Special pigpateh to The Call.

NEW YORK July Silt was rather
gloomy opening day at Saratoga Low
ering clouds threatened rain and the
soaking the track had received Saturday
and Sunday left it holding and slow. The
Saratoga handicap was one of the most
open races this year so much so that ii
was to l and your pick in the botting.
As regards fitness every candidate was
at his best and the start was a good one
fo' all but Alan-a-Dale He just stood
still and would not break. The others
were strung out somewhat. Turning into
the backstretch, Wild Mint had the speed,
/ Tanya having TO be hand-ridden to
keep up with Waterlight, which was run
ming a comfortable third. From the rear
Caughnawaga and Beldame came up to
the front of the trailers.
After going a mile Tanya was tired and
Wild Mint dropped back soon afterward.
This let Waterhght up, but his lead was
OF short duration, Caughnawaga going
by him at. the home turn, Waterlight
hung on samely, but the race was over
a furlong from. home, Caughnawaga go
ing away at every stretch. Summary:
