Loyalty to his home hunt
yesterday was worth the Poto-
mac Bowl to Clayton Doing,
who turned down an invitation
to run his horse at Middleburg
and thus won the feature race
Of the Potomac Hunt point-to-
point near Travilah.
Doing, who was chairman OF
the nine-race card for Potomac,
originally had scheduled his
days sport for last Saturday
Unfortunately the weather was
SO bad that the event was post
poned until this week end,
which meant that Doing felt
obligated to run his horse.
Junior Jim, in the Potomac
Bowl instead of shipping him
to Middleburg for yesterdays
lnvitational championship as
he had planned.
For his reward, Doing was
able to win the Potomac fea-
ture without ever letting Junior
Jim get out of q hand gallop
over the 3ka-mile course. Only
three went to the post. One fell
half way round, and the only
remaining competitor, Valen-
tine wilson's Sun Glow, crossed
the finish line a quarter-mile
behind.
Under Sharp Restraint
Junior Jim was under such
restraint for the entire running
that his owner was standing
up in his stirrups and could be
seen gritting his teeth as he
tried to hold back his onrush-
ing horse.
Wilson, Just out Of bed after
q severe bout with high blood
pressure, collapsed after he
crossed the finish line and had
to be helped from his horse.
He rested on the grounds for
about 10 minutes under a doc
tors care and then was able
to leave for his home in Rock
vile.
Doing, who lives at 28I8
Belle View terrace NV, won
several ownership races in Vir-
ginia this spring and was odds
on favorite for yesterdays tim
Der race. His horse is an g.
year-old former race horse,
whom he picked up three years
ago at the racetrack.
De NadailIac Disqualified
Col. Bertrand de Nadaillac
sent his own horse, LogiStics,
to run at Middleburg at the
insistence of his Potomac
friends. However, he rode Col.
Edward Parker's Lamb Chop
In a fiat race at Potomac. He
finished first but was dis
qualified for cutting a flag.
The heavyweight race, which
also had only three starters,
went to a former winner of the
Potomac Bowl, William Barn
sley's Twice Teddy, who had
things pretty much his own
way.
Barnsley kept his horse off
the pace early in the race while
Thomas Dowd's Trinity and F.
G. Harting's Somor Son made
the early lick. Then Trinity
ran out of wind and Twice
Teddy raced head-and-head
with Somor Son, ridden by F.
]. Hughes, who finally finished
q tired second.
