TWO MORE FOR SHILLING.
Rides Zienap and Arctic to
Victory at Y0nkers.
AMALFI WINS A STAKE
Poor Showing of Jupiter Joe
Leads Stewards to Ask Some
Questions.

After Shilling had failed to ride a winner
In four races at the Empire City track. near
Yonkers, yesterday. his followers began to
wonder II he had lost his cunning. but the
clever jockey kept up his percentage by
riding Zienap and Arctic to victory in the
fifth and sixth races respectively His per-
sistency and strong finish alone were re
sponSfble for the success of Zienap, as nine
out cf ten boys would have become discour-
aged at the far turn when in tight quar-
ters and a full ten lengths behind the
leaders
The mare ran what was a truly remark
able race, she was pinched off and
crowded back in the rush to the first turn
and SO tightly pocketed that Shilling could
not make a move. The boy tried to take
her through on the rail approaching the
far turn, but again shut off and forced
to pull UP sharply, when, a last resort.
he took her to the outside.
1t looked like a hopeless stern chase but
once Shilling found clear sailing he sat
down in dead earnest and the mare, re-
spending to his every call, raced around her
field and challenged the leaders half way
down the stretch. Even then II looked as
II the task was too much. but Shilling
swung in behind the leaders, which were
running wide, and drove. Zienap through on
the rail to win going away by a length,

Lucky Jack McCiinnis saw his coIors

mile and twenty yards. by Shannon, after
a long stern chase with Apache The
Ogden three-year-old had everything in
his favor, which accounted largely for an
improvement in form which on first glance
seemed hard to explain. Sager. winner Of
the Canadian Derby. was badly interfered
with and knocked out of his stride round
ing the first turn Jupiter Joe suked, ac-
cording to his owner, while Prince Gal,
which established the track record of
Ia 1-5 for the distance, on his last ap-
pearance, suffered from enough interfer-
ence in the early part Of the struggle to
injure his chances materially. With these
excuses for what looked like the chief con-
tenders, and with Apache bearing the
brunt Of the pacemaking, Shannon, which
McCahey rated along in a good position.
had an advantage which counted largely in
his success.
Jupiter Joe, which was beaten q head in
track record time last Friday dropped out
OF the race SO suddenly approaching the
far turn that the stewards called on
Walsh. who had the mount. for an ex-
PLANTATION, and later sent for his owner,
W. G. Yanke. TO hear what he had to say
in extenuation-
Walsh said the horse sulked after meet
ing with some slight interference and Mr..
Yanke supplemented this by explaining
that the Handsel gelding suffering
from a sore mouth and would not take
hold OF the bit; furthermore. that he was
disposed to sulk when crowded or inter
fered with. Mr.. Yanke added that he had
been using q snake bit to aid the horse
and was disappointed at a performance
that was SO far below his form. Under
the circumstances no action was taken by
the stewards.
W. T. Ryan's Efendi made his first ap-
pearance OF the season in this race. and
showed keen speed for six furionss. The
son Of Previous-Hatasoo is one Of the
best looking and handsomest horses in
training. and should give q good account
Of himself at Saratoga Springs.
