Bull Brier Returns to Races In Winning Form at Gansett PAWTUCKET, R. I., May 6.— Bull Brier, Benjamin F. Listers brown son of Bull Dog and Rose Eternal, made his first start of the 1942 season an impressive one when he turned back a good field in the Bonnet Shores Purse, six-furlong allowance race for older horses, which featured the days program at Narragansett Park. The order j of finish in this affair was close, with Bull Brier having only a head advantage over Mrs. R. Campbells Hi Comb, while that Hi-Jack colt was only a neck in advance of Mrs. Louise Palladinos Little Beans. The winner turned the distance in 1:11, time which equaled the fastest hung out fo ra six-furlong race during the meeting. The only other horse to step the three- ; quarters that fast at the meeting was Doublrab, when he won the Bristol Handicap. Bull Brier paid .20 to those who sent him to the post as the favorite in his first appearance under silks since last July at Suffolk Downs. Since then he has been fired and operated on for a throat ailment and was an improved race horse today.
