TAPL|N BUSY At TRACK
Rides Three Winners in the
Most Approved Style.
STAKE GOES TO PECCAVi
Horizon Breaks Into Well and
Has Narrow Escape from
Injury in Paddock.

Taplin, the jockey, is riding In good
form at Aqueduct, and lie will be missed
when his employer, r. J. Mackenzie. ships
his horses to Canaaa. The hoy rode three
winners yesterday in four mounts1iGold-
en-, Keep Moving and Peceayi-snd in
each case showed excellent judgment.
Last year he was a bit slow ct the barrier.
but be seems to have overcome this fault,
and has acquired the knack of getting his
mounts off i'm their stride. which counts
so largely in short dashes. Taplin first
jumped into prominence when he came
East with the H G. Bedwell stable for
the Yonkers meeting last summer lie
rode many winners. but his work lacked
the finish which now characterizes 1t,
after riding all winter in California.
r. J Mackenzie, the Canadian horse
man. won the Rose Stakes with Peccavi, a
filly by the speedy but erratic Blues. She
worked her way to the finish in the first
furlong and so escaped the interference
which handicapped her in the running of
the Ozone Stakes or Monday r. +. Car
mans Horizon. the quoted favorite, which
won so easily last Saturday. was the best
looking Ally in the race. but lost ground
by being cut off shortly after the start
She responded gamely to punishment, but
could not finish better than second. 1t is
just possible that her antics in the pad
dock and at the barrier operated against
her. as she wasted deal Of energy. Maid,
a small weedy looking filly. had enough
speed TO run int third place.
Some of the railbiTds liked the James r
keene pair-Dreaming and Susan-but
neither was prominent at the finish The
former is well turned flly of good size,
but seems to lack the speed of her full
sister. Trance, which won the same fixture
and many other races ds a two-year-old
in 1898
Horizon had narrow escape from seri-
Gus injury while plunging about in the
paddock. One of her hind feet broke
through the ground next TO the Old pump,
but she pulled IT loose without swapping
bone, Ia the relief Of her ewner. who
thinks highly Of the daughter of Hastings.
Mr.. Carman was disappointed at her fail
ure 10 win, as he was supremacy confident
before the race.
The critics were divided after the first
race as To whether Ladasette or Golden
was the better horse The latter won by
short head, Taplin clearly outriding
Garner in a sit still" finish, neither hoy
drawing his whip. In the opinion q sew
eTal good judges. Ladasette would have
won with the jockeys reversed OF if Garner
had reSorted to more vigorous methods
instead of depending on a hand ride As
a matter OF fact, the filly had a lot to do
to reach a contendng position, being
pinched off at the start and forced 10 go
TO the outside. She ran up strongly at
the last furlong pole but Garner was
hit confident. perhaps. and failed 10 lend
her the necessary help
Golden. a son Of Goldcrest-Token is a
fair looking gelding, which should prove
useful in selling races, because eff the
fact that he appears 10 be honest and
coura geous. r. T Wilson, rs, Cherish
showed seRe improvement over his first
start bit the son of Plaudit-Blssful is not
likely to amount to much.
Willie Martin. the enetin1e clever Jockey
who rode in this country and England
several years ago. saddled Banyah for
the fifth race. and so made his debut as
a trainer The son Of Bann0ckburn raced
over the jumps in France last year, but
broke dewn and was shipped back to this
country He had speed yesterday, but
stopped as If short.
r. T Wilson. jr's. Falcada. which ran
King James 20 a head In the Annual cham
pion Stakes Of 1908. won this race. He
was in retirement last year, but is now
training soundly.
The track was ouppy and slow from the
recent drenching, and a cold east wind
blew into the grandstand. but the sun was
out and that made the crowd more
cheerful
