MILLER SURE OF RACE.
1T No Time Had Doubt Of Leading
the Others Home.

Miller the Jockey who rode Colin to victory,
said after the race that he confident OF win
ming. even when in close quarters in the first
sixteenth as the colt running with plenty
in reserve and was hardly fully extended until
Strengthened out for home, when he quickly dis
posed OF the pacemakers. He was naturally
elated at winning. but like James R. Eeene the
owner Of the horse, and Jimmy Rowe, his train
er, accepted his honors in rather cool and
phIegmatic way. He has ridden the horse in
all his races. and has grown to love him.
John Wy Rogers deprecated the severe punish
rnent Of Harry Payne Whitney's colt, Bar None.
which he trains, and was not in mood to thank
Jack Martin for finishing second. He said that
he would rather lose a race than to see his horse
punished so severely.
James r. Feene would not talk about his fut-
ure plans for Colin, but II is safe to say that II
the colt cools out well he will fill some OF his
other engagements. Mr.. Keene is true sports
man, and believes i'll running his horses when
they are 1it and if Colin trains on, as it is very
easy to believe he will, there are other triumphs
in store for him. The ugly growth on his hook
which disfgured him in his early career has
yielded TO treatment and almost entirely dis
appeared; otherwise he has not mark or
blemish upon him. and his legs appear clean
and strong enough to support his big frame for
many other races.
If Colin does not come to untimeiy end, as
did Domino Commando and Sysonby he will
probably stand at the head Of James r Keene's
stud when his racing days are over, as in many
ways he is better type OF a thoroughbred than
Peter Pan, another son Of Commando, and the
champion three-year-old of the season.
When James p. Keene was talking to some
friends in the paddock after the race he re
marked that 1 TO 3 was a good price against
the colt and said that in any other country
than this he would have been held at to 10
in the betting.
Ed Corrigan was in the paddock yesterday for
the first time on Futurity Day since 1891, when
his good colt Huron ran second TO His Highness.
but was not recognized by the stewards and was
unplaced in the race.
Harry Payne Whitney's Lyttleton Maid bucked
Garner off on the way to the post IN the first
race and cantered over 10 the starting point
riderless. The patrol judge took Garner over to
the place where she was caught, where he re-
mounted. He brought her back to the judges
stand and rode her back to the post TO meet the
requirements of the rule which requires that a
horse carry full weight to the post. The run
away hardly affected her chances, and she ran
a good third in the race.
Jimmy Rowe has now trained three Futurity
winners. equalling the record held by John Hy-
lanO. Rowe mas Sduulcu Il +AlOucttt HAilIh ''iA
in 1897; Chacornac, the winner in 1899, and
Colin. fIyland trained His Highness, The But
terfiies and RequitaI. which won for Gideon and
DAILY in 1891, 1894 and 1895. respectively.
James R Keene had few anxious moments
when Colin was in tight quarters in the early
part Of the race. Turning 70 friend he said in
his cool way, when the race was about half over:
I'm afraid the colt is beaten: they have got
him in a bad place" When he looked again nc
said nothing, but the faint suspicion of smile
appeared on his face, for Colin had overcome
all opposition and was coming away to win.
