starters in the race also found plenty |
of support and from a layers stand |
point before the racing it was the bes: |
race Of the day and also proved to be |
so in the running of the race. Some |
delay was occasioned at the post by
the antics OF the field and as quick as
Starter Tribe would get Our Nugget
Strengthened out Gerando would break
UP the start. The field was finally
gotten away to a good start with
Gerando breaking in front. His ad-
vantage, however, was short-lived, and
| Autumn Rose assuming the lead,
| forced fast pace all the way, racing
Gerando into defeat, drew away in the
| closing strides to win we'll in hand.
Caesar was the closest in pursuit all
| the way, and at the turn for home
looked menacing, but he soon died
away and Yankee Pooh, well handled
| by little Cole. made determined rush
at the leader and landed the second
place a half a length in front of
Caeser. Our Nugget ran disappointing
! ly in the race and at no stage of the
race could she raise a respectable gal
lop, finishing in the last place.
Countermand Takes the First.
Countermand, whose price went
from eight to five to three to one with
no takers, took the first race by five
! lengths from the favorite, Canopian
! Canopian was thought by the form
players to have the race at his mercy
| and when even money was posted
against his chances the talent made al
rush and he was heavily played until
at post time three to five was consid-
cred good price against his chances.
Harting was also given some support,
but his race was too bad to be true,
as at no stage of the race could he
even gallop fast enought keep up
with the bunch. Irrigator, the longest
price horse in the race, gave the talent
a shock after the start by going to
the front and forcing a fast pace. At
the last turn Countermand, who was
the closest in pursuit, moved up,
racing him into defeat, drew away in
the closing strides to win as his rider
pleased. Canopian could never i'm
prove his position until the turn for
home and then he moved up fast and
took the place from the pacemaker
Irrigator, by four lengths. Harting
Ilabored all the way and ran much be-
low his best form.
Advise Wins in a GaIIop.
Advise, with four to one against his
chances, made a show of his field in
the second race by romping home an
easy winner. Col Austin and King
thorpe were always the choice in the
speculation and they were played to
the exclusion of everything else in the
race. At post time Col. Austin was
the short priced horse in the race.
Expect to See was the first to get
away and forced the pace to the turn
for home but found the distance little
= too far for him. Advise who was a
forward contender all the way, moved
up with a rush, racing Expect to See
into defeat, drew away in the closing
strides to win by two lengths. Elk
pect to See managed to hold on long
elough to save the place from Col
Austin, the favorite, who was coming
With a rattle at the end, after meeting
With considerable interference in the
race, finishing third half a length
back Of the second horse.
! kiamesha Wins Easily.
Kiamesha, the favorite for the third
race, had no trouble in defeating the
field opposed to her. Always the
choice in the speculation, she went to
the front shortly after the start, MAX
i ing every post a winning one and
going under the wire winner by
three lengths. Daisy B. and Scotch
Lass were the next favored in the
!
race right, as they finished second and
third. Michael Beck was we'll support
ed for the short end of the purse but
! the speed in the race was too much
for him and he could never improve
his position, finishing in the fourth
place
| Autumn Rose Defeats Yankee Pooh.
The feature race Of the day came
! with the running of the fourth race in
which the best sprinters at the track
measured strides for the purse offered
by the jockey club Autumn Rose
was the pronounced choice in the
race, andw lille she opened up a short
| price, plunge was made on the
! chances Of Our Nugget and her price
rapidly receded to even money from
her opening price of eight to five,
which caused the favorite to go up to
even money at post time. When it
came to the running of the race there
was nothing to it but Autumn Rose.
She went to the front at the start and
made every post a winning one. going
under the wire winner by nearly two
| lengths.
John Garner the Favorite, Wins.
| John Garner, always the choice of
! the spectators in the last race of the
