Cole H L Myers Sheriff Culkin was beating Quakertown just a head in a duel for the show award With Harvard Square the only withdrawal a field of eight accepted in this dash and the winner was conceding weight to all but King Cole who had top weight of 126 pounds and was giving J P Smiths charge four pounds poundsThe The track was sloppy but had a good bot ¬ tom and the race was run in 22 46 46s s 112 and 125 marking a keen effort under the conditions Those scattered few who fancied Omissions chances even though it was his first appearance since he was beaten in the Experimental back at Jamaica received a tote return of 2870 for 2 while the son of Jock added 5925 to earlier earnings earningsHOWE HOWE MEMORIAL WINNER WINNEREarlier Earlier in the year Omission had won the Rowe Memorial at Bowie in the mud He could be forgiven for imagining that he was back at Bowie this afternoon for the rainy chill weather resembled nothing so much as the usual order at the Maryland track The result was a light crowd of just 7275 witnessed the Swift this being the smallest gathering of the meeting On the corresponding day last spring 8931 were on hand McCreary was riding his second winner of the afternoon in the stake and was one up on Robertson for top honors at the meeting through the decision of that stake stakeOmission Omission drew the outside stall in the gate and broke fast but was taken in hand when an early pace duel between Sheriff Culkin and King Cole developed and worked his way over to the rail where he saved some ground on the long turn turnThe The Emanuel colt did not loom as a threat until entering the stretch where McCrcary asked him to run and he moved up boldly on the inside as King Cole was disposing of Sheriff Culkin At the furlong post the three were less than a length apart and King Cole showed momentarily in front His backers let out a yell but almost immediately were silenced as Omission quickly put the choice away and was drawing out under pressure the last fifty yards King yardsKing Cole had no excuse He forced Sher ¬ iff Culkins early pace about a length and onehalf back in the inn to the turn then slipped through between that racer and the rail to make his move wearing down Sheriff Culkin to assume brief command at about the eighth post Through the last part of it the Phipps representative was holding the others safe but could not cope with Omis ¬ sions bid bidSHERIFF SHERIFF CULKIN BREAKS FAST FASTSheriff Sheriff Culkin favored with just 114 pounds and energetically handled by Carroll Bierman sped away from the gate on the lead end and midway on the turn looked to have the situation well in hand However he went a trifle wide entering the stretch and King Cole saved some ground Coming back in the Myer colorbearer

for the place and Cramps was fourth fourthFrom From a good start Robertson sent Golden Voyage right along and he made every pole a winning one Strange Device went after the Happy Argo sp nter closely and he was still in second place rounding to the stretch while Tola Rose was far back of the pace paceIn In the run home Golden Voyage drew out readily to win by two and a half lengths while Tola Rose with a delayed rush was just along to take the place from the tiring Strange Device Cramps Monday Lunch and Sir Lancelot the only other starters cut scant figures at any time in the run ¬ ning

Echo EchoHandy Handy Tom was the one to cut out all the running and until into the stretch he was clear of his field but in the final furlong he began to weaken after having run a first half in 454fM and Cant Wait under a powerful finish by Basil James ran him down downThe The Selznick campaigner was going away at the end and right in the closing strides Nedayr also ran down Handy Tom for the place The winner paid 1030 which meant the overthrow of seven favorites in as many races
