from the Westbury stable, was second, and
also second choice in the betting. Red
Knight. an added starter, finished third.
The thirty-seventh running of the Bel
mont brought out the worst field Of three
year-olds that has ever faced the starter
to battle for this historic> event. Afri-
cander's time. 2:21Z, was very good, being
three-quarters of second of the record
made by Commando in 1901. The start was
a good one, and Rigodon at once went to
the front, with Whorler second and
Africander third. This order was MAIN
tanned around the first turn andi into the
back stretch. Coming to the half mile pole
Bullman sent the favorite, Africander, to
the front and continued to show the way to
the bottom of the hill, with Rigodon and
Whorler alternating in second place. Odon
on Red knight was lying last, about five
lengths behind the field, and riding a
splendid race. Rounding the top of the hill
Rigodon dropped back, beaten, Whorler
moving up and taking command of second
place behind Africander. At the head of
the stretch Odom began to ride, but 1t was
of no avail, Africander galloping home an
easy winner by two lengths, with Whorler
second and Red knight third.
The Eclipse stakes for two-year-olds at
5k furlongs of the Eclipse course was won
easily by w. c. Whitney's Leonidas. There
were only two starters for this race. with
Leonidas favorite. The pair ran like a
team to the dip where Leonidas moved out
and won easily by one length.
