The Cesare-witch,. first of the big English autumn New. market handicaps, was run Wednesday and won by the well backed third choice, Bracket, with Front Line and Greek Scholar second and third. The, winner, a three-year-old filly of unfashionable breeding is a notable long, distance runner with plenty of speed and courage. She has won five, of her six races this year. She won the Cesarewitch easily. Front Line, a plodder, had scant speed and dash at the end. The pair were . in front, clear of the big band -through- the last three-eighths.
