stantly widening the gap between himself and the
pursuing Commando. won in a romp by a good two
lengths When he passed the judges McCue was
actually pulling him up. The impossible had hap
pened and another turf idol had been shattered.
THE WINNER WIDELY cHEERED.
AS the winner cantered back for the weighing in
he was frantically cheered by the comparatively
few who had had confidence in him or who had
taken flyer on him because of a constitutional
aversion to playing favorites The Parader could
easily have cut three-ffths of second off his time
had he been extended in the last furlong
The six furlongs in 1:l6 45, the mile in
14S S5, the mile and quarter in 2O. the mile and
half in 236 4-5 and the mile and five furlongs in
2:49 As.
Commando was a pretty tired horse when he
cantered back. and he seemed TO favor one of his
foreegs bit. but il could scarcely be said that
he pulled up lame. certainly not enough to
for his decisive defeat. Handwork tired badly
in the last furlong and Mortallo easily got the
show money. a good many critics thought Spen-
Ger made his run too soon when he went up TO
Handwork in the backstretch Certainly McCue
reckoned best when he figured that Handwork
would die away nothing in the last furlongs.
It was the best ride The Parader ever got and his
victory thoroughly earned. McCue has been
absent from Eastern tracks for some time until
recently. but if he always rioe he did yes
terday he ought TO give more after ton to riding
and less things that do not help boy TO ride
well.
