MORRIS PARK, Oct This was
great day for Jockey Snapper Garrison
and Brewer F. \. Ehret, the former be-
Ing the winning jockey and the latter the
winning horse owner of the rich Matron
stakes, which was decided here this aft
ernoon before $1,000 men and women
lovers of the race horse.
The weather was simply perfection.
A strong wind was blowing down the
straightaway, and made the lightning
fast track a record-breaking one. 1t
was expected that the Matron stakes
would be the sensational feature of the
programme, but much of its Importance
was lost sight of when Dr.. Hasbrouck,
with i22 pounds, and TO 2 in the bet
ting, chopped two full seconds off the
five furlongs record. No one thought
that the son of Sir Modred and
Sweet Brfar was fast enough to
lower the 50 seconds record originally
made by Fides, over the same track, and
duplicated by himself and several 9TH
ers afterwards, and when 81 seconds
was hung out by the official timers, after
he had galloped in ahead of his oppo-
nentS, the
Spectators Were Amazed.
1t is seldom that two seconds is
clipped off the record, and the specta-
tors were inclined to he skeptical. The
time was absolutely correct.
The track was never in better condi-
ton for the making OF fast time, and
when Yemen, to 5, beat off his OPP
ponents in the second race of six fur
longs and lowered the record for that
70 lolf
second, the Doubling Thomases were
convinced that it was really rec
rd-breaking track. Then came
the Fordham handicap, and a
plunge Oh Montana, this years Sub
urban winner, who had Garrison in the
saddle. Equity was next in favor, with
Sleipner, 4 to /. Reckon to l, and 9th
ers at still longer odds. Reckon jump
ed from fifth place into the lead at flag
fall, and never gave her hackers an in
Stant's uneasiness; she led by from
three to five lengths from start to finish,
winning in big gallop, while whips
were flying in the air behind her.
The Esatron Stake.
Speculation on the seventeen starters
was spirited, but rather one-sided, Miss
Maude and Sir Francis being respective
first and second choices at , and 21% to
L. The others were asked to be
backed at from to l to 100 to l.
The Rebecca Rowett colt headed
the bunch half way down the
hill and looked to be a sure winner
sixteenth from the finish. Suddenly
the only Garrison came out of the bunch
with rush. followed closely by Little
field On Miss Maude. Jockey Billy
DJnohue, who OWNS. trains and rides
the Rebecca Rowett colt, made q last
final effort for the S42, 200 Matron. His
colt, however, was doomed to defeat.
Donohue, because of his lack of riding
ability, was no match for either Garri-
son or Lttlefeld, the Snapper driving
Sir Francis in winner by head from
Miss Maude. who was a head in front of
the AnnameGe colt, Eagle Bird being at
lhe latter'S shoulder.
The stake was worth $4,000, 81. 500
OF which goes TO the second horse and
81, 800 to the third. The race was a
scorcher from start to finish, the two
year-old running 1t in lie, which is
only one-fourth of a second behind the
new record made by Yemen. Garrison
was greeted by
saIvos Of Applause.
He could have won with either Miss
Maude or the Rebecca Rowett colt.
was a case Of a clever jockey against
less competent riders. His fee for win
ming with Sir Francis is said to be
5000.
AdeIbert, to 10, won the fifth race
after hard tusSel with Stalactite.
Owner. trainer and Jocky McCafferty
brought memorable days racing to a
close by backing Hugh Penny from 10
to l to to l. and giving the bookmak-
Prs hard scorching when the colt won
in a gailop. Hugh was bid up $1,000
over his entered selling price, and
bought in by McCatferty. Summaries:
