when the bugle called the horses to the
post in the first race, at least 10000
people were present. The track had
dried out a bit, but it was sticky and
sure destroyer of form. The attraction
of the day was the race for the American
stakes, worth about 1900. Gotham,
who was thought to be the best colt OF
the year, was looked upon as sure win
ner. He disappointed every body, how
ever, for he quit like dog when he was
asked, and finished an inglorious fourth.
Rowe got the starters away in excel
lent time and on level terms. They had
not got far before Gotham jumped into
the lead, with Walter, Applause and
Utica together, length or more away.
After the first furlong had been run
both Utica and Walter moved up and
hung on to Gotham's neck for a six
teenth, when Gotham's head went into
the air and he seemed to be ready TO
quit at the club house. When the turn
into the stretch was reached both Waltz
or and Utica were going easily, but
Gotham seemed unable to show any OF
the speed which characterized his other
races, and could not extend himself. he
dropped further and further behind, and
finally Applause beat him out, while
Walter won, pulling up by two lengths.
Walter was in the pink OF condition,
and it was a bad upset for the talent.
