River Downs1 Allowance Feature Tests Routers Assemblage, English Man and Pollys Knight Main Opponents By W. A. CRUSE Staff Correspondent RIVER DOWNS, California, Ohio, June 23.— With the exception of the feature event for tomorrow, the eighteenth day of this 44-day session, the program is again dedicated to the platers. However, the seventh race, the usual spot for the spotlight attraction, is an allowance test for three-year-olds and older horses to compete at one and one-sixteenth miles. Titled the Hyde Park Country Club, the purse is ,300 and a well-matched field of 10 will meet starter Tom Brown. Comprising the group are H. Fields De-lux John, E. C. Jeffers and K. Scotts Prince Rival, R. M. Jones Sanction, M. K. Essigs Jason, H. C. Harners Belle Star, C. Breedloves Assemblage, S. I. Crews Jack Tar, R. Trupos Rough Briars, L. Hicks English Man and Ed Golladay*s Pollys Knight. It is difficult to determine one of these as a logical standout. Assemblage has been a frequent visitor to the winners circle but appears to turn in the best effort when the track is "off." Though we had rain in the Ohio valley yesterday the weather is very warm and the predictions are that it will be clear throughout today and tomorrow. English Man and Pollys Knights best races are also over a dull racing strip but the latter did turn in a head verdict over Ball Hawk, in her first outing. Her time for the mile and one-sixteenth victory was a rather dull 1:48 but in a previous victory at Beulah Park she was two lengths the best of Naomi in a ,500 claiming affair and negotiated the same distance in 1:44%. A lightning fast strip might be this Gilded Knight mares forte. Sanction was a surprise victor in the WCKY Purse last Friday. The good-looking Some Chance colt was five lengths on top before going a quarter of a mile of the mile and one-sixteenth journey and un,der jockey R. Reynolds steady pressure the final furlong lasted to be three-quarters nf * IPncrt.h thA hPst nf. T M. fihnrf.g
