the Flatbush stakes yesterday his owner,
Paul j. Rainey, was showered with con-
BrafulAtions. Remembering the many dis
appointing defeats suffered by this expen-
stve colt, turfmen expressed unbounded
satisfaction over his success, lnasmuch as
the young Cleveland millionaire has dis
played the right sort OF sportsmanship ever
since he made his frst how as an owner.
De Mund's share OF this stake was $500.
but unfortunately Rainey did not bet on his
colt at the generous odds Of IL 10 1. but IL said
20 have placed a good sized wager on Elec-
tioneer. Another happy man over the result
was Newton Bennington. who sold De Mund
70 Rainey.
Z knew he was a GOOD colt all along, said
BepAinRton. but his poor showing made
me look ridiculous. ] am delighted that he
won, for Rainey deserved success after being
willing to pay such a big price for the young
stef."
