lengths eased up.
1t was great day for sport among the
three jockeys. Redfern, Burns and Travers.
each boy winning two races.
The crowd was exceptionally large for an
off day. the women in the grand stand being
very much in evidence.
The defeat of Race King in the second
race was quite a shock to the heavy bettors,
and was purely accidental. Rudabek, one
of the starters. stumbled in the first half
furlong. threw his jockey. continued on
riderless and interfered with several of the
principal competitors in the race. He par
ticularly interfered with Race King. who
not at such a critical time pull up. he saia.
he took the chance of continuing on the
outside.
Burns shrewd Work.
Meantime Burns on Out of Reach, saving
q good deal of ground by 'skinning the
rail-" came up the stretch, foggfng his
mount. and on the last furlong Odom was
forced to apply the whip to Race King.
Between these two horses was Rudabek,
minus q rider with the crowd shouting
wildly. Rudabek finished In front OF Out
of Reach, who was a head in advance OF
Race King. with Weirdsome very good
third.
II was so palpably a 'fiuke" that no one
could justly blame Odom for the defeat OF
Race King. The mile was run In SLOW
time. but this was due to Rudabek. who was
in front of Race King and Out or Reacn,
and who was nearly cut down by one or
both those horses. Out of Reach in par
ticular was pulled up several times on the
turn to avoid Rudabek.
Odom also rode Oxford in the fifth race
and IL was his i'll luck when riding that hot
favorite for Preen to run the fastest SIX
furlongs of the meeting. Preen's time was
liz %, equaling the track record. made
last year by CaStaban. Oxford ran his race,
but Preen ran far above his last one, in
which, however, he was contender nearly
all the way with the winner, DArkle.
In confederation of the claim that Preen
ran far above his last race the fact is
pointed out that Santa Catalina was several
lengths behind him, whereas she just man
aged to outstay him at their previous meet
ing. If the fractional time of yesterdays
race is right the first quarter was run in %
seconds and the last three furlOngS In 81 rs
seconds which is unusual. AS a rule the
pace is all in the first part of a race, where
yesterday the race was run at almost an
equal pace throughout.
To Part Company.
James W. Colt. who has campaigned an
extensive stable of cross-country horses for
the last two seasons and his trainer, Gwyn
Tompkins, will part company at the end of
the year. and it is not likely that Mr. Colt
will race so extensively for the next season
or two. at any rate. He may, in fact, drop
out entirely for a time If he can dispose of
the horses he now owns to good advantage.
The agreement between them ends Decem-
Der 81 and will not be renewed.
Istria was a hot tip for the closing race,
and was backed from to to 3 to 1. She
behaved badly at the post and quit to moth
ing after running with the leaders for five
furlongs.
II. l. Stone has sold Pagan Bey and Wal
ter Cleary to A. c. VALDEZ of Toronto.
Pagan Bey ran in Mr.. Waldee's interest in
the three-mle handicap Thursday. Pagan
Bey was a lucky investment for Mr.. Stone
He won the horse out at Pimlico, with
something to spare, and sold him for sew
eral times the original cost. He has two
horses left in the stable, which will be
shipped TO Toronto at the close of the meet
ing here and wintered there. Nat Ray will
continue to train for Mr.. VALDEZ
Will Winter Here.
julie Carson will join the winter colony
at Benning during the coming cold season.
He does not expect to patronize the wiuter
tracks this year, and thinks 1t would be an
extra expense to ship to Morris Park md
back here in the spring.
John Pangle has decided that Mrs. Frank
Foster has had enough racing. She has
been consigned to the sale that will be
heul in the Benning paddock next Thursday
and Pangle hopes that she will attract the
attention of some breeder. Mrs. Frank
Foster is by Ben Strome-Princes Revenue.
She is a Benning favorite having been the
principal winner at the spring meeting here
last year, winning five straight races. She
still has flash of her old-tme speed but
has not won race in many moons.
I. d. ManniX came near putting a good
thing through in the closing race. Bob
Murphy, a recent addition to the string
had old King Pepper doing his best to win
by neck. Bob Murphy was 20 to 1 shot
