NEW YORK, Sept Probably no
Jockey this year has brought down upon
himself so much adverse criticism as
did Nash Turner for his ride on W. C.
Whitney's flly Blue Girl, in the Fly
ing Handicap, at three-quarters of
mile. run today AT Sheepshead Bay. Blue
Girl, an added starter. carrying top
weight. i24 pounds. was a faporite at .
to in the opening prices. though she
receded to to ) as Featherstone s
Ha;asoo. TO. whom Mr.. Whitney's tlly
gave two pounds, was played down to
. to s.
Seven horses ran. and the moment
they left the pest Shaw let Hatasoo set
q rattling pace. Mike Dryers, Feme
sole. Gay Boy, and LUX Casta followed
in a bunch, with Blue Girl, who seemed
to stop suddenly at the first eighth
pole. several lengths back.
Swung Wide in the Stretch.
Turner drew his whip at the turn.
where he swung wide into the stretch
with the Sir Dixon-Bonny Blue ii fill
ly, but as she displayed signs of coming
them and was pulled up.
Then Turner took her to the outside
again, and the game flly, full of run
ming, tried again. Hatasoos lead was
quickly reduced to less than length by
Gay Boy, who had been bumped at the
last frrlong pole. Lux Casta was max
ing bold bid, too. with Blue Girl still
coming strongly under hard ride. At
the wire Hatasoo won by three paris
of a length, with Gay Boy, Blue Girl,
Lux Casta, and Femesole following
heads and necks apart as named.
Whips Too Late.
few jumps from the end Turner
applied the whip. but it was too late.
The crowd g-umbled audibly, and Turner
was roundly scored. Had he displayed
bis usual good horsemanship Blue Girl
could not have lost, so the turf sharps
insisted. Hatasoo's time was lis.
The other stake event was the Part
ridge. for two-year-olds at six furlongs
on the turf. After Bensonhurst had set
the pace 10 the head of the stretch An
drew Miller's Wild Thyme was let down
by Lyme and won easily by TWO lengths
in 1:14 3-5. p. ]. Dryers Merry Aero
bat, second choice, took the place by a
length from the favorite, S. S. Browns
Blue Ribbon.
Grand Opera, who was sold at the
Mackay dispersal sale at Saratoga to
..pittsburg Phil made his first appear
ance in the colors of his new owner
and easily disposed of good field. His
owner is said TO have won pile of
money OF the horses victory.
