NEW YORK, May 16.-With nineteen
horses blue-penciled from the Bronx Parh
Handicap. run over the withers mile, at
Morris Park this afternoon, the race
seemed to lie between Perry Bel
mont's three year-old Falsetto colt Fly
wheel and R. T. Wilson's fve-year-old
eelding Carbuncle. When it came down
to betting, Carbuncle was backed down
from 6 to s to 4-to-5 favorite, while Mr..
Belmonts colt went up from to 2 to As.
Buckley G. Bailey's Redpath, too, went
back half point from to i, but Henry
J. Morris four year-old colt. Surmise. by
Sir Dixon Conjecture. carrying only IS
pounds, was such a tempting bait at 10
to that many bettors put their money
on straight and place until he fell to
TO ] at post time. These spectators had
not forgotten the fact that not long ago
Surmise had run second to the great
Water Color in fast time, and few days
later had finished third to Smoke and St
Finan, SO that when today's race was
over II was not at all strange that Sur
misses followers let loose chorus of joy
full shrieks.
Flywheel Disappointed.
Booker attempted to make runaway
race of it with Flywheel, who showed in
front, with Redpath clinging to him,
until the Eclipse crossing was reached
There odom moved up with Carbuncle and
little George Thompson began to bring
Surmise up. As a result the four horses
rushed into the stretch so close together
that ii looked to be anybody's race at this
1uncture. Carbuncle had Flywheel beaten
furlong from home, both boys whipping
when suddenly Surmise, also under the
whip, came along on the outside with
great rush.
Thompson never rode better race
In his life, and as the trio dashed past
the 50-cent field Surmise was overhaulng
Carbuncle at every jump, while Flywheel, |
killed by his own pacemaking, faded away
Odom laid the whip on hard in the last
fifty yards, and II looked as IL Carbuncle
would get the verdict, but Surmise never
faltered. and in a sensational finish the |
Sir Dixon colt won by a short neck in |
the fast time of 1:40%. Flywheei was l
five lengths away and three lengths in |
front of Redpath.
Good Afternoons Sport.
This event wound up in fitting way
an afternoons sport that, while 1t did |
not bristle with rich stake events and /
high-class thoroughbreds, was thoroughly 1
enjoyed by a crowd of 5000 racegoers.
Form was not altogether out of consist
ent running gear either as two favorites,
two second choices and third got home
in front.
Outside of the Bronx Park Handicap.
l
the fourth. in which the horses were rid
den by apprentices, and the display made
by the youngsters, barring that of Fetch
er, who rode Irritable, was a farce. Ir-
ritable was torrid favorite being played
down from threes to to s, while Bon
Mot, originally the favorite at TO 5,
went back to 5 to 2. There was hot tip
floating around on Kingraine, and a
plunge cut his price from fifteens TO
sevens. 6oysterer and Colonel BIZ were J
also played well at liberal odds.
Terry's Brother Philip.
Terry McGovern's midget brother Philip !
had the mount on Father Bill Days
Handicapped, and the moment the horses
came out of the paddock, the boys moth ,
er, from good seat in the grandstand, !
let everybody know that Philip was her I
beloved son. That's him. cried Mrs. Nc
Govern, "ain't he broth of boy" But !
the devoted mother was doomed TO bitter !,
disappointment, as Philips horse was ne +
better than fifth, even though the boy laid
on the whip just as Terry hands out the &
and swings. v
Irritable made the running, with Bon s
Mot and Kingraine following 10 the head 4
of the stretch. Then every boy except
Fletcher drew his whip and logged away
for dear life. Kingraine responding to II
Kings punishment rushed up on even "
terms with Irritable, but Fletcher never j
once losing his head and riding the colt
out cleyerly with his hands and heels. "
landed the prize by head. Kingraine (,
was two lengths before Roysterer, who l,
beat Bon Mot head. T
