NEW YORK. July 6.-Gold Heels, who
won the Brighton Handicap yesterday,
IS the third Suburban winner TO land
the Brighton Beach classic. Ben Brush,
Mike Dwyer's good horse, was the first
thoroughbred that won both events.
This was in 1897. In 1899 the great mare
Imp won the Suburban and two weeks
later the Brighton Handicap The vic
tory of Gold Heels yesterday, however,
was, much more of triumph than the
winning of the two races by either of
the other two horses, as The Bard horse
took up top weight in both races and
won. whereas neither Ben Brush nor
Imp carried anything like the weight
that Geld Heels did yesterday.
KirIey Mac, it will he remembered
took both the Brooklyn and Suburban
landicaps, but he. too. carried compara-
lively light weight; so that Gold Heels
performance yesterday, from the stand
point OF time and weight, breaks all
records for race at the distance ever
run in this country. 1t stamps the
horse as one oi the best thoroughbreds
ever foaied in America, and his part
owner, Diamond Jim" Brady, was not
very far wrong when he enthusiastically
declared after the race was over that
Gold Heels was "the best horse in the
world
Gold Heels the Best.
It is true that Blues forced the son
of The Bard to his limit in crder 10
win, but Gold Heels won, and he has
beaten Blues before in decisive man
ner; SO that the contention Of Blues
admirers that the Farrell horse would
have won but for interference is hard
" sound. Blues is a good hcrse, and
is apparently just rounding into form,
and it may be that he will defeat Gold
Heels before the season is over; hut in
his present shape Gold Heels surely
has the better OF the other.
The splendid Victories of Cold Heels
this year forcibly exemplify the lot
terry Of buying race horses. In his two
year-old form Gold Heels was only a
very ordinary performer, winning but
two races, and his owner, Mr.. Whitney,
did not think him worth keeping. SO ne
parted with the horse for a compara-
lively trifing sum. No doubt he would
be very glad to have him back now.
The horses improved form will prob
ably draw closer attention in the fu-
ture to the get OF Mr.. Cassatts great l
sire, The Bard. Song and Dance, who |
was full brother to Gold Heels. was
the same sort of horse as his more IL /
lustrious relative. He did not amount /
TO much as i two-year- old but when /
t1 OII 6o flip
sort of horse, ana won some good races 1
for his owner. Mr.. Belmont. besides |
running third in the Suburban OF 1885, |
which Lazzarone won. Nearly all of The
Bard's offspring are OF the improving
sort.
General McLewee and Jim Brady, the
owners of tee horse, are surely in great
luck. for not only do they own Gold |
Heels, but also the most profitable /
three-year-old of the year in Major /
DaingerfeId. Nc cne is sorry for their
good fortune. however. as both men are
popular horsemen and true sportsmen.
Brighton's Program.
Brighton's program of stake events
for the coming week is a good one, and
while there are r-t 70 many stake fea
lures as there are at the other met
ropolitan tracks. all of them are at
tractive, and several of them well worth
winning. The two principal races of the
week will be run on Thursday and SAT-
urday
On Thursday the Iroquols stakes Of
s., ,OO0. fer three e-year- -olds, at a mile and
a furlong will be decided. In it are
many of the crack threc-year- of the
year. including Major Daingerheld, Mas
terman, Old England, Homestead, and
Goldsmith. 1t IS likely that neither
Major Daingerfeld ror Masterman will
start In the race, as the former pulled
UP lame after his race in the Realiza-
tion, and Masterman has been turned
out for time owing to a split hoof
Daingerheld's injury is not serious and
he will soon be all right. Indeed ne
may be starter in the Iroquois. Gold
smith will not go 10 the post in the
race. as he too has been let up and will
be sent TO Saratoga. There are enough
good horses left. however, to make a
good race.
In the Neptune Stakes Of $1,000. for
o-year-olds at six furlongs, to be run
on Saturday are Mizzen. Mexican, Irish
Lad, Artyis. Skillful, and number Of
lesser lights OF the Juvenile division.
Mizzen will likely not go to the post. ~
the horses trainer believes the colt has
trained of and viii profit by a let-up
II is no secret that Mizzen's owner An
gust Belmont, hopes and expects 10 win
the Futurity with the Hastings colt, and
he will be pointed for that race.
Irish Lad and Mexican.
Both Mexican and irish Lad will incur I
penalty Of five pounds, but despite I
this the race looks to be between the v
two. and as both are likely 10 start the i
race ought to be good one. /
