R. T. WILSONS COLORS ♦ Carried Triumphantly in ,000 Added Rennert Handicap. » Chacolet Easy Winner of Stafford Handicap — Fore Lady Earns Another Bracket. • BALTIMORE, Md., May 7.— R. T. Wilson Jr. seems to be partial to winning the Rennert Handicap, one of the Maryland Jockey Clubs feature races of its spring meetings at Pimlico. The stake was revived in 1923 when Mr. Wilson won it with Tall Timber. This afternoon he furnished the winner in Senalado. The Rennert is a dash of three-quarters for three-year-olds, to which ,000 was added. An even dozen went to the post in todays running of this event and the Whitney pair, Candy Kid and Courageous, were the favorites. There was a long delay at the post and when the barrier was sprung it found Courageous and Candy Kid last to leave. Laddie Buck and Sir Ronald were quickest to start and they dominated the running until rounding the far turn, where L. Lang brought Scorched up on the outside with a rush and just before making the turn into the home stretch he had a two lengths lead. In the meantime Parke got busy on Candy Kid and the latter, responding with a good burst of speed, gained fast and was right up with the leaders straightened out for the final run. At this stage the race looked to be between Scorcher and Candy Kid, but the pair began to tire and the contender then loomed up in Senalado. Maiben gradually improved his position with the Wilson colt and coming into the home stretch went wide, he began urging Senalado and the latter responded with a great stretch run that landed him home in front of Scorcher with a lead of two lengths and a half. Then came Candy Kid another half length away. Finland, Laddie Buck and Sir Ronald followed necks apart. The race was worth ,060 to the winner. CHACOLETS FINE RACE. Chacolet proved an easy winner in the Stafford Handicap, a dash of a mile and an eighth, for which the Glen Riddle Farms Whetstone was made an odds-on favorite. Chacolet was ridden by L. McDermott, kept closer than usual in the early stages and rounding the far turn moved up to the leaders with a rush, and in the home stretch drew into an easy lead. At the end she beat Flames by a length and a quarter. The latter made all of the pace and in the early running raced Dr. OMara into defeat. Maiben on Whetstone, got himself in close quarters going to the first turn, was forced to pull the mare up. This cost him a couple of lengths rounding the turn into the home stretch, he came through on the inside and in a desperate drive Whetstone was unable to improve her position, and was beaten off five lengths for second place. H. G. Bed wells home-bred filly Fore Lady added another to the list of victories she has scored this spring when she won the first race. Barnes had the mount on Fore I.ady and getting her away well, forced a fast early pace, raced Julia O. into defeat in the ! home stretch. In the final eighth. Maiben brought Butter Cup up on the outside and a furious finish ensued. Fore Lady stood her ground and, hanging on like a bull dog, just lasted long enough. EASY FOR LIEUTENANT SEAS. Lieutenant Seas made a runaway of the Linstead Steeplechase. Donnelly sent him to the front when the start came and outrunning and outjumping his opponents, drew away into a long lead. The last quarter Lieutenant Seas was inclined to stop and his rider was forced to go to a drive to stall off Bullseye. Kennedy made a desperate effort with Flulls-ne going to the last jump, but in the final drive his mount tired. Carabinier, far back in the early s:ages, closed a big gap and finished with a rush. Delectable II. and Saint Savin fell at the twelfth jump and jockey Jeffcott was shaken up a bit but escaped serious injury. Lancaster, who had the mount on Saint Savin, was uninjured. McAtee and Flying Al proved a winning combination in the lifth race. McAtee got his mount away with the leaders and Flying Al, outrunning his rivals to the first turn, was taken in hand and rated in front under slight restraint When turning for home he drew into a commanding lead and the remainder of the way was only a canter. He had a two lengths margin over Doughnut at the end. The latter staggered in a head in front of the fast-finishing Just.
