Trot.
With Billy Haughton at the
controls, the handsome stallion
blasted hardy opposition includ-
ing Porterhouse and Matastar
In a gruelling andexciting early
August mile. Scoring from the
rim In a six-horse field, he
triumphed by three-quarters OF
a length.
SuMac Lad mcorked his
atoms in September In the $751;
800 Marquis de Lafayette Free
for-All, battling his way to
victory through one of the sraun-
chest and richest rotting line
ups in the history of harness
racing. Ten horses with ag-
gregate earnings at the time OF
81, ,305,IS4 were in the lineup,
including Merrie Duke, which
finished second to SuMac Lads
2:0l.2; Rodare, third; Silver
Song, fourth; and Duke Rodney,
fifth.
1t was the Lads third Mar
quis victory since the mile
classic was introduced in 1860.
In winning he became the first
American trotter to crack the
half-million dollar barrier In
career earnings. He went into
the fight with $490, 749, and
came out with $500, ,64e to his
credit, which he later far sur
passed.
For driver Stanley Dancer,
who gave the Potomac Lad gel
ding a magnificent ride, it was
the third stake victory at tBran-
dywine during the season.
Other trotting headliners
were A.C.'s Viking and Worth
Seem, that led their respective
ranks for age, sex and gait.
Worth Seem, handled by DAN
Ger for the Mary Hid Breed
ing Farm, was a real smash
hit in the lst annual edition of
the Martha Washington Three
Year-Old-Trot, which went for
$l4,200. The daughter of Wor-
thy Boy-Jen Hanover trotted
home in 2:05.4 by four-and-a-
half lengths after an expected
battle between lmpish and her
failed to develop due to lmpish's
going off stride at the first
turn. The race was the first
stake event of the season here,
in July. Only six started, with
Playful Dares collecting place
money and Noted Hanover
claiming third.
If Brandywine Prexy Howard
Miller elected to toss all sill
yer dollars into the pot for the
$l4,600 Gen. George Washing
ton Trot, he couldn't have drawn
any more attention to this wing
ding of a battle than what al
ready was therel
The attention getting culprit,
of course, was MIR. and Mrs.
A. C. Petersen's A. C.'s Vi
king, off at odds of IL. The
three -year-old housekeeping
son of Hoot Mon-Volo A.C.
gloriously routed four enemies
and turned in a snappy 2:05.2.
1t was bis, fifth straight VIC
tory in eight season starts at
the time and he won wire-to
wire. Sanders Russell driving.
National Seasons champ Pro
Hanover was second.

Betting Up
1850 In 1862

Up, up, upl That's the way
betting, attendance, purse fig
ures and racing went for the
tenth straight year at Brandy
wine Raceway. Betting-w wise
there was los per cent in
crease over 1861. Fans wag-
cred $39, ,925, $40 during the 90
summer nights, an average of
$665, 42o per night.
The getaway program was
the most laudable of the season
from a pecuniary point of view
as betting figures skyrocketed
to new heights despite incle-
ment weather. When all was said
and done, there was a new all
time single night wagering mark
of $685. new daily double
betting record of $l06, 7l6; and
a new single race wagering
record of $llo, $40.
Attendance jumped 1873 per
cent over 1861. The head count
for the meet was 749, ,052, rep
resenting a nightly average of
IL, ,484. The all-time single
night attendance record was
established on the opening Sat-
urday when 2l.73l fans invol-
urday when 2l, ,73l fans in
vaded the plant. And, profiting
handsomely from all this was
the Diamond State Treasury
which was fattened by ST., ,458,
903.9I.
PURSE MONEY SCARS
The stake, invitational and
overnight purse distribution
shattered few records, nation
ally as we'll as locally. Brandy
wine doled out S23l, ,075 in stake
money and $78, 900 in Invitation
al loot, more than ever before
here, and it increased over
night purses, categorically (AA
to C), to all time highs ma
tionally.
TROTTERS STAR
Racing wise, the trotting set
got the edge in record speeds.
|. W. Berkemeyer's SuMac Lad,
Harness Horse of the Year,
and MIR. & Mrs. Pat DiGennaro's
Duke Rodney singed the half
mile course, in separate races,
in track record time of 2:0l. 2.
The four-year-o -old son of Rod

to lower the old 2:0l. A standard,
which he had shared here with

and several compositions by
American composers of Art songs
and arrangements of Folk Songs by
