FOUR FAVORITES
WON AT AQUEDUCT

NEW YORK, April 12-Fred Burlew's
Juggler, who was badly beaten in the Car
ter handicap, was victorious in the Rock
away selling stakes. six furlongs, at Aque-
duct yesterday. Burlew believed that Jug
gler had the Carter at his mercy and those
who recalled this fact were ready to take
any price against the son Of Hamburg
Elusive, who was steady at threes. Mean
while E. r. Thomas Jacobite, who had
wintered at Sheepshead Bay, was said to be
ready, which caused the smart people who
follow form to back him down to o to 10.
But Jacobite ran as II a tri1e short for
when he seemed to have the race in hand
as he reached the middle Of the stretch he
suddenly stopped in spite Of the vigorous
whipping to which Notter subjected him.
Then it was that Hennessy rushed Juggler
to the front, the Hamburg gelding winning
by couple OF lengths in IA is.
Frank J. Farrelrs coiors were carried to
victory for the first time this year by Crap
pie. who scored q hollow victory in the third
race, handicap at six furlongs. With Beck
man in the saddle, Grapple receded in the
betting from to 10 to to when the
stable commission was placed with a lavish
hand. Workman, ridden by Miller, mean
while went back to II to 5, while the Oneck
stables Clare Russell was played down
point to s. Just as the barrier went I'D
Miller slipped foot out of stirrup and
was quickly thrown to the ground. That
settled Workmans chances, so that 1t was
just breezing gal!op the rest of the way
for Grapple. who Won as he pleased in liza.
