WELL RIDDEN NADZU
WINS ALEXANDER
HANDICAP
Jockey TapIin Defeats Favorite
by Sticking TO "Pafh"
at EmeryViIIe
By J. z. Jefery

Despite the perplexing and decep-
tive track conditions that followed
the cessation OF the long continued
rain, yesterdays racing at Emeryville
was fairly formful Three winners at
llperat odos, two favorites and one
second choice accounted for the card.
The most surprising result attend
cd the decision OF the Alexander han
olcap, IN which Nadzu and Clamor
the outsiders, finished one two, with
the choices in the ruck. Eyebright
was the favorite. Don Enrique second
choice and Captain Kennedy third
cholee- The choices dominated the
early running, but each of the trio.
Mhen II successively looked as if one
or the other Of them would win
cracked in turn and the fit horses ran
over them in the stretch. Nadzu was
&Dle 10 win in consequence of Jockey
Iapnn's good judgment in sticking 10
lhe path that extended through the
center OF the stretch. Clamor, which
loomeo as the likely winner at the
paddock, labOred under the disadvan-
tage OF being in the worst going along
the rail- Jockey ScOville saved
world Of ground by hugging the rail
all the way, but the horse hung a bit
a. the end as a result Of the deep
iootlng through which he had worked
his way into forward contention.
GAINS NECK VICTORY
Jockey Scoville's superiority as a
rioer OF ? year olds, so frequently
demonstrated since the first of the
neck victory which Johnny Millin's
Quality Street scored in the juvenile
event M Dunphy, on which Jockey
gilbert put up a ride Of which a
novice should have been ashamed
would have won by himself with rid
ers reversed. Gilbert made a serious
HllslsAe IN taxing Mr. Dunphy into
lhe deepest gong along the rail after
entering the stretch on the outside
Mnere the going was good. To make
matters worse, Gilbert turned the
mol 7rsf va
and Mr.. Dunphy repeatedly stumbled
thereby losing more ground than the
margin oy which he was beaten Jack
Dennerien, a youngster from the Chinn
SLable, whose odds were hammered
down from 20 10 Is, despite the fact
that Il was HIS first start outIasted
the equally well played Woolton for
third place by a head. Jockey Wood
who was riding the Chinn colt, filed a
s. claim eL toui against the winner, but
the judges refused 10 allow it. The
boy protested that he would have won
the race but for interference In the
stretch, where he was crowded out
while trying TO get through along the
rail-
Figent and Ace of diamonds, both at
8 TO I. fought it out in the opener
Ace Of Diamonds had been close up to
Minots pace from the outset. but
Figent came from almost the last
place 70 turn what appeared TO be
hopeless defeat into brilliant vic
tory ia the very last strides She was
IN the best going on the outside, which
helped materially Darlington also
came from the clouds to be third.
Minot the hot tip of the race. curled
up as II short after encouraging his
hackers almost 10 the stretch. Traffic
was the favOrite, and lost all chance by
getting of poorly after acting very
badly al the post
JACOBITE BY LENGTH
In the third Jacobite and Tom Shaw
raced Ike q team in front TO the
stretch turn. where Jacobite carried
his rival so wide that Chris Miller
took Tom Shaw up and went to the
inside. which may have cost that horse
the race. Jacobite, in possession Of
the path. won by a length. Nav Ame-
lia, which had been Tapped on the two
leaders, continued to run on the out
side and It was only IN the closing
strides that Shaw regained second DO
siton. The others were beaten off
Miss Delaney found ii easy TO win
the fifth She was equal favorite with
Belmere and galloped several lengths
IN front all the way. Belmere was as
easily second. but the well PLAYED
Prince Nap had all he could do to beat
colonel Bronston for the show.
Rosamo ran very smart race in
taking the final event. Collector Jes-
sup was a receding odds on favorite
and Rosamo was the second choice
Jessup was of in front and held the
lead until well into the stretch where
ROsamO picked him up and went on
10 an easy victory by himself Ell
PicarO had no serious opposition for
third money IN consequence Of Little
Siss' failure TO get away from the post
10 advantage.
