tumble 6nish between Tangie and Whimsical in
a sprint for nllies the only incident at the
track this afternoon that disturbed the usual
isssItude OF Friday racing, unless the victory
of one of Father BIZ Days horses be ex-
copied
II IS SO long now since The green above the
red has been disauietins factor in the dope
students problems that when II is brought home
In front II can sinost be classified under the
head OF a sensation.
The colt that carried the familiar colors in
this instance was veronese. Henry of Navarro
that has shown some class since he was intro
duced 10 the public last spring at Aqueduct.
The race he won and that In which Whimsical
and Tangle bumped each other all through the
stretch proved the iivelie.t speculative mediums
Of the Gay.
Tangle and Whimsical were practically equal
choices in q field Of eight two-year-old fllies
that we're asked to go five and a half furlongs.
As soon the stretch reached the two

layers by drawing away from the field and fight
ing il out between themselves Both ran head
and head from the eighth pole, and both bumped
and shouldered each other repeatedly.
Shaw. Who rode Tangle, was on the inside
and found it impossible TO use his whip. Mar
by desperate riding landed his mount a scant
nose in front at the deciding post. Shaw COM
plsined 10 the stewards thar Whimsical had
borne in upon him. but both nlies appeared
10 be equally TO blame. the claim OF foul was
oiss!lowed
In the absence OF Father Bilr' DAILY, who is
racing some castoffs at the Parkway Driving
Club meeting. at Gravesend with his customary
advice TO play him all three ways" the club
house plungers discovered by employing the
not entirely unknown method of throwing out
races that Veronese had an excellent chance
OF beating such youngsters Sly Ben, Lady
Navarro and couple of others. and the COM
missions that they sent in on him mace the
ring vince and then rub.
The wager of p. H. McCarren and his follow
ing, however, Sly Ben helped 10 buoy the
price against the good thing. and. although the
prices were lowered until to / was accepted
I'll. Ben strone colt went 10 the post the actual
fsvorite
Miller got Veronese away flying and kept
him in front all the way while the pluneers
tHisteu themselves into bow knots riding him
home" The efforts were repaid as neither Lady
Navarro nor Sly Ben could catch him in the
stretch.

races this afternoon, and finished outside the
money in each. II is the first attempt at re-
peating that has been made this year
