have stunned the crowd at Jamaica yesterday
more than the defeat Of Frank Farrell's keator
In the opening event. On form and work.
Keator, with Miller in the saddle, looked ike
the surest Of sure things. He opened at 3 to S.
which under the circumstances seemed an
extremely liberal price. and the plungers who
care Tor sucn things went TO him solidly.
Dave johnson wagered I 1000 on keator with
Cad Doggett In one bet. while he got down
"A 900 more with other bookmakers. Farrell
placed nearly s5. 900. while those who bet on
his horses got down big commissions. too.
At the post Miller did his best to get the
ugly tempered son OF CharaXus away, but
when the barrier went UP Keator stuck his
toes in the turf and refused to bulge an inch
until the rest Of the field was a furlORg away.
Then Miller induced him TO move ana came
in far behind the others. while the
laughed heartily. Keator was as good as
left with Shaw up In a previous race, so that
with Yesterdays disaster he was passed up
as a poor betting proposition. The ring won
probably 500, 900 on the defeat OF this fsvorite
and followed it up with a profitable day all
around.
Lucky Jack McGinnis cleaned up hand
somely for the winter on Frank Gnl ami Coy
Maid, the winners OF the two handicaps.
McGinnis told his friends In the clubhouse
that Frank Gill was a cinch. He bet all OF
81, 600 straight. at an average OF 8 to I. $1,000
a place at s and 81. 600 third at almost even
money, which Melted nearly $4,000 for him
when the colt galloped home. Then he had
O., 200 straight on Coy Maid and the same
amount third. which footed up sl2,O 0 more.
Lucky Jack may have won more than this.
but conservative persons said that he picked
up at least SIS, 900 on the two races. John j.
Gates bet on both Frank Gin and Coy Maid,
and so did Edward Slender. who had one
of the best days he has enjoyed this year.
Gates could not be induced to place even a
sympathy bet on the colt Charles G.. Gates in
the last race. but placed $500 on John W.
Rogers. +. G. McLewee. the owner Of Coy
Maid, backed her extensively and also had a
good bet three ways on Frank Gill.

Jack Martin, the Jockey. 1t was widely cir
culated that when Martin rode the hlly she
would win. She was backed once before
when Sewell rode. but there was nothing
doing, apparently. Then she was passed up
