GOLD CARS RACE.

OF the races at Aaueduct Park last
Thursday in which Montana bred horses
largely figured, Francis Trevelyn, the
racing editor of the New York Journal,
in referring to Gold Cars race, says
This race was the best that has been
run at the meeting now in progress, not
barring the Carter Handicap, and prob
ably the best that has ever been run
over the AQueduct course. 1t was in or
der that it should be won by a horse hail
ing from that division of the Marcus DAILY
stable over whose destinies Fred Mosso1n
presideS.
Of the six races three were won by
horses belonging to the Copper King"
All these horses were broken as yearlings
by Mossom and trained and brought east
by him, but one of them, Motley, a little

Gold Cars race was for three-year-olds
and upward, non-Winning allowances,
over the short seven furlong course. The
field had some real class to it, and though

sudden and unexpected plunge from all
quarters on Gold Car. Though the horse

the very close, when after the price had
gone as low as 2 to l it went back to
tours.
IT was a 'hoss race for fair" Duke of
Middleburg was the principal
in what was a phanpminally fast race
from. the fall of the tlas, but five furlongs
proved the limit of his tether and in the
stretch he stopped to nothing. McCue,
who rode Gold Car, as Morgan could not
do the weight. got off none too Well, but
! took a lot of nance in getting through
and was in a good position before the end

Box, being a rank horse at the post,
was held at the post until a "twitch' and
got away last. The tWitch hung to his
nose and the first furlong he was rating

ing probably ten lengths behind the next
horse.
DR.. Parker was we'll up all t he way and
when the Duke of Middleburg stopped
went to the 'front.', and though Gold Car
hung on to him ooked a winner a furlong
from home. Then he stopped, it after
ward proving that he had been jumped
on and cut il, both legs. Box, who had
been coming from the rear, then became
! a factor. and, Roysterer also closing, a
tremendous tussle resulted. Six horses
finished heads apart, with the issue be-
tween the first three go close that nobody
outside the judges stand could tell what
had happened. Gold Car got the verdict
and Box was placed second, though Roy
sterer was apparently the contender. The
time. 1.25 2-5, was very fast.
There was not much 10 the Rose Stakes.
