NEW YORK, April 30.-"Father Bill
DAILY reigned supreme at Aqueduct today.
He put three winners over the plate, and
all of them were generously supported.
Trump, at to /; Bobbinet. at to /, and
Carroll D.. at evens, were the horses that
carried the DAILY colors to the front. while
the big crowd of 5000 people looked on.
The track was muddy near the inner
rail, while the going on the outside was
soft As a result the bettors were on the
lookout for mud larks. 1t was the first
day of the meeting that the track was not
fast. so form players were not altogether
surprised when four favorites were de-
feated.
Trump's victory was the biggest sur
prise of the day, all things considered, as
he ran away from a good field, including
lanceman, Lucky Star, and The Referee.
This was in the third race for selling plat
ers at a mile and seventy yards,
Lucky Star, although ridden by White,
was backed down from threes to an IL TO
5 favosit.. The Referee was also in favor
and was cut from threes to Il to ;. Lance
man on the other hand. recedad from
twos to threes, in spite of the good race
he ran on Monday after being left at the
post. Those who were next TO DAILY quiet
ly took 10 TO i against Trump. and sent
him to the post two points lower. Trump
was ridden by little ID. 0'Connor, who, by
the way, rode two winners during the
afternoon, an unusual achievement for
him.
Trump Took the Lead.
Trump rushed out at the start and
gradually increased his lead to eight
lengths nearing the far turn. The Ref
cree. with Wonderly up, put up game
chase, with shandonield, Lucky Star. and
Lanceman punched, close behind. Round
ing into the stretch Trump had six lengths
the best of it. but he began to show
signs of WEAKNESS, and Midget o'Connor
had TO ride him for all he was worth.
The Referee, under the whip, made up
ground rapidly, but Trump. in the last
sixteenth, made another effort and stag
gered past the judges stand winner by
three lengths. The Referee had to be
driven to get the place from Lucky Star
by half length. The latter was ridden
all over the track by White, and the
jockey was sharply criticised by the
crowd. Lanceman was a poor fourth.
Carroll d. Won Again.
Carroll ID. IS victory came in the fifth
event, a handicap at seven furlongs. As
DAILY was also represented by Himself in
this race the talent plastered all kinds
of money on the pair, who were coupled
favorItes at even money. Rocky, who
beat Francesca last Friday. was also in
demand at 13 to 5, while Price, supposed
IN ha pond uoc nIa,ad fro,, ,y,.as-
to fours. Alard Sheck, who made his
first appearance this season, made the
running along the backstretch neck and
neck with the two DAILY colts. Burns rid
ing under waiting orders with Rocky.
At the head of the stretch the DAILY
colts took the lead and Alard Sheck
dropped out. Then Odom came up from
the rear with Price and quickly catching
Rocky she set sail for leaders. Miles
seemed confident that he could win with
Himself, and was looking over his Shout
der at Price, when 0ConnoI, evidently
DESTROYS of clinching matters, went TO
the whip on Carroll d. and came through
close to the rail. Both Miles and O'Con-
nor were swinging their whips al the
finish, Carroll ID. getting to the wire first
by a head. with Himself in the place,
beating Price by a scant length. Rocky
was fourth two lengths back and a neck
before Alard Sheck Carroll d. showed
remarkable reversal of form.
Another for Daily.
When Bobbine. carried off the last race
Of the day the form players threw up
their hands, partially because little Miles
in driving finish put it all over Burns
who rode the prohibitive favorite Sparkle
Esther. The latter closed at j TO 2, Bob
binct getting good support at to /. The
favorite got away rather poorly. but she
rushed to the front in the first furlong
only to be headed by Bobbinet. The DAILY
flly kept in front all the way down the |
stretch. Opposite the betting ring it |
looked as If Sparkle Esher might win, but
Miles redoubled his efforts and Bobbnet |
was the winner by 2 reck. Sweet Jane, |
