G0lD HEELS WINS BRIGHTON CUP AND
PULLS UP LAME.
GENERAL MLEwEE BLAMES ODOM FOR
THE INJURY TO THE COLT-HYPHEN
MAKES A NEW WORLDS RECORD
E1-GENIA BURcH WINS AGAIN


To his victories in the Suburban the Advance
Stakes and the Brighton Handicap. Gold Heels
the superb of The Bard-Heel and Toe yester-
day added easy success in the Brighton Cup.
There were only three starters out Of llst OF
fwenty-one eligfbles and Gold Heels's victory had
been regarded for several days as a certainty Ihe
fine four-year-old led from the moment he got into
his stride and though sun Shower stuck to him
eamey for a mile and quarter. he drew away the
moment doom allowed him his head. and won with
ease by twelve lengths
Though Gold Heels won easily. he pulled up
exceedingly lame. When he led from the
track he hobbled painfully, and it was generally
feared that he had broken down badly. big
throng gathered about him in the paddock while
his trainer examined his injured leg. After the
examination General McLewee, part owner of the
colt. announced that his off forward ankle was
badly bruised The tendon not bowed but the
injury was in such a bad place and the colt was
so lame that il was impossible to say whether he
permanently injured not. Should 1T prove
that the colt is permanently crippled every race
gOer save possibly the owner of Blues. would hear
the news with real regret
General McLewee blamed Odom for the hurt that
Gold Heels received. He said that if the boy had
let the horse when he wanted TO, instead of
saving away at his head, and throwing him out of
his stride he had doubt that the would
have come out unscathed. The Jockey had orders
the first mile in 1:39, but restrained his
mount that it in 1:42 trife for
such a horse. General McLewee was visibly irri-
teted and freely condemned Odom's violation of his
Instructions.
Certain it is that Odom fought for a mile and
half TO restrain the colts AS he passed the
stand at the end of the first mile and quarter
Gold Heels chatting under the restraint and
Odom saving away at the bit and twisting the
animal though he running away. A few
strides further Gold Heels betrayed a DISPOSE
tion run out and the jockey tapped him gently
the head a few times. At this point Sun
Shower was only length and half or two lengths
behind. but at a mile and half odom let his
mount down bit. and he romped away with ease.
IL looked for little though Surmise would take
the place from the tired FLY but she lasted well
and second by a safe margin, though pretty
well tagged The time 3:54 AS. Ethelbert
holds the record for the course-3:491s. 1t is I'M
likely in view of his lameness that Gold Heels will
start in the Saratoga Handicap August T. He
is the top weight among the eigibles being asked
TO carry 129 pounds.
For one rich in pretence, yesterdays
pretty poor card. Not only there only three
starters for the Brighton Cup. but out of four
entries for the Leopardstown Steeplechase Stakes,
Rising Sun was the only TO appear. Eophone
