Z4HBESI WINS STAKE.
Little Woods .ScrambIeS Home an
Front at Fancy Price.

James r. Keene added another stake to his
credit at Gravesend yesterday. when Zambesi
won the twenty-first running of the Brookda!e
Handicap. at one mile and furong. The son
Of Commando raced Fountainblue into subns-
sion at the end of seven furlongs and came away
20 win easily from August Bemonts Blandy
Zambesi is not eligible for the Suburban Han
dicap tomorrow. but as he is not considered as
good as his stable companions. Superman and
Veil, the stable viii have no regrets Fountain
blue which was making his first appearance of
the season. was getting a public trial for the
big race. and while he acquitted himself fairly
well under the circumstances, his chances will
NOT be considered seriously by the rank and file
of racegOers. The race may do him lot Of
good, however. and in all probability he will 60
TO the post.
Go Between which won the Brookdale Handi-
cap last year and the year before. was among
the starters yesterday. He again failed to show
even a semblance of that form which made II
possible for him TO win the Suburban last
year. He was running on in the stretch after
being hopelessly outpaced in the early part. hut
It was more. perhaps. because the others were
firing and he was far behind the winner
Blandy ran To his best form in final preparation
for the Suburban. but like Fountainhlue. his
chances do not look particularly bright
While Zambesi's victory was the feature of the
DAVIS racing il did not cause half the talk that
little Woods occasioned when he the fifth

are SO used 10 seeing him trailing along in the
ruck that they could hardly believe their eyes
when tsey saw him closing with rush on The
rail turning for home. Even then il did not
seem possible that he could come on ana WIN,

well by the victory. as Eugene Wood. an Albany
politician bet 500 across the board on the morse
for the simple reason that Big Tim sullivan
said jokingly that he didn't nave nerve enough
to do it. ,,.
Harry Pavne Whitney's Dinna Ken. which has

Dinna Ken was beaten. but he responded 10
Koerner's call. and. coming away again won

Faust was lucky to win and lucker still not

the best horse at the weights, and finished see

He pinned his ears back and appeared to suk
