Gates -DRAKE BETTING CONFEDERACY
LOSES HEAVILY ON F|LLY OCEAN TIDE
Five FavOrites Go Down to
Defeat in the Saratoga
Races.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.


SARATOGA, Aug. SIN addition to
the defeat of five favorites, the features
of to-day's racing were the two races
won by Woodford Clay. The first was
a six-furlong handicap, won by Flying
Ship, which was much the best in the
race. She was badly hampered all
around the far turn and again at the
last furlong pole her rider, Helgesen,
took desperate chances to get through
next the rail- Flying Ship won by a
head from Shrine.
The plunge of the day was made by
Messrs. Gates and Drake on the latter's
filly, Ocean Tide, which was making
her first appearance this year. More
than $4,000 was wagered on Ocean
Tide by Messrs. Gates and Drake. Mr..
Pratt, the Buffalo plunger, bet heavily
on Shrine, while Armenia was also well
supported. The bulk of the money bet
on Flying Ship was for third place al
though Mr.. Lewisohn had $500 on her to
win at IL to l.
Mr.. Clay's second victory came in the
fourth race, a handicap over the turf
course, for which Grand Opera, with
l26 pounds up, was favorite Outcome
was the Clay representative, and she
was backed down from Is to l to 8 to /.
The Musketeer and New York made all
the running. At the head of the stretch
New York drew clear, but Outcome,
which left the barrier next to last and
had gradually made up her ground.
came on in pursuit. The contest was ex-
citing and ended in head victory for
the Kentucky mare. Grand Opera was
