GATES CROWD DROP
$4,000 TO BO0KIES

When Sir Lynnewood won the opening
race at Saratoga yesterday afternoon he
spoiled one OF the biggest coups of the
year. Charles G. Gates, John A. Drake
and several other western plungers con-
sidered Neva Lee such certainty to win
that they bet fortune on her, both in
the local ring and in the poolrooms
throughout the country. Men who were
in close touch with the big turf specula-
tors said that fully 10000 was lost by
these men on the beaten horse.
1t is n story of a good thing gone
wrong Many stories are told about sue
cessful coups. but this is just as inter
esting. although It failed. Neva Lee was
one OF the best mares in California last
winter. and when Handlcapper Walter
S. Vosburg only assigned 1O2 pounds to
her A. f. Dayton her owner, and F. T.
Hinckey. her trainer. were overjoyed and
said Here's where we make the killing

IN 1:2D, eQualling the track record nhue
