and third races. instead Of first
and second. Believe it or not,
Reilly picked the first three
winners that day. and did he
crow about that on the train
the next day.
Among the other selectors
were Long Shot Red, a Negro
boy who got his name by hit
ting a 100-to-1 shot; Frenchy,
Lawton's and Jacks. Handi-
cappers are still operating un-
der the last two names. Each
would take his stand up front,
after the conductor and train
cop had left. and then, "beg-
ging your kind attention please"
would run through his spiel.

Several Ways to Go
In those days you could gel
to Bowie by several means,

You could take the comfort

the streetcars of the old Met

started from a spur (and

for Baltimore and Bowie
boarded the WB&A coaches OF
the streetcars at Fourteenth
and New York avenue. Both
lines ran over the same track

If you took the WB&A to
Bowie, you got on at q land;

walked up the hill through q

carries fans to Bowie. After
the races, those who wanted
to take the .WB&sA back to
Washington had to walk down

through from Baltimore.

If you took the streetcars

them on a newspaper or board
resting on the knees of the OPP
orator and his partner, and
they were experts.
When the horses were run
ming at Pimlico and you went
to Baltimore by train, the card
sharks rode to and from the
track with you in jitneys,
which then charged so cents
a head. and operated the game
on q newspaper during the
"trip.
Maybe some Of you remember
the crippled boy who sat at the
entrance to Bowie, singing in
o thin, wavering voice, through
. megaphone fashioned from
newspapers. Perhaps he was
blind, but we never found out.
He kept up a weird chant, wav-
ing his cap slowly back and
forth, begging for coins.
Bets Made With BoOkies
When Bowie opehed in 1914,
hand-books handled all wagers,
using such names to identify
themselves as Saratoga Club,
Eldorado Club, etc. 1t was quite
a sight, watching them at work
on platforms or tables, chalk
ing odds on states, erasing and
making a new line as the odds
changed, and waving the slate
to attract customers. To cash
a winning bet you lined UP at
the rear Of your bookie's stall
in the betting ring.
Coming home was almost
always a trying experience. The
Chesapeake Beach train in
variably stalled trying to make
it over the hump at the Ben
ming power plant - especially
on Thanksgiving Day, when the
creaking, wheeling cars were
overloaded. Smart taxi drivers
made it a rule to cruise out
Benning road on important
days at the track. and those
who wanted to get home in
time for dinner usually got of
the train and grabbed one.
There were more cabs at
Fifteenth and H streets NE.
and a "house car" at Seventh
and E waiting for those who
hoped to recoup their losses OF
pursue q winning streak at
Jimmie's Place on Bladensbure
road.
A trip to Bowie in the old
days was rather rigorous,
whichever way you went. Habit
forming. too. But we didn't
mind-not the real dyed-in-
the-wool horse lovers.
