For Carolina Cup
("^Strapper," in May issue of,The
Sportsman.)
Saturday dawned bright, clear and
warm, and South Carolina, on the
third year of its running, had ideal
weather for the ^Carolina Cup race
which ushered in our 1982 Hurtt racing
season. Remembering the rains
of the race days in 1980 and 1931,
there was great rejoicing in Camden,
Fully an hour before the time aet
for tho first race a large crowd had
collected, and by half past two there
was a double line of automobiles along
the parking spaces. The whole
scene was summery and tho light
clothes, the uncovored horses, the
flagged fences, everything so familiar
and yet so strange, created a feeling,
of unreality in those who had come,
as 1 had from New York, over night
from the * North where blizuStds,
gales and chill spring winds made
even getting into the mood for a
raice meeting difficult. Here was, a
different wprld, florwers in bloom, welcome
sun beating down on hot sanda.
It would not havo seemed too much
had I looked up and found a huge
glass roof instead of the open sky.
But, of course, that's part of Carolina's
charm and the reason why
year by year more and more people
for whom the horse is king come here
and enjoy their hunting and polo uninterrupted
by frost and snow.
Horse races were being run on the
flat Springdale course just outside
Camden as far back as 1820. But
it was not until recent 'years that the
happy inspiration of building timber
and brush coursos and holding modem
Hunt race meetings took form
and substance through the energy and
leadership of Mr. Harry 1). Kirkover
and Mr. Ernest Woodward. The first
Carolina Cup race, three miles over
timber, for a superb old English trophy
dedicated to Mr. Thomas Hitchcock,
was run in March, 1030. From
the first meeting the race was a success,
and by its second year it had
become the important opening race
of the season. And the success of
this year's event, on March 26, further
strengthens that interest. ' ,
Conditions at Camden are naturally
favorable for the training of race
horses. The sandy soil makes good
footing and dries out very quickly
titer a rain. Suoh woods as there
re, are open enough to make the
laying of drag lines easy. There is
hardly a "metal" road in the place,
dumps, with labor at $9.00 a week
and cedar posts at six or seven cents
apiece, can be built even in these
times, but just where a trainer is
going to find any hills for the development
of horses for the Northern
meetings is rather an open question.
One of the first things everyone
wants to know in these days of controversy
is, "Has the timber course
Aiken jumps?" Springdale has the
naked timber type of jumps but all
eighteen of them are eighty to a
hundred feet wide and four feet high
with the rails set closely enough together
to mnke them pretty solid
looking. They are all fairly placed
a#d up to now havo caused very few
falls. The brush jumps, about four
feet six inches high, are movable so
that the flat course may be cleared,
and they are built in sections with,
long "feet" ~o!\~tihe' landing side to
make them secure. It would be juat
too bad if one of these ever turned
oyer. It would throw a horse fight
into kingdom come, but as it would
take an elephant to accomplish tMf]
act it has never happened end probably,
never will unless they take tp
racing elephants * * *. ?t. ,
All in all, Camden is an unusual
meeting. The courses are well -built,
the card was well filled and the man- 1
agement couldn't have been better. It
hasn't. , quite the informal "backwoods"
charm of some of the Mary1
Q n H o r? /] m a
* -- o-?- V*
superlative impnessiveness of the big
tracks, but the time of the year, the
climate, and the country surrounding
Springdale, as well as the course itself,
create for it an individuality alT
:ts own. Like the first robin, the
first strawberry and the first shad,
the Camden races have and will al.vfiiy8~hav?
the subtle excitement of
returning spring * * *.
