Water Light Ran Unplaced in Reapers
Stakes

James B. Brady's Water Light by water
cress-Lumina, for whom he paid $lo,oo0
last year, and who recently won the Dol
phin stakes was tried again in the Reapers
stakes for three-year-olds, one mile ana
three-sixteenths, at Sheepshead Bay yes
terday. and this time ne was found want
ing. Opening at 3 to 3. his price went back
to 6 to s. while Coy Maid, to whom he con-
coded twenty pounds was backed down 10
7 to 2, and Oliver Cromwell maiden who
was beaten by Suffice and Pioneer In the
selling race the other day, was backed
from to / down to fours. This evidence
of wisdom was shown to have been based
upon careful calculations, for Water Light
was badly beaten, while Coy Maid In
heavy drive won from Oliver CromWeIl Dy
a head Coy Maid was taken out by Wine
Knapp to run the Brady colt into submits
sion The latter with 126 pounds on his
back. was ridden to death by ONelll, and
at the head of the stretch he began 10
crack Then Burns moved up with Oliver
Cromwell, and passing Won Irolnp VIM
had been third all the way he went after
Coy Maid in vain, the latter running a
good game race. Won Tromp was third,
two lengths away, with Water Light five
lengths back. The time was 2ol 80.
The defeat of Dave Johnson's Roseben IN
the second race, for all ages, at six FUR
longs, was the most shocking event of the
day, The great sprinter picked up 137
pounds. and, with only Jocund and Biucner !,
to beat, he was a prohibitive favorite at 4
to Z Jocund who was in receipt OF twenty
pounds from Roseben, was well played,
however, at to 2. Roseben took the lead
at the start, but at the head or the stretch
he was carried a trif1e-wide by Butcher.
whereupon Shaw suddenly shot Jocund
through on the rail so quickly that O'Neill,
on the favorite, was taken completely oy
surprise. After that Jocund simply gallop-
ed home an easy winner by four lengths in
1:141-5 Roseben being too tired to wear
him down. The latter was half dozen
lengths in front Of Butcher.
Sydney Paget's Jacobite, generally neg
lected at 10 to 1, was victorious in the
Dash stakes for two-year-olds, five fur
longs. He got up under the whip In time
to beat T. c. McDowelis Kings Daughter
a 20 to 1 shot, by a length. The latter
made nearly all the running and had q
length over James r. Keene's Kuroki, to
I. who made up much ground In the run
through the last quarter OF a mile y Neil
for some reason pulled Belmere up at the
start This colt was equal favorite at
16 to with Sir Huon, who never had a
chance The time was OBS 80.
Killkare who was played from 200 to
down to GO to /, made all the pace IN the
first race for maiden two-year-old hllies,
five furlongs and won in drive by a
length August Belmonts Bivouac, to
favorte, was driven Into the place, half q
length before Leonora W., who was played
from 6 to l to to e. and, coming from the
ruck. nailed third money by half length
from James r. Keene's ST. Ursula, who,
coupled with Bribery, ruled second In favor
at Is to 8. The race was run In O:o9 40.
M L. Hayman's Right Royal. backed
down to to /. got welljudged ride from
Perrine in the last race, at mile and a
half, on the turf and coming from behind
in the stretch. he won by couple or
lengths In 2:36 4-5. A. L. Aste's Hippoc-
rates, to l. always prominent. got the
place from Liela, the favorite, by length
and half 1t was a disastrous day for the
form players, as all six favorites were
beaten. Fully 1900 persons were at the
track.
