New York. July 2S-Whether this or
that horse could run in the sloppy mud or
not at Empire City this afternoon. Gre
ated a perplexing situation for a majority
OF the regulars who made the trip under
the disagreeable weather conditions
Muddy going in many cases transformed
a bad horse into a good one. and be-
tween races the talent did little but hunt
up the record OF the different racers in
this respect.
There was an amusing situation as a
result before the running OF the handi-
cap at a mile and a sixteenth There
were only three starters, and If the going
had been dry Stanley Fay would have
been regarded as a sure thing.
Stanley Fay never could run in this
kind Of going in California last winter,
and he'll be beaten sure" said many wise
men This information spread rapidly.
until Stanley Fay went up in the betting
from l TO ?. to Z 10 10. Meanwhile there
was a rush to back Zienap but after
many wagers had been made. the tip
came from the paddock that she never
was a mud lark. and that Pins and
Needles would come home on the bit
This caused q stampede among the wise
men 10 back Pins and Needles. Stanley
Fay's owner said: "As there isn't mud
runner In this race. my horse will breeze
home"
Stanley Fay the Winner.
That started a final play on Stanley
Fay, who rushed 10 the front when the
barrier went up. Stanley Fay was never
headed and won by three parts OF a
length.
IL G. Bedwell won three races, each
with noted mudlark. His remarkable
success began when Nadzu, 9 to 3. cap
tured the second race.
Bedwell came right back with Tony
Faust, a 10 10 \ shot. in the third Per
sOnal cut out the pace TIL the stretch
when Taplin let Faust down for great
rush. which enabled him TO win IN a
drive by three parts of a length. Per-
sonal had a length and a half over Or
phan Lad. quoted at 100 70 l.
Bedwell's third triumph was with Joe
Rose, 20 8. Taplin had the mount and
the colt started In the sixth race He
rushed away from the post like a rocket
and came home on the bit two lengths
before Lord Stanhope.
