OF to I-Delmarch Takes High
weight Handicap From The Amazon.
NEW YORK, July 29-Only one IA
vcIitc wen for the form players at
Brighton Beach today. and that was the
crack o-year-old Africander, who cap
turcd the Winged Foot Handicap from
Injunction in lightning fast time.
There were only three starters, the
odd one being Smiles and Kisses. The
distance was five and one-halS fuTlCDgs.
Africander, with tcp weight, 119 pounds,
was much the best, so the talent fig
ured. and was accordingly made an
odds-on fayorite. his price being Il TO
20 at the post Injunction was played
quite heavily at II to 10, with to fer
the place. while Smiles and Kisses was
reduced from 90 10 TO u 10 /.
Afrfcander displayed SO much speed as
soon as he lett tho barrier that he had
two lengths over injunction at the guar
ter pole Nearing the turn. Shaw took
the Keone colt up with a rush, so that
they raced into the stretch practically
on even terms.
Struggle to the Wire.
Then Africarder, let down. drew away,
but again Injunction sprinted gamely
under the whip until Martin was com
PEELED to subject the favorite to mild
drive to win on the wire by neck.
Africander's time. 1905 3-5. equaled the
track record, held by Eusenia Burch. In
junction was ten lengths before Smiles
and Kisses.
The first race for two-year-olds at
five furlongs resulted in an upset for
the followers Of form that was entirely
unexpected. Woodlake was a 1-to-2 IA
vorite, but he failed TO get inside the
money. Burns rode him all over the
track, humping into Tioga and Kentucky
Rose, and then falling away out of 1t.
In driving finish Jerry. backed down
to Is to l, showed great gameness, com
ing from behind and winning on the
post by 4 head in 1:0I 10. Tioga was
second. a head before kentucky Rose.
who took third money from Knockna-
gov by a neck. The latter was a neck
better than Squid, at $50 TO l.
Talent Has a Tumble.
There was another tumble in the sec
ond race for selling platers. at one
and one-sixteenth mics. Military, at
threes. was a slight favorite over Cogs-
well at 16 to .. Smith made too much
use OF the latter. so that he could not
finish better than third. Rough Rider, at
TO /. was the winner by a half length
over Military, who beat Cogswell neck.
Fifteen horses ran, and the time was
1:47 i-5.
The third race, a lightweight handi
cap for three -year-olds and upward
was run in i fog that cnveloped the
start and made it impossible TO take
any time. The Amazon was SO much In
demand that she was played from
to to a to 10 favorite. Sweet Tooth
and Delmarch both receded to fours.
Delmarch rushed to the front with
out delay and came into the stretch
with a comfortable lead. but The ANA
zon responded so gamely under O'Con-
nor's whip that Delmarch in drive
only beat her 4 neck in the last jump.
Dinna Forget, ten lengths behind, beat
Locket, 40 TO /, by three lengths.
a good field of horses started in the.
last race, at a mile and a sixteenth.
NoneS was made the favorite at even
money, but he could do no better than
third place; Green Morris three-year-
old Sombrero winning. with Bellario
second. The latter is much improved
horse and seems to have regained his
wo-year-old form. He will win soon
in good company.
