HiIdrefh Pair Heads
Winning List


Horses that have been racing at
Emeryville during the winter figure
prominently in the list of principal
purse winners of the American turf so
far during 1908. No less than 10
horses that raced here the past season
have place in the roll OF 80 leaders
just compiled by Racing Form, with
Meelick and Montgomery at the top.
Meelick may have sadly disappoint-
ed many warm admirers when he failed
to win the City Park derby. but this
swift son of Planudes still holds the
credit of having won more money than
any other thoroughbred thus far this
year. Next to him in the winning list
comes his sturdy stable mate, Mont
gomery. good horse anywhere and
in any company. BY virtue of his
success in the Carter handicap Jack
Atkin is third. The only other horses
that have won $4,000 or more are
the former stable comrades of Cha
pultepec and Angelus. Presently,
when the Belmont Park, Gravesend
and Sheepshead Bay meetings with
their rich stakes are disposed of, this
list will swell rapidly and many of
the horses now figuring in 1t will be
supplanted by better racers At pres
ent the so leaders are as follows:

Aqueduct
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

AQUEDUCT. April 2S.-Top Note. a
chestnut filly 2 years old, by Hamburg
Sister Mary, won the last race of the
spring meeting at the Aqueduct track
yesterday. If the great speed she
showed is a true indication of the quail
ity of her stable mates. then Harry
Payne Whitney owns the best stable
of youngsters in America, for she is
said to be one of the slowest of his
string OF race horses.
Top Note won easily by six lengths.
She had plenty of speed and led prac-
tically from start TO finish During
the early betting she was well backed,
but as she has a short, choppy stride,
many of, the clockers thought she was
lame in = her preliminary gallop. and
for that reason refused to back her.
There was no trouble with her legs.
and her rapid fire action carried her
along SO fast that the race soon de-
veloped into a case of sprightly hare
and weary hounds. Just before the
Flushing stake race was called. George
Odom purchased from Burlew & O'Neill
the brown gelding Juggler. 1t proved
TO be profitable investment. Juggler
won the stake, worth s1,2S0 net, for
his new owner.
