GRAvEsEND RACE TRACK, Sept. Ia
Four favorites, one heavily backed second
choice and two long shots, gave betters a
| decided advantage over the bookmakers in
this afternoons struggle for possession of
the mighty dollar. The weather was
threatening, but the programme looked like
an easy one from which to pick winners
and fully 5000 people made the attempt.
Banquet, 8 to 5, had to drive from the start
but Taral finally got him up to the front
and won the first race from Lowlander and
Fagot May Win, to 2. had an easier
passsge, he winning cleverly from English
Lady, Dalsyrian and Miss Dixie.
White Rose then gave the bookmakers
an inning by leading from start to finish
and winning the third race at post odds of
to l. Chesapeake, the to 5 fayorite,
finished third to Fred Taral, 6 to 1. AL
though Kingston had a hard race yesterday
with Correction, he, also the mare, was
sent to the post to give DIR. Hasbrouck a
tussle for the Culver stakes Dr. Hasbrouck
set clipping race and had Kingston under
the whip at the end of five furlongs. At
the end Hasbrouck won somewhat easily by
an open length, at IS to 10, Kingston being
second at to 10, and Correction, 20 to 1,
beaten off ten lengths.
Taral, by desperate riding, took the fifth
race with the Annie F colt. to l. Doctor,
to l, was the best colt, but Hayward was
no match for Taral and had to be content
with second place. Dagonet, to l, was
fast catching Rosa II, Z to 3, but Doggett, by
sheer force, kept Rosa in front long enough
to win by head. Reclare was looked upon
as sure winner of the last race the talent
making and keeping her first choice at to
D Wah Jim was 9 to z and Ella to 1.
The distance was too short for Reclare.
