ALF THOMAS’
MAID’S FANCY
WINS 5-GAITER
Henry Jennings Rides
Winner; Louis Trince*
Places Second
By JOHN WOOD
Two horses, both gwned by men
now in the armed services, walked
off with first and second prizes in
the five-faited stake event which
climaxed 16 classic championships,
virtually contests between men end
beasts at the fourth, and what may
be the last, annual Spring Hill
farms horse show for the duration,
at the Joe Louis Farm Sunday.
Maid’s Fancy, owned by Capt
Alf. Thomas, now with the U. S.
forces in Africa (or Sicily), and
Clear Creek Prince, owned by Sgt
Joe Louis, won first and second
prizes, respectively, before an es
timated crowd of 4,500 horselovers,
mostly women, who alternately
cheered the hero and hissed the
villian under a hot sun that indis
criminately baked man beast and
turf throughout the show which
veterans said was the best yet held
since horselovers were first attract
'd to the event four years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jennings,
whose superior horsemanship is
probably as much a drawing card
as the annual show of animal per-
formance. again starred as riders
of winners in five events. Jennings,
who rode in practically every event,
was, according to one veteran fan
of the veteran trainer “just too
much competition for novices” and
was cheered lustily each time his
steed won a trophy. His own horse.
Ocean Spray, one of the most mag
nificent and well trained horses
shown Sunday, was nosed out in
the five-gaited class, but Jennings
himself took honors In this event
by riding the winner, Maid's Fan
cy. Atop the second place Clear
Creek Prince w«s Ed White, who
also won lesser prizes in earlier
events.
Patty Jean Wins Three-Gaiter
Patty Jean, the pride nf C. J
Sr.vder. and ridden by Jennings,
won the three-failed stake while
Lulu Bell, owned and ridden by
William Bell, took second prize.
Onlyother entry in the three-gaiter
was Fascinator, ridden by Red
HcngeL who brought his Duke here
from Indianapolis as the only out
of-town entry in the show.
These three horses also won she
same respective prizes in the Gen
tlemen’s Three-Gaited clast, with
one change in rider*. In this event.
Pete Holmes rode Lulu Bell. There
was some discussion between the
ludges as to the first place winner
in this class, and only after Patty
Jean and Lulu Bell had been put
through the paces the third time
did they finally decide on Tatty
Jean.
In the Breeder’s Class. Lnve won
the first prize ribbon while similar
decorations were given the owners
of Moonlight Madonna and Clear
Creek Prince for the second and
third places respectively.
Youngsters Cheer Twa Events
A chorus of juvenile voices was
raised in a loud and prolonged
cheer with the introduction of
Brace Beerrer. the original Lone
Ranger, and carried over to the
Infants Pony Class which was won
by Little Flash, owned and ridden
by Izetta Ray who was barely seen
between the ears of her somewhat
unruly pony. Isabell Morgan, rid
ing Little Bill of the Joe Louis
stable, won the second prize ribbon
in tins event, and Shirley Cornish
rode the third place winner, Molly.
The highlight of the whole show
for the youngster was the Musical
Chair contest in which rough rid
ing, perfect coordination between
rider and horse and finally a foot
race between two riders, wih horses
going for themselves reminded
them of movie we^t^-ns.
Other Events and Winners
Other events and winning horses
are as follows:
Model Five-Caited. won by Ray
of Sunshine; rider. Henry Jennings;
Second prize, won by Maid s Fancy.
