shattered at Belmont Park yesterday, ana loi

feeling that the long race would duh the edge
of her speed, and she all but neglected IN the
betting until her price drffted back to 10 10 l.
when light play forced II down TO y to l.
Oxford was the short price favorite in this race
on the strength of his last victory a few days
apo when he made a worlds record for six and
a half furlongs on a circular track. He was
beaten off, but not from any fault of his own. as
he was knocked out of his stride and carried
wide at the stretch turn, which effectually ended
any chance he might have had.
In point of fact, Dishabille and zienap, which
finished first and second respectively. were the
only ones which had any chance from the head
of the stretch home. They saved ground on the
rail. and earned an advantage Of four or five
lengths. while Ben Ban. the early pacemaker'
was carrying out and interfering with the other
three horses in the field. Rounding the stretch
turn all six horses were practically heads apart,
and Horner. on oxford. showed poor judgment
in making his run on the outside. with the
chances all in favor of his being carried vide.
Dishabille might have won. but il is safe to say
that Oxford would have forced her out, even II
he had not beaten her. Ben Ban should have

foul made and the stewards allowed the
placing TO stand.
