NOSED OUT ON CRIPPLE.
Hot Shot GallOps Home in the

lack Martin got rousing welcome at Aque-
suct yesterday i'm the parade 10 the post on
crsDfle. IN the Flushing Stakes 1t was his first
,,o,ut since the stewards Of the Jockey Club
granted him a riding license. a few days ago,
after holding up his application for two or three
weeks The crowd not only clapped vigorously
hut cheered as well, and 10 all appearances the
boy is surprisingly popular with racing folk
lie Gid not begin particularly we'll as Grapple at
;he prohibitive price of TO s. was beaten a
head by Campaigner. II may be said in all fair
ness. however, that Martin was I'm no way re-
sponsible sor the defeat OF the Metropolitan
Handicap winner last year. lie laid off the pace
IN the run up the backstretoh and around the
.urn made his run when Strengthened out in
the stretch and rode strong finish The light
" weighted Campaigner hung on with grim de-
termination. however, and outgamed Grapple in
the last few strides.
In spite Of the fact that Campaigner was
beaten by a despised maiden on "Wednesday
when a strong odds-on favorite many shrewd
handicappers bet on him at 10 yesterday 10
beat Grappe. He had twenty-five pounds on
and all things considered, the price was gen
erous one. The midget. Henry. handled him
like a veteran. He did not lose an inch Of
ground at any part OF the journey. and. better
yet. did not lose his head when Grapple chal-
Martin redeemed himself in part later on by
winning the fifth race with Davy Johnson's
Jacquin The horse is none too sound and his
plunglng owner. who had previously bet $4,000
on Grapple 10 win $1,000 allowed him 10 go 10
the post unbaclled at 6 10 l. There was noise
enough in the stand when he won however TO
indicate that some, al least, had profted by his
victory Martin broke him out IN front and
thereafter had 10 do little more than sit still TO
win as he pleased by length or so
Joaquin was entered 10 be sold for $500 and
when offered at auction after the race Bob
Tucker bid him up TO $3.50 and bought him at
that figure. the same price al which Mr.. John
con had offered TO sell him i'm the morning to W
7. Anderson, The owner of Fustian. Joaquin is
cheap al $500 If he trains on. but there is
chance thar he may break down any day. and
consequently was CT little or no value to a stable
which bets heavily.
Hot Shot. the haif-brother 10 Gunfre. con-
nrmed The good impression he made in his
FIRST race through the field few days ago by
gallopng or with the Glendale Steeplechase
over the full course of about TWO and a half
miles. Ray rode one Of his usual well judged
races, and the big chestnut with plenty
reserve. II begins to look If Thomas Hitch
cock jr, had coming champion in Hot Shot,
as his manner Of winning was impressive to
and VIII bear watching from now on. but Ker-
nel can do better. He may have been short,
and, further, none too Well handled by Nc
Inerny.
The well known colors, cardinal. white sash.
black cap, Of the Newcastle Stable. were seen
for the first time this season yesterday, and
we're carried TO victory twice. Tom Welch. who
trains for the stable. sent Paul Pry and Wave
Crest 10 the post in the first and last races, re-
spectyely, and Miller brought them both home
in front Paul Pry went back in the betting
from TO ] TO 10 10 !. he not particu-
larly well thought 81. but Wave Crest was
backed with confidence from S 10 . TO 8 TO 10
The latter is a good looking chestnut colt by
Star Shoot-Spindrift. and is likely 10 more
than pay his way this year. Paul Pry en-
tered TO he sold for 5000 in his race and when
Tom Welch was asked II there had been a bid
he answered 40 hut if there had been they
could have taken him. which indicated clearly
thar the ogden colt is not considered one of the
good ones Of the stable.
Fully ten thousand persons went down To see
the wind-up Of the spring meeting Of the Queens
County Jockey Club. II was wellnigh a perfect
day FOR outing. and II was fully appreciated
after the cold and blusteTy days that have gone
before. As three favoTites won, the players
scored about even break with the layers.
