YESTERDAYS WINNERS
By j. K. Jeffery


time out would have to be overlooked
If one was desirous of backing them
with the hope of winning bet cut
wide swath in the results at the Emery
vile track yesterday. Philistina, Joe
Coyne, sMarster and Cloudlight, all Of.
which were able TO win yesterday, had
figured among the also rams in their
previous starts. In each instance there
had been a change of jockeys. In Phil
istina's case it was from Charbonneau
to Heatherton, who was In excellent
form yesterday and the only boy to
ride two winners during the day; Joe
Coynes Improvement may have been
due to the switch from Hayes to Mil
Ter; Cricket Kelly was UP on Marster
instead of Sandy and Mentry had sup
planted Buxton as pilot for Cloudiight-
AS the racegoing public is not gifted
with second sight the sudden improve
ment which these horses showed helped
the bookies greatly, except possibly in
the case of Marster. IN which instance
at least portion of the public reaped
the benefit of following the stable sup
port which was Iavished upon the horse
AS a result he went to the post favorite
in the Sebree handicap, mile and an
eighth dash, that furnished the most
pretentious event of the card Marster
was the solitary favorite that succeeded
in getting TO the wire first during the
afternoon
ADENA DOES NOT BREAK
The talent started off badly by play
ing Adena into pronounced favoTitism
in the opener. Jockey Mentry sue
ceeded in getting Adena as good as
left at the post, and although she ran
a winning race from where she got
off, she was unplaeed at the wire after
making up a world of ground. Boggs,
which won easily enough, might have
been able to win anyway, but Adena's
hackers would at least have felt better
had she received an equal break. CTea-
ton. which Adena had supplanted in
favoritisrn. just did squeeze in second,
a neck in advance OF Hidden Hand, with
which Jockey Borel had failed to get
away to advantage
The outcome of the . year old race
was particularly unsatisfactory, mas
much as neither of the first three choices
finished in the money. Bold, the luke
warm favorite, got off poorly with
Jockey Borel up. and then made mat
ters worse by trying to run out at the
turn. information, the second choice. had
none of the brand of speed that had
enabled to make a show of the field
with which he had run the previous
time out. Alice Collins. the third choice.
had no excuse for her failure TO run
up to expectations. PhiIstina, Arma-
field to the wire in the order named.
were in forward contention from the
start.
Remember might have won the third
If Jockey Harris had exercised as much
patience as Walter Miller did on Joe
Coyne. Harris made his move prema-
turely, while Miller waited until well
into the stretch and then easily rushed
his mount by Remember, with which
Harris had run into what looked like
winning lead at the last turn. Rubinon.
which finished third, had little trouble
beating the balance.
Marster's success in the hanlicap was
largely due TO the intelligence and skill
with which Cricket Kelly rode him.
Kelly was content to keep within strik-
ing distance of the pacemakers to the
lead and went on to a clever victory
The consistent Cabin worked his way
from behind and easily took the place
from Cadichon, which had made the
pace with Lisaro in close attendance.
The latter was momentarily in the lead
in the stretch, but found the route too
far and, stopping to & walk in the final
sixteenth. finished out of the money.
Fantastic. well played at long odds,
failed to show anything calculated to
encourage her hackers at any stage of
the running.
ANOTHER FOR HEATHERTON
yinton's victory in the fifth was clear
