Track Record
BY Jay Davidson

one lone favorite. Red Light, saVco
the talent from Il repetition yesterday
OF the drubbing Of Monday, when not
favorte was first to the wire
Although Red Light was the only
popular choice to win, at least three
other winners We're entitled to the
honors Of favoritism on form, and
their wins were not because of form
reversals.
Lady Allece figured to win the baby
race, although Esther B was made fa-
Norite. Elizabeth L also figured to DC
the winner Of the second race. despite
the favoritism of the bookies for Prince
Magnet Likewise, Henchmau was en-
titled to the honors in the third race,
regardless of the false price upon
Rustling Silk
All these winners had shown in pre-
Ntous outs that they were the logical
victors in their fields and were well
played by the general public. So that
the downfall of the false favorites was
only the triumph Of the legitimate and
formful running of the fields in these
races.
Lady Allece annexed the baby race
in handy fashion, getting the verdict
from Esther B by a short head on the
wire
Lady Allece finished with a great
burst of speed which carried her from
poor position in the stretch to the
front at the end.
Esther had a rough journey and
engaged in a humping match with
Blanche c at the seven-eighths pole
throwing the latter out of her stride
and causing her to finish fourth,
head behind Silver Stocking.
The judges listened to the claim of
foul by Jockey Prior on Blanche c anG
disqualified Esther B, placing Blanche
C third.
This decision was so palpably cor.
rect and righteous that not one COM
plant was made to the ruling of the
judges.
The second race was won by Eliza
beth G, long shot that was entitled
TO the post of faVoritism on form. AS
good as 10 to l could have been OBJ
tained against her chances and she
appeared TO be out of the running
after the start.
The field. was large, fourteen start
ers facing the barrier, and Elizabeth +
was away back in the bunch at the first
eighth OF a mile. She ran indifferently
until into the stretch, when Jockey
Zeigler discovered an opening and
sent the gray filly through on the rail
with the speed of a cyclone.
In the final strides Elizabeth + shot
TO the fore and ran away from her
tield, winning from Prince Magnet by
half length. Col. BrOnston got the
show money.
Henchman Wins
Henchman won the third race in q
driving finish with Or. Hollis, which
was out for his first time this season
and played for a good thing.
DR.. Hollis set the pace and led into
the stretch, but was a trhe short and
could not stall off Henchman's chal-
lenSe. Dr. McCarty finished in third
place.
Rustling Silk, the favorite, found the
pace too exciting and after laying i'll
second place to the stretch, chucked II
and finished fourth.
Cholk Hedrick turned a neat trick
IN the fourth race by beating The
Huguenot for the mile and fifty yards
journey, tieing the track record set
ny The Huguenot last week.
Lustig, the favorite, was third, tir-
ing fast as the three engaged in the
stretch duel for first honors.
After the race j. j. McCafferty. who
trains The Huguenot bid up Cholk
Hedrck from $1,000 to $1400 and bought
the gelding.
Golden Buck, which Won Monday.
came back again in the fifth race and
took another purse for J. Guthrie de-
feating Marpessa anc Bologna.
Belle Kinney was away in the lead
and held this position from the flag
10 the stretch, where she chucked It
and finished sixth.
Bologna was given one of those in
eXcusable rides, was taken back atI
the start, messed all over the track
pocketed, crowded and iammed and
then finished third.
This one was the best in the race
and should have Won all the way. She
ran the best race Of those in the field
and when in clear sailing fairly flew
Red Light beat the barrier in the
sixth race and romped all the way
Graphite. played down from los to S.
finished second, beating Tom Riley for
the place by four lengths.
Long Races Today
Long races will be the rule today and
an exceptionally good card is offered
s the attraction. Two races will be
decided over the Brooks course. The
handicap is at one and one-quarter
miles and the third race is at one mile
The feature race will be the first Of
the $1,000 haudicaps offered by the
jockey club as an additional attraction
Tor owners and the public. only half
dozen entries have been made. but
the class of the race is high and the
dumps that are the natural accompani.
ment Of the selling affairs is not to be
expected here.
Banker has up ton Of weight, but
is an improving horse aud one that Is
ANlGliudplt- AlN ~ u classy colt ana
accustomed TO high "'eisht inlposts
Borghesi is consistent and game and
also has a great turn OF speed. This
one is bear at the weights and Il is
difficult TO place him worse than
second.
Boots Durnell has Orchan in here
with all kinds of weight CT and it is
probable that he will run we'll in this
company and al this distance.
Hippocrates is an in-and-outer OF
some class and may go well. Varieties
has yet TO run out Of the money IN a
long time and must be considered.
The distance Is too great for Fl Otros
and his dazzling speed.
II should not be surprising II Banker
was first. Borghesi second and
Varieties third.
Good Luck to Repeat
There Is nothing 10 the third race
purse event at one mile. but Good
Luck. This one has yet to lose a race
