The card at the grand circuit meeting
yesterday at Brighton Beach was not
very prolonged for the card Of four
events was cleared up IN ten heats.
The big feature of the race was the
10000 2:l0 pace. in which Tom Keene
was supposed to have n sure thing. He
did not come TO the front once In all the
heats and the race went 10 Frank Yokum
in 2:o6A This win was not entirely a
surprise as ii was thought by many last
week that the horse was held back al
the Empire City track. where ne failed
TO bring in any money.
on public form the race looked almost
a sure thing for Tom Keene and had
they tried with him in the first heat he
might have had a chance In the second
mile he seemed 10 be out pacing Yoa
KUN when he made a bad break and
finished last With a long mile to go in
the third heat. he was not equal TO the
task Of getting to Doble's horse with a
brush Of speed left TO outfnish him with.
Elastic Pointer rushed away at the
word. only TO fade away in the stretch,
when II came TO a drive. Frank Yoa-
KUN finished strong In 2;0eh, a cut OF
nearly five seconds in his record made
! I'm New England a few weeks ago. Jack
Curry. with Al Book. the green Texas
! horse. was second. Doble kept his horse
! in front the next heat and got a mark
OF 2:0594 against him Yoakum acted
tired at the end Of the mile and the
| opinion was general that he could not
get home i'm front OF his field again.
J Star Hal stepped of 10 the front In
! the third mile and led into the stretch.
/ Then the clip proved too much for aim
and he gave way to Tom Keene and
/ Frank Yoakum Doble drove his horse
with excellent Judgment and when II
| came 10 the test. had the fresher horse
| Saunders gave the favorite hard drive

champion and ~ only fear is of
strong wind Dan Patch has been un
lucky in getting good days. and his train
er saws that ~ II only a question of per
feet conditions when he beats 1884. Nc
