Race-Spectacular Tumble, But Result
Not Serious.
TUESDAY.
The races of Tuesday afternoon fur
nished excellent sport and the winners
had to travel very fast for their re-
spective classes.
In the first heat of the 2S4 pace-2.3O trot
with field of five Black Preceps won
with Billy Baggs at her wheel Sir AL
cander came fast in the stretch and was
only a length back in third place, with
Maud f. fourth. Florodora, who started
out as pacemaker, went up in the air on
the upper turn in the first half and was
far in the rear but recovered her stride
in time to save her distance. In the sec
ond heat Maud F.. struck the sulky of
Billy Baggs on the last turn. Maud F.'s
Hulky tipped over and Fred Bushey, the
driver who was thrown escaped with a
lame ankle. Black Preceps won again.
Alexander came strongly again at he
finish and landed in second place. The
third heat was the best race of the af-
ternoon. Black Preceps led to the last
turn where Sir Alexander came so fast as
to force the black gelding into a run just
before reaching the wire. Black Preceeps
recovered in time to save himself, but
only by inches.
The PIG stake pace was a race all the
Common Voter showed a fine burst of
speed on the back stretch in the second
turn. He broke at the head of the home
stretch, however, and resigned the lead
ership to Our King, who came to the wire
as trim as a yacht in a steady breeze
with Common Voter a length back and
the others well up. My Favorite per-
formed a bear dance in the first quarter
and saw the flag fall. In the second heat
Common Voter was never headed. but
Our King was a good second. The third
heat brought the spectators to their feet
cheering, 1t looked to many like dead
heat between Common Voter and Our
King. but the judges decided in favor of
the latter. In the fourth heat Common
Voter and Our King went hub to hub
part OF the way At the upper turn. when
Common Voter was in the lead, the driver
dropped his whip, and the horse, lacking
the sting, slowed up enough to allow Our
King to nose out a victory.
May Jingles stepped prettily all the way
in the first heat of the 2.35 trot and was
not pushed at the finish Electric beat
out Joe Dillon for second place in the
stretch and the others were struggling.
In the second heat Electric led to the
three-quarter pole, but then went up in
the air and was passed by May Jingles
and Princess, the latter making a good
bid at the wire and surprising many, as
in the previous heat Princess was erratic
and brought up the rear. In the third
heat May Jingles was never headed, but
Princess again showed good form and
pushed the bay mare hard.
