ner in the Stretch and Breaks

NEW YORK. July 2. = Before a
crowd of 10000 persons ]. B. Haggin'S
Waterboy, with Odom up, won the
Suburban Renewal, worth $4,000. at
SheepShead Bay today. The black son
of Water Cress broke the track record
for the mile and quarter by covering
the distance in 1904 3-5, which is two
fifths of a second faster than the pre-
yious record made by the mighty Sal
yator in 1890 The Brooklyn handicap
winner, Irish Lad, was second. and
Goldsmith, the favorite, bad third.
The crowd began to arrive early and
by the time the big race was run the
grand stand was mass of bright col
OrS. The weather was a trif1e hot, but
just suitable for a record-breaking per-
Torrance.
Goldsmith. from the W. c. Whitney
stable, was made a hot favOrite, with
Whitney & Duryea's Irish Lad second
choice, and Waterboy next in demand.
Only few moments was lost at the
post and they were away to a good
start Blues was first to show, with
Irish Lad second. and Waterboy third.
Goldsmith was fifth. Blues showed the
way around the first turn and into the
back stretch. with Irish Lad second.
Going down the back stretch Blues
opened up a gap of two lengths on
Irish Lad, with Waterboy right at the
latter's heels. The favorite was run
ming in fifth position. Rounding the far
turn Burns, on Irish Lad, and Odom,
on Waterboy, went after the leader,
Blues. Foot by foot they closed the
gap, and at the mile pole both had
Blues beaten.
Coming into the stretch WaterbOy
and Irish Lad were running like a
team, both boys reserving their
strength for the final effort in the last
eighth of mile. At the mile and an
eighth pole Burns went to the whip,
and although the three-ye ar-old re-
sponded gamely, he was never able to
head Waterboy, who gradually drew
was second. seven lengths in front of
Goldsmith. The fractional time of the
race is as follows:
u 1-5, "a. 36. .4SM. 100 3-5. lib, 1926
1:39 1-5. 1852. 2:04 3-5.
