Watch Her

Favorite in the Coy Maid Purse, at Belmont Park (L. I.), last week, was Bernard M. Baruch's two-year-old filly. Watch Her. At the barrier. Watch Her succeeded in throwing her jockey, Tony Pascuma. She ran riderless down the chute which cuts across the infield, then twice around the 1 1/2-mi. track, and finally, before anyone could catch her, jumped a fence and started toward her stable. A mounted policeman caught her running toward the third jump on a nearby steeplechase course, brought her back to the post. By this time--32 minutes after the horses had first lined up--bookmakers who expected that she would be too tired to run at all had increased the odds on Watch Her from 6 to 5 to 150 to 1.

Watch Her was placed on the outside position for bad behavior. She got off to a good start, broke away from the field after a few strides. Jockey Pascuma, who had intended to let her gallop home last as a matter of form, allowed her to run as fast as she wanted. He was even more amazed than the crowd when she ran fast enough to win, a length and a half ahead of Miss Merriment at the finish.
