HARD TUMBLES FOR
TALENT AT AQUEDUCT

NEW YORK. November 15.-The tables
were turned on the form players at Aque-
duct yesterday and thousands of dollars
were lost to the ring. Five solidly played
favorites were defeated in the most dis
tressing manner. The running of the Oak
dale Handicap. for two-year-olds. six fur
longs, was a hard knockdown for the smart
set. Matt Byrnes' Stray, backed by in
siders from 20 down to To- made all the run
ming and won easily by two and a half
lengths from James r. Keene's Zanbesi,
who went back to ) to 2 Three lengths
away came ]. E. Seagraves Main Chance,
heavily backed at to s. who managed
to nose Frank Gill. the top weight and to
favorite. out of third money. The time
was LA
The defeat of H. B. Duryea's Dreamer
was another pitfall He was literally back
ed off the boards in the handicap for all
ages. seven furlongs. but Miller rode him
so badly that the big operators threw up
their hands. Miller got Dreamer pocketed
on the rail at the outset and even when
he secured plain sailing he made no at
tempt to keep the Hamburg gelding out Of
the heavy going. d. c. Johnson's Hand
zarra, who went up to 5 to l. meanwhile
made all the running on the outside of
the track Shaw bringing her home the
easiest kind of winner by half a dozen
lengths in 1.27. Ginette. also neglected at
to 2. ran into the place five lengths be-
two-year-old. by a head.
Miller's Foul Riding.
Miller was guilty Of foul riding on Min
tia, II to 8. in the second race, for platers
at six furlongs. He bore out all the way
down the stretch and plainly prevented lit
tie Drolette. who rode Varieties. Is to 10 ia
vorite, from doing his best. Mintia won
by length and a half, keeping Varieties
close to the outer rail. where he had the
same margin over Bon Mot, 20 to
shot. Drolette claimed foul. but the stew
ards ignored him. The race was run in
LA 3-5.
Beauclere. to 10 favorite. was much the
best in the first race. for two-year-olds, one
mile. He was only gallOping at the end
with five lengths over Judge Davey. 25 to
j. who led for three-auarters and beat Re-
side. at one time 100 to 1 In the betting, by
four lengths. The mile was run in 1.41 So
A. Muskoday, 10 to / shot, shocked the
talent with a glaring form reversal in the
fourth race. at mile and flve-sixteenths.
He made the running from the start, dis
posing Of Tipping. 3 to favorite, at the
end of a mile. and then finishing strongly
length and a half in front Of Palette
% to 1. who in turn trimmed Sir Ralph
3 to 1. by neck. Youngstown, who went
up to 5. was half a length back. The time
was 2.15
Transmute. backed from 10 down to s.
after making practically all the pace, lasted
long enough to win the sixth race for
three-year-old fllie. one mile by a couple
of inches in 1.42. Mollie Donohue, even
money favorite, who was gaining rapidly,
would have won in another jump Clois-
teress, 3 to /, was length back. Com
mune, framed for a killing. nearly killed
her hackers when she ran last. The at
tendance was about 1000.
