Ranastnr the Favuritc.

Rarastar who from all accounts is likely
to he the favor!te, has not been raced since
he won the Brooklyn handicap, for which
he VIII have to take up twelve pounds.
He has been worked consistently by his
ira ner, Matt Allen, and twice this week
has been asked TO go the mile and quar-
ter. On Tuesday he was sent oyer the
route with weight up in the afternoon, ana
covered il in 2.0S, looking If he was
going in about 2.12, so easily did h move.
This is a characteristic of this really great
horse, and he was thought by those who
saw the move to be good enough 10 win.
On Thursday, however, he went the dis
tance again, but was hard held and TOOK
Fl 20 His stable companion, Candle
Black, who is to be the pacemaker, did
mile very handily in 1.4l, ana was then
pulled up by Odom. This showed that he
ought to be able to fulfill his mission.
Briar Sweet got mile and quarter on
Tuesday in 2.G3i4, going nicely, and then
on Thursday she was sent the same dis
tance in about 2.15. good slow work.
Ben Holiday has not raced since the
Brooklyn handicap, but he has had plenty
of work. his last being on Thursday. when
he did the distance in 2.15s4, just romping.
He could have done a good deal better il
he had been asked.
George Keene had his final preparation on
Tuesday. when he went the route in :. 10l2,
slowing up a bit at the finish. 1t was not
impressive work.
Imp's Latest Effort.
Imp's last race was all the preparation
she needs, for she took up ten pounds or
so over what she will carry today and
ran in fast time for mile and a furong.
Warrenton was in the same race and did
not impress the spectators with his speed
or staying qualities. He has had lot OF
racing thus far this year, and may be a bit
stale.
Bannockburn has raced well at Gravesend,
and on Wednesday had his last trial COW
ering the mile and quarter in 2lli2, with
something left.
Filigrane has surely had work enough
this week for on Tuesday he went the mile
and a quarter in 209A, going well within
himself. Then Thursday, to the sur
prise of the owners and trainers. he was
sent a mile and half at top speed in LBS,
although some caught it at least a second
faster. The good three-year-old tired badly
at the end and acted as If he wanted no
more of il for some time. Previous and
Tragedian have raced recently and shown
no particularly fast time.
The Star of Bethlehem ran this week but
was not able to keep up even in moderate
company.
Jefferson, who may be added at the post
is reported as having done a lot of fast
work at Brighton Beach, but it was too
early even for the average railbird and
Latson has done nothing remarkable. The
consensus of opinion this morning was that
Banastar would be the first horse to put
TO his credit both the Brooklyn and Suburb
an handicaps in one year and that in to-
days contest Ben Holiday and Briar
Sweet would be the most likely to be fight
ing for the place.
