IRWIN COLORS IN FRONT Bonnie Omar First and Conquistador Third in Omaha Handicap — Track Deep in Mud. OMAHA, Neb. June 18.— Bonnie Omar plowed through the mud to score a handy victory in the handicap, which was the fifth and feature of this afternoons program. Ha came from behind to catch the tiring leaders in the stretch. Conquistador, racing coupled with the winner as the Irwin entry, was third, while Glenister II. split the pair. Heavy rain yesterday and today turned the track into a sea of mud, and for the first time at the meeting mudlarks had a chance to show their wares. A crowd of 4,»00 attended the race. Cottage Grove, the favorite, won the opening race from an ordinary band of two-year-olds. She went to the front at the start and was never headed. Among the other winners on the program were Forbidden, Comealong and Shindy. Beauty Star was claimed by J. M. Hizar for ,200 out of the third race Friday.
