The Aoueduct track was sea Of sloppy
mud yesterday, and form players were up
against the hardest game OF the present
meeting. Six favorites wallowed home I'M
successfully, and the majority Of the crowd
went home with empty pockets.
The best finish of the day from spectac-
ular point of view occurred in the Roslyn
handicap for three-year-olds, at a mile ana
a sixteenth. Ahumada, noted mud run
ner, was snapped up at even money ana
closed at to TO- But at the last moment
there was a concerted rush to get aboard
Andrew Miller's Wild Thyme at threes,
which forced the price down point. The
race was a duel between them from the
start. O'Neill took Ahumada to the front
instantly and had length over via
Thyme as they turned into the stretch.
Then Redfern went to work with Mr.. NIL
ler's filly. and when they reached the emu
of the grandstand they were exactly on
even terms AS Wild Thyme got her head
in front ONeill went to the whip. and
Ahumada swerved toward the rail, at the
same time getting up on even terms. But
Redfern redoubled his efforts. and in
drive that brought deafening cheer from
the crowd Wild Thyme took the race by
nose in las is. Ahumada was fifteen
lengths before Florham Queen.
Those who were mindful of the fact that
the get of Hastings, as a rule, can run in
the mud did not overlook Forward and
Nine Spot in the first race, at seven fur
longs. Forward, three-year-old gelding
by Hastings-Fetish, was played down to
SKIES while Nine Spot, a three-year-old
daughter of Hastngs-Nnevah, was low
cred to Fights. The form players, however.
went to Early Eve, to 5 favorite, who ran
such a poor race that many dark looks
were turned toward her owner. Billy Gray,
former prize fight promoter. Worry, 800
to 1 shot. was in front to the head Of the
stretch, where Forward, reveling in the 60
ing, came away to a galioping victory by
three lengths in 1.30 %. Morokanta, 90 to
/, was the same distance before Nine Spot,
who came from nowhere in the last quar-
ter of a mile and beat Worry length and
a half. Early Eve, after showing promi-
nently for couple of furlongs. died away.
She had absolutely no such speed as she
displayed in previous races, although an
acknowledged mud lark.
