TALENT was TRIFPED UP
George Hakes Gave Them An
other Surprise at St. Asaph.
FORTY TO ONE IN A GALL0P
Only Two Favorites Won and They
Made but Little Money for Bookie.s
or Bettors-Soniage Quit on the
Stretch and King Paul Had No
Show ut All.

II would he interesting TO bear what
the smart people who said that George
Hakes was ;t"rnger" when he Won a race
ut 81. \ saph in Il common canter from IL
lot of dogs think of his performa nee
yesterday. At that time Tie story was
sent all over he country asserting
mat the horse was a ringer and that
some of the people who are connected with
she ST. Asaph track won heavily on his
victory.
There is no doubt that the horse was
very heavily played in the out-or-towD
pool rooms, and that some one won II
pot of money, hut it is equally as certain
that if Hakes was not Hakes on that occa-
sion then he was not Hakes yesterday.
There could he no Doubt whatever OF his
identity yes terday and there hundreds
of people who saw the race who are
willing 10 swear hat il was the same
dog of 4 Nakes that comes oCt and gets
beaten "a block by the conmonest kind
ofdogs at the track every time he starts.
SPEED LIES ON DOPE.
There is only one explanation of the
horses in and out form, and that is the
is checked so fun of dope" when he wins
that he has twice the speed tiiau ne mas on
ordinary occasions. This is the explanation
that was made in The Times when the howl
was made about the ''ringcr, and IL would
appear now that it was the correct one.
Yesterday he was in with Il fair class of
horses and he beat them. six and a-half
furlongs in one minute and twcnty-stX
seconds in the commonest kind OF a gallop
He was fully six lengths in front of them
when he passed under the wire, and little
Harrington had him pulled almost to walk.
The good thing players got the short end
of it all around yesterday. There were
some of the hottest kinds of tips out. but all
OF them failed to go through. There were
only two fayorites to win and one OF them
was at suck a short price that it was not
of much use to the talent, while the other
was not very heavily played.
AT FORTY TO ONE.
George Hakcs furnished the initial sur
prise, capturing the first event at the
juicy odds of 80 to /. Granger was the
favorite closing at even money but he WIS
never in the hunt and finished fifth.
Somage showed SO good the last time she
was out that she was sent to the post n
8 TO . chance She followed her usual
course, however, and after being out i'll
front OF her field by a couple of lengths quit
when the stretch was reached and was
beaten out by Dir. johnson and Pattie.
King Paul looked good enough to do
the trick in the third race and was backed
from his opening price OF 6 TO down TO
to 3. He got away the worst of the
start and was never able to get up. Air
plant, a 4 to /, WAS the one to do the trick,
with Gaiety second.
CRAMPIAN HAD. IT EASY.
Tribute had the call III the next event when
the prices were posted and was heavily
played, closing nj even money. Quite a
little play came in on Grampian a the close
and he went from fours to five TO two.
Blizzard took command at the start but
stopped 10 a walk and Grampan went up
and at the end won easily from Herndon,
with Jo Jap third.
The first favorite to get any part of the
money was in the fifth race, which went TO
Busirus. He was Well ridden by Delehanty
and after a slight tussel IN the stretch won
handily from Deyisee with Lady Teacher
three lengths away.
The closing race was taken by Deccitful,
who so far outclassed her field that she
closed at one Ia three. Carnalitc was second
with Plundercr third.
