Celt Wins Brooklyn Handicapped Race in 1908
The Brooklyn Handicap favored Celt who opened at 12 to 1 and overtook King James to win as Fair Play and Master Robert chased in a tight stretch. Notoriously strong contenders Montgomery and Old Honesty faded, while No. Celt finished ahead, with Notter guiding the winner without whip.
Roseben's Good Race Opens Gravesend Card
Roseben won the opening handicap at Gravesend against top sprinters. Notter chased down Berry Maid to win by a short head after being pinched off. Roseben carried 120 pounds as De Mund faded. Blackford took the Expectation Stakes while Connaught Ranger edged Xebec in the last race. Poterne rose as a promising four year old mare, Mars Cassidy absent, C H Pettingill stood in, and a quip about Colin Keene’s horse Celt closed the notes.
