coming home first. As It was getaway
day considerable money was burned up II
playing long shots, but one, Pigeon Post. al
10 to /, getting decision.
The feature of the afternoons racing was
the running of the maximum stakes, a dis
sance OF three miles. It brought out field
of five. Carbuncle being the natural choice
with Raffaello the next best thought OF
The latter was heavily backed from to
TO l. He was reported sore going to the
post and broke down during the race, and
Slack had to dismou4t half mile from
home For distance of two miles Ring
leader was out In front. going like a sprin-
ter and opening up a gap of fifteen lengths,
which was increased to twenty-five by the
time the first mile had been covered. Ring
leaders price was around the sixties and
his hackers were in high glee, but to the
experienced eye 1t was foregone conclu-
sion that he would have to come back be-
fore the event was finished. Old Carbuncle
rated along In second place under stiff
pull, and by the time the second mile had
been covered he was up and had passed
Ringleader.
Surmise had also been running easy and
when the third mile had been reached
Jockey Shea let out a link and he was soon
on equal terms with Carbuncle. Turning
into the stretch the probabilities Of good
nnish looked promising, but Redfern ham
died Carbnncle skilfully and he came home
winner by two lengths, the other two con-
tenders being miles away"
The other feature of the day was the
steeplechase, but through a misunderstand-
ing OF three Of the Jockeys It turned out
to be very unsatisfactory event. Three of
the nYe starters went wrong at the first
Jump running outside the wing. as they
thought no start had been made. This
break left Connover, the favorite, and Cor
rillo alone as contenders, and the former
had an easy thing Of it.
In the first race. which was won by Del
march. Jockey Jones. who rode Aminite.
had a remarkable escape from serious in
from
the grand stand as though Jones had been
dashed against the fence, but he scrambled
to his feet and was helped home in the
patrol judges wagon. Delmarch opened
the favorite in this event. but his figures
receded as big play was made on Adel-
aide Prince and the latter went to the post
first choice. Whispers of crookedness CIR
cu1ated in the ring and as a result Jockey
Hayden was cautioned by the stewards to
do his best work on Delmarch. The warn
ing proved effective. as Delmarch won
handily, although interfered with several
times, and was much the best horse In the
race. Adelaide Prince was second and the
wise money would have cashed but for
the reawakening of Delmarch.
In the second race Cornwall was heavily
backed and went to the post a favorite.
He won, but he had to be driven hard to
beat out Hot, who closed strong and in de-
termined fashion. Alack was third. The
fifth race was an easy victory for Pigeon
Post, who made all the running and won
handly from Flora Pomona. the good thing
of the race. The sixth race went to the err
ratio Lee King, who ran practically I'M
backed. the price quoted being to 1. AS
tor, the favorite, was only beaten a head.
