Under the light impost of -100 pounds, Marynell, useful daughter of Billy Brush that races for Sam T. Games Kentucky-owned Long Run Stable, was a surprise winner of the ,500 added Western Hills Handicap, principal race on River Downs first Saturday program, which was offered under ideal weather and track conditions and before a crowd estimated at 10,000. Cristate, coupled with Professor Paul as the Mrs. James Chesney entry, was second, half a length back of the winner and a length before Mrs. C. S. Howards Seabiscuit. Mucho Gusto and Dusty Dawn, which came in for the greatest support, were fourth and fifth, with Professor Paul, Gyral and Prince Fellow completing the mile and one-sixteenth in the order named. Marynell, which was scoring her first victory since two stakes triumphs at Arlington Downs last spring, earned ,105 for her owner and ran the distance in the creditable time of 1:44. Porter Roberts handled her in superb fashion and his ability to find racing room next to the rail was largely responsible for her victory. She paid 2.20 for each straight ticket. Mucho Gusto was the first in motion, but the winner was right with him and Dusty Dawn was showing the way to Seabiscuit and the others. Seabiscuit was forced to race on the outside of his field, and when Roberts drove Marynell into the lead on the inside rounding the far turn, Seabiscuit was forced back. Once in command, Marynell drew away rapidly, and that proved very beneficial, for Cristate, which was sent through the field, responded In fine style in the stretch and was fast gaining on her at the end. After recovering from hi3 mishap Seabiscuit moved up rapidly and, although he experienced little trouble in downing Mucho Gusto and Dusty Dawn, he failed to menace the leaders. Prince Fellow showed little after beginning from outside the stalls, while Gyral and Professor Paul were always far back. Running the six furlongs in 1:11, the fastest time of the meeting for the distance. Double B., which was completing a double for Roberts, was the winner of the Autumn Purse, the sixth event. Miss Monoa, which was coupled with Unencumbered as the Mrs. A. R. Stuart entry and the choice over the winner, was second, a neck back of Double B. and a length before Beau Tod.

Oddesa Girl, which has been prominent in her stakes engagements, found a field she could trim in the Golden Rod Purse that served as the fourth event and the first of the two supporting attractions. The daughter of Busy American, a 4 to 5 choice, made her own pace and led Busy Lutrecia by four lengths at the end of six furlongs. Third went to Wise Beauty, which tired after chasing the winner to the last eighth. Eight juveniles accepted, with Glen Fowler hustling the choice, to the front. Wise Beauty was right with her, however, and she did not draw clear until rounding the far bend. From there on she increased her advantage steadily with Busy Lutrecia, which raced on the inside wearing Wise Beauty down in the last furlong. Jadva held fourth position the greater part of the sprint and the others were never factors. Carrying 109 pounds, one less than that carried by Rigorous, which trailed the field, throughout and two more than assigned Georgia Meaden and Jadva, Oddesa Girl, which flaunted the colors of the Detroit-owned Oddesa Farm Stable, ran the distance in the good time of 1:12ts. BY NOSE MARGIN. The program opened with a popular victory when W. T. Lowes War Saint was an easy winner. Phalarope and Riff chased him to the end, two and one-half lengths in his wake, and a nose apart. Yenoc, a strongly supported second choice, wa3 always far back. Jack Pollard rushed the venerable St. James gelding Into a good lead during the run to the far bend arid after swinging wide entering the stretch, he gave way to Riff. However, it was only momentarily, for he came again to have something left at the end. Phalarope, which worked his way forward through the field, wore down Timorous and Heavy Sugar in the last sixteenth and nipped Riff at the end. A nose finish and a disappointment climaxed the second race, at one mile and a sixteenth, when Miss Petrina, which was making her debut under H. C. Rumages colors, defeated the strongly backed Pat C. Third went to the lightly regarded Wassail and Pargo was fourth. Pat C. took command at once with the winner following in closest pursuit to the final stride, where she gained the decision. Sylacauga and Chalk Eye quit and the others of the field of eleven showed little.
