JOCKEY MILLER
ON FIVE WINNERS
CONTINUED from First Page.)

Cedarstrome. had nothing to commend
them in the way of late form. Hence II
was not surprising that the one, even with
Miller up. went to the post at II to 1. and
the other at 40 to 1. AS there were few
place and show wagers on either of the
pair and Dainty, who ran third, was
not backed for that situation because there
was virtually no price against her. 1t can be
readily understood how heavily the larger
operators crofited ON the race.
1t was lucky for Bankers hackers. how
ever. that the race was not taken away
from him for cutting off Nemesis at the
lower turn in such manner as to effec-
tually XIII the chances of the Vestal victor.
Nemesis was closing fast at the time and
would probably have been a keen con-
tender. but for Miller's disregard of her
right of way. --..
Then Cedarstrome in the run home, took
hand at humping Banker, but as the lat
ter beat him out in head finish.' no Gem
plant of foul was made against Cedar
Strome. 1t was a puzzle to the crowd,
however. why no attention was paid to the
jostlng Nemesis got. For even III jockeys
do not complain of what every one Sees. Of
ficials act on the case if advisable.
AS for Dainty and Angler. tneir per-
formances were so far below what was ex-
pected of them that their many hackers
were much disappointed. The race was
an odd all through. chapter of accf-
dents and mass of form reversals And
if run over again might show very differ
ent result.
Pretension is Disqualified.
Tie class race of the day, that between
Oxford. Pretension and Ormonde's Right.
created no end of excitement. oxford and
Oymonde's Right were thought to have the
issue between them. but Pretens!on gave all
hands good scare by the fast race he put
up. competing Oxford to make a new track
record at this course.
After Pretension had shown Oxford the
way to the far turn Miller took Oxford up
to him and rounding for home the two
horses We're close together, humping each
other repeatedly. SO far, however. bump
ing" honors were pretty even until Shilling
on Pretension carried Oxford almost to the
outside fence in the homestretch: and then
as Oxford started to draw out Shilling
grabbed hold of Millers bride rein.
This audacious attempt. however. did not
succeed. and after some more humping OK
ford beat Pretension out with something
left. Then the stewards. after deliberatlon
and the evidence of the patrol. disqualified
Pretension from second place and suspend
ed his boy Shilling for the rest of the meet
ing The boy got off light for his part of it,
which might mean total disbarment under
some constructions of his daring act
Teifare's Champion steeplechase victory
was well achieved. and the chase gave
great pleasure to the spectators. especially
as there were no fatalities in the mishap to
two of the party. large amount was
wasered on Mount Henry. but the horse did
not show as well al in his race of Wednes-
DAY last with Oleroso, and King Henry.
/. In the other events won by Miller on
Workman. Temeraire and Emperor of In
dia the horses were so much the best Of
their opponents that the crack rider had lit
tie trouble to crafty his hackers. In the
Temeraire case he outbroke his field with
John Madden's colt. but on Emperor Of In
dia a sluggish horse. he had gap to close
and had TO work his passage to get up in
time.
