great little 2-year-old PAGER, was the
star of the day yesterday afternoon at
Agricultural park Ably handled by Jake
Brolliar, Rockaway took the pacing
event for 2-year-olds in straight heats,
and while McFadden was always a con-
tender Rockaway had things as much
his own way as did zolock in the 200
race Tuesday.
Rockaway went the first mile in 2:151s,
thereby beating the time of Delilah,
the crack 2-year-old Of last year, by a
full second. Rockaway showed won
derful action and staying qualities for
a colt, coming the last quarter like an
old campaigner with never a suspicion
of quitting. In the first heat Brolliar
drew the pole position and took his
charge to the front in the first eighth.
McFadden, handled by Hoy, hung onto
Rockaway, and there was little to chose
between them in the first half. After
that Rockaway began to draw away
and took the heat pulled up, with Nc
Fadden coming strong two lengths
in the rear
Siegfried was never in the reckoning,
breaking and putting up miserable
race all through the mile. Mogladl
kept her feet and managed to take the
third position handily. Rockaway
flashed between the sticks in 2:151s and
earned the right to be classed among
the best and most promising 2year-
olds in the country. The colt went the
first quarter in :341a, to the half in
1:O6A. The three-quarter pole flashed
by in 1:42.
Things didn't appear so promising
for Founders horse in the second heat.
Rockaway broke going into the back
stretch and McFadden assumed a dan
gerous lead on the Founder footer.
Brolliar wasn't disturbed by this, how
ever, but brought the colt right back
to stride, and while McFadden began
to nose Rockaway for the lead after
the half Rockaway was equal to the
occasion and left McFadden lengths
behind at the wire.
Jupiter, 3: a sWinnero
The-2:17 .trot was eproductive~of four
keenIy contested heats, with Jupiter B.,
The ocohifnohwssltRs and xvRst Is 1t
the contenders for first money. In
the first mile The Commonwealth and
Jupiter B. came away from the field
in the last eighth, Commonwealth TAX
ing the heat rather handily, with
Jupiter B. and What Is 1t crossing in
the second and third positions respec-
lively. Both Commonwealth and
Jupiter B. broke badly at the draw
gate, but Commonwealth came back to
stride first and pounded under the wire
a winner. But for the break Jupiter B.
would have finished the race in three
heats, for he had a safe lead on Com
monwealth and proved his mastery by
coming right back and capturing the
race in the following three heats. Zam-
bra, the holder of the worlds five-mile
trotting record, was never dangerous,
having developed a tendency to claw
the ozone at the critical moment.
Jupiter B. won the following three
heats in the last eighth in each instance.
When the whip was laid on by Durfee
Jupiter came away from the remainder
of the field as If they were tied.
The 2:17 pace brought out some rat
ting miles between John R. Conway
Economizer and Mistake. Economizer
and Mistake fought out the first heat
Conway making good bid. but being
unable to do better than third. Kent
hammered Mistake effectively in the
final drive, the gelding responding no
bly, and stalling off Economizer.
The next three heats were John Con-
ways all the way, although George
Meese's side wheeler found himself in
company about as fast as he would
care to handle. In the second heat Con-
way hung back until the last eighth
pole was reached, when he flashed tc
the front with an ease annoying to
those who held tickets on Mistake and
Economizer. Economizer appeared to
have the second heat bundled up, but
when the real racing began Conway
simply romped away from the field.
The third and fourth We're a repetition
of the second Major Sultan and Anna
Turner both falling before the dis
tance flag in the last mile.
Today's card includes the three-year-
old and 2;27 trot and the 2:24 pace. In
the latter event Glenn, Virginia and
Bessie Barnes will again appear AS
a result Of her decisive triumph in the
;27 pace on the opening day of the
meeting. Glenn is assured of heavy
backing this afternoon.
