HORSE RUNS WILD
BUCKS OFF TWO BOYS.
Hoffman Beats Fast Sprinters
at FGncg Price.

Anna L. Daley furnished enough excite
ment on the way TO the post in the second
race at Aqueduct yesterday to keep the
crowd stirred up for half an hour. She
literally ran wild all over the place. un-
seating two boys, jumping fences and other
wise disporting herself.
After paradng by the stand quietly
enough, she bolted into the rail on the way
10 the barrier and sent King flying over her
head. The boy went crashing into one of
the starters stands and fell In a heap on
the ground. 1t looked for a time as if he
was dangerously injured but he revived
after being carried off in the Ambulance.
and, according to the doctor escaped with
wrenched back and bad shaking up
The flly dashed off at top speed after
throwing King, and ran up the chute at the
head of the stretch, where she was cornerei
and caught. A stable boy mounted her 10
take her back TO the starting post. but once
more she took the bit in her teeth and
vent careering down the back stretch. The
little boy sat tight until she went crashing
through the outside rail, when, like King
he did grand and lofty tumbling act, from
which he escaped with a few bruises. The
hlly then ran wild back of the stables and
the stewards ordered the race started with
out her.
>Blackford. the quoted favorte. acted like
a crazy horse at the post, but settled down
TO racing once the barrier was released, and
won easily after indulging Quantico with
the lead for six furlongs. The latter proved
second best at the weights. even with Fain
up. Turncoat bolted at the start an old
trick of his. and was left.
Hoffman, the despised outsider. at SO to /,
caused a mild sensation in the opening
handicap az six and a half furlongs by de-
feating such good sprinters as Rose Queen,
Besom and Angelus. The three -year-old
half brother to the great Irish Lad ran II
close company with the speedy Rose Queen
from the start, and outgamed her in the
closing strides. Just at the end Besom
weakly handled by Butwell. was running
on and was Tapped on the winner a head
before Rose Queen.

year-old but failed 10 take advantage of

hut they won outrun him." Two or three
other persons were found who had taken a
flyer on the long shot, but the majority of
those present looked on in blank dismay.
Hoffman showed a lot of speed in a race
at Yonkers last July with good horses, but
that had been forgotten.
Setback was whispered about a good
thing i'll the third race, but he ran like
the cheapest kind of a selling platter. St.
Dunstan. which finished second to Pretend
in a race at Jamaica, did little better un-
der a Istless ride by Creevy. This left the
outsiders to fight it out, and Anayri, max
ing all the pace, won ridden out from Helen
Carroll and Harvey F. in slow time.
