.ECSTATtC 2.O6 FAVORITE
FAILS TO make GOOD

The grand circuit horses made a fine
start at the Hld.on River Driving park
at Poughkeepsie yesterday
Two out of the three favorites made
good, the one TO fall down being the Yer
mont mare Ecstatic. who was a favorite
over the field In the 2:06 pace. How the
mare came to lose the race is something
that her hackers have been trying to fig
ure out since the race. She got away
in the front tier in the first heat, hut
instead of going to the front at the first
turn, as every one was expecting her 10
do. she fell back into the ruck. The
Friend made several breaks during the
first half and was away back at the half.
but paced n storm from there 10 the wire
and finished a close second to Graft IN
2:05iz, 1t was Grat all the way the sec
ond heat, which was done In 2:06. Dick
Mcmahon landed the place with Citation
after hot argument with Texas Kookcr
Both Mainsheet and Angola were well
played for the 2:07 trot but the mare
was n slight favorite over the stallion,
who was coughing badly. The son Of Di-
rector General stepped of and won the
first heat handiy, the California mare
Tuna getting the place. Aristo and Leo
nardo came together at the turn, which
second heat Angola fairly electrified the
crowd by her speed. She went around
Mainsheet at the turn. and up the back
side fairly sailed away from her field. AT
the three-quarter pole she was dozen
lengths ahead OF Mainsheet aid just SIM
ply waded home In front. new race
record for the track and also the fastest
mile by trotter this year. The middle
half OF the mile was in i:011f. The decid-
ing heat OF the race was easily won by
Angola.
Turley. Ed Gecrs' old war horse. who
had been acting badly all through the
race. got his right foot forward at the
finish or the heat and came from away
back and ripped the place from Leonar-
do The latter trotted a capital race and
was separately timed In 2:07% Jimmy
Brady was up behind the East View
fran gelding Aristo. and. despite the fact
that he was unlucky. having been mixed
up in three different collisions during the
race, he made a pretty fair showing.
John Crabtree's gelding Nut Boy, with
the only McHenry behind him. was ia
vorite over his field for the 2l5 trot The
geldlng made no mistakes. and IL was
only play for him TO dispose OF very
fair field OF 2;l5 trotters.
