FoLLOBS UP SUBURBAN TICTORY IN
THE brighton HANDICAP.

The racing season at the Brighton Beach
track opened yesterday with big flourish. ana
IL tho management can only maintain. the
standard set. the meeting should be the best
In the history.of the association. The murky
and threatening weather seemeilto have struck
a dead line before reaching the .lddl marx,
and cxhilaratinE pufrs OF ozone from the water
cut the humidity like n knife and made life
worth living for the 10000 enthusiasts who
flocked to the erstwhie headquarters OF the
sporting beachcombers.
The event OF the day. II not OF the racing
year. was tho brighton Handicap. which FUR
nshed q race worthy Of high place In turf
history. 1t attracted competitors that have al
ready asserted their right to be considered In
classic ccm pany and the time In which the
race was run stands out In bold relief - the
best everlmade In similar event under Jockey
Club Jurisdiction. The winner. Imp. eclipsed
herself and reduced her recent Suburban
record OF 2:05 As By two-lfths Of a second.
After deriving Ethelbert OF the lead soon al
ter nagfall she rated along with almost auto
matte uniformity In the hands Of OLeary and
made the arduous tTip OF one mile and a'quar-
ter as follows:
Quarter o:24 2.5; three furlongs o:3e; half mile.
o.49 I.5; Ave furlongs. 1909 1.5; six furlongs.
14 8.5; furlongs. 1927 25; one mile l:4o 20;
full course. ZOO 30.
The previous track record for the distance
was 2:O7l. made two years ago. and the
Shee pshead Bay standard is 2:05. made nine
years ago In the famous match race between
Salvador and Tenny. Had Imp not run since
the Suburban her consistency OF form would
DO lauded to'the skies to-day. but the inter-
vening races in which she figured we're OF such
an entirely different brand that there 10 no ac-
counting for them. except from the weight
standpoint, and this Is accepted by horsemen
as the most charitable II not the most correct
excuse. The change OF Jockeys may also have
had favoriDg influence. as the mare seemed
to run much freer for O1eary yesterday than
