MARYNELL BIG SURPRISE Defeats Time Supply in Texas Centennial Exposition Handicap. Carreaud Star Awarded Third Money When Rushaway Is Disqualified Favors Right Hind Leg. ARLINGTON, Texas, April 25. Marred by a disqualification, which she had no part in, Sam T. Games improving Marynell, was a surprise winner of the Centennial Exposition Handicap that topped the Texas Jockey Clubs closing day program at Arlington Downs this afternoon. A nose finish that found her that margin before Clarence Davisons Salaam, climaxed the nine furlongs route that she ran in 1:49, withiv three-fifths of a Second of the track record. Mrs. F. A. Carreauds Time Supply gained third honors only due to Rushaway, which finished third, being disqualified when the stewards ruled that jockey Johnny Longden was guilty of fouling Time Supply during the final furlong. The finish found the heavily backed Carreaud star fourth, Crofter fifth, Wacoche sixth. Flag Cadet seventh, Grand Rock eighth and Woodlander last of the field of nine that strived for the 0,000 prize that was worth ,280 to the owner of the five-year-old daughter of Billy Brush. In the new finish, Time Supply, was given third money, Crofter fourth and due to Wacoche being a stable mate of Rushaway, the fifth award went to Flag Cadet. Overlooking her brilliant victory in the Frontier Handicap, Marynell was held at odds of greater than six to one. There was an immediate start to the feature and had Rushaway in the lead soon after the start. The three-year-old son of Haste sprinted into a long lead early and held a good advantage with Grand Rock and Wacoche showing the way to the others. In the final quarter Luther drove Tim Supply through the field, Nolan sent Marynell to ithe inside and Chojnacki was forced to pick the outside for Salaam. Near the final furlong, the leaders were closely bunched and "it appeared that Salaam bore over on Rushaway which forced the latter to bump Time Supply. The winner was lucky to avoid the interference, but Salaam was soon after her and the daughter of Billy Brush was lucky to reach the end in front. Time Supply, did not appear to be at himself. He was favoring his right, hind leg during the parade to the post and, despite his top impost of 126 pounds, he was close enough to the leaders to have been an easy winner as the field swung into the stretch. Marynell carried 108 pounds and it was her second stakes victory since she entered competition. Longden was asked to be excused from filing his remaining engagements. Speeding over the six furlongs of the Au Revoir Handicap in 1:106, and within two-fifth of a second of the track record, Bay Bubble won her third race of the meeting and led Colonel Ed, a stablemate, by three lengths at the end. Money Getter, which forced the winners pace to the final furlong was third, a head back of Colonel Ed, and a half length before Reaping, which saved fourth from Fickle Chance, Prince Fox, Judge Leer, The Pelican, Naughty and Infidox, which pursued the leaders in the order named. The daughter of Bubbling Over, 1926 Kentucky Derby winner, had the services of Johnny Longden who was astride his second winner. She was the first under way and unlike her previous triumphs, she did not establish a long lead early. After holding a clear advantage during the run to the stretch, she increased her margin when Longden roused her to be well in hand at the end. During the run to the stretch, Money Getter was in closest pursuit of the winner, with Colonel Ed showing the way to Infidox and the others. In -the final quarter, Infidox tired rapidly and Reaping, which was never far back, moved past Fickle Chance to be clear of her at the end. While Naughty quit rapidly in the drive, Judge Leer, a stable-mate, was always far back and Prince Fox showed nothing to merit his support. With few exceptions, spring-like weather has prevailed for the local season and the weather man provided another wonderful day for the close. As was to be expected, Dallas turned out en masse to honor the card that was set aside for the leading Texas city, but Fort Worth had its usual large quota and there were many patrons from Corsicana, Houston, San Antonio, Abilene and other far away points. Although the gathering was not as large as that of Derby Day, the stands were packed to capacity and the lawns were very thickly populated. The racing strip was at its best and favorites were successful in most instances. With the Centennial Exposition Handicap honoring Dallas, where the Centennial will be held this year, it was but natural that the other races would be named for leading establishments and points of interest in the city of the hour. Floral offerings and trophies were presented to the owners of the winners of the races. Gin Daisy won her second race of the meeting when she carried off major honors in the Ben Brush Purse, which was decided at a half mile as the opening dash. Little Upset was second and Rough Creek third. The winner, a home-bred daughter of Royal Ford, which races for the Three Ds Stock Farm Stable, had the services of Johnny Longden, and the Canadians good handling was largely responsible for her victory. Quindaro was the first under way, but Little Upset soon took command, and the winner was right after him. Benefited by having the inside position, Gin Daisy drew clear after reaching the stretch, but Little Upset was not through and the finish found them a half length apart. Some three lengths separated Little Upset and Rough Creek, with the latter having the same advantage over Quindaro, which beat Pat Bane by a nose for fourth laurels. Wild Pigeon, Whitney-bred cast-off, which has been unsuccessful in six starts this year, made his Texas debut in auspicious fashion when he was a handy and popular winner of the J. K. Wilson Claiming Purse that was decided over the Waggoner course for the second race. Tug o War was second and Ana X. third. The Mikel-owned four-year-old Whichone gelding worked his way forward through the field, but Frank Chojnacki was forced to send him to the outside in the last furlong and he rapidly wore down the pacemaker, Wax, to lead Tug o War by a length at the end. Tug o War came from far back to beat the fast-finishing Ana X. by a nose for second. While Gypsie Chief lasted to garner fourth honors, Wax and Hip Boots also quit rapidly in the last eighth. Brigade B. chalked up her fourth victory of the year when she carried A. C. Francis colors to a handy and popular score over eleven other three-year-olds that met over one mile and a sixteenth in the third. Muscle In was second and Miss Petrina third. Capably ridden by Johnny Nolan and never far back of the pacemaking Rustic Lassie, which quit badly in the last furlong, the winner drove to the front in the final eighth to be well in hand and a length in the van of Muscle In at the end. The latter was only a head before Miss Petrina, which got up to beat the fast finishing Duckie Rose by a nose for third.
