FAVORITES In DEFEAT
FIVE CONE TO GRIEF.
Don Enrique Wins Stake on Last
Dan at Jamaica Track.

It was getaway day at the Jamaica racetrack
yesterday, and a characteristic Far down

was lacking because of the size OF the field and

off rounding the far turn and came away to

Hood. Reene w, Royal Lady. Killaloe and
DanosCara were the beaten choices. Miller

bad day also. more particularly he had the
mount on two favorites and two second choices.
Don Enrique at to 1, won the RavenswoOd
Handicap after spirited drive through the last
furlong with Momentum. which made the run

Whitney scratched Baby Wolf and depended
upon Killaoe. This was accepted as a tip"

lukewarm favorite at 13 to 5. although her
cent form hardly justified it. Momentum and
Oraculum were also in good demand, while
Purslane quietly backed for killing from

not neglected. but were in less demand than the
others
Those who bet on Purslane had many hard
things To say about the starter. the colt
left at the post while Killaloe Jared little better.
Momentum made the running up the back
stretch and around the turn, with Don Enrique
and Oracuum heads apart behind him. The
last named dropped back beaten as the field
turned for home, but Don Enrique went on after
Momentum and wore him down after long.
hard drive.
Frank Lord. one of the most consistent two
year-Olds year ago. won his first race of the
season in the opening event. He had been tried
and found wanting so often that few had the
courage to bet on him, and he went TO the post
at the lucrative price of 10 to /. He acted
better than usual at the post. and. going right

bet the mare had good reason to sulk the rest
of the afternoon, as she probably the best
at the weights. Mers handling OF Robin
Hood also aroused much unfavorable criticism.
The gelding acted sore going to the post and did
not break with his usual speed. Miller seemed
quite content, however. to let him loaf along
far in the rear until turning for home. when all
too late the horse raced up into a COntending
position. AlenCOn. backed from to to TO l,

the race, finished next to last and last. respec-

he warmed out of it and did not lack for speed

hung when most required and finished
third.
Clyde was lame going TO the post that it
seemed a pity that he should be called upon to
race. He died in harness, so to speak, as he
broke down so badly just before the finish that
he could hardly hobble off the track, and
bullet put him out of his misery
Danoscara was probably the best in the ham
dcap at a mile and sixteenth, but Miller
could not keep her out of difficulties. and she
was shut off and knocked about to such an eX-
tent that It was little short of remarkable that
she finished third. Pins and Needles which
