POLLS THITS, THEN
WINS NEW YEAR
FEATURE
Wind and Weather Upset
Dope Bucket; Jack Atkin
is Overburdened.

u was a cold, blue, happy New
Ys6r's day for the handicap horses at
tie Juarez track Sunday when they
went to the post for. the Ano Nuevo
handicap. Seven thor0ughbreds braved
the cold for a bid at the $4,000 stake
which was offered for the winners in
this New Year feature. They were all
good. 1t was a case of shut your eyes
and take your choice, with cold weather
conditions upsetting the dope bucket
and making it anybody's race. Poor
old Jack Atkin was loaded down with
lead, he being given 12S pounds to
carry, enough for truck morse to
tote
Polls played the old, old, waiting
game and triumphed in the end over
the other stake horses, who were run
ming in front UP to the last eighth.
KeOgh, no bigger than a minute let
his horse have the CAD at the final
stretch and shot in ahead Of Fo1lie
Levy and Harrigan, both of whom
were running for a victory at the close.
Meadow was outrun and got nothing
better than fourth in the field, with
Follie Levy fighting for her place and
Harrigan coming on to challenge her
for the position.
Royal Tea Takes First.
Royal Tea was the beverage in the
first race. This was especially appro-
pirate considering the weather and
Royal Tea was right royal in his run
ming. He cut across the field and
scored home like runaway cab horse
at a workhorse parade. John Robert
was second by suffrance and Closer
was no closer than third.
Cotytto ran away from the rest in
the second race, getting the lead and
keeping it successfully all the way
against all corners. Laveno worked
hard for the second place position and
,outgamed Personality for this second
honor Others ran.
Waldorf Belle proved to be as
sporty as her name in the third race.
another mile race like the handicap.
Waldorf came near waiting too long,
for the others were running away from
her when she made her move. But she
was game and came on to wear out
the others in a finish that just was
good. Col Bronston looked mighty
good in the stretch turn but quit
Manila was that far away at the finish.
Refused to Lose Out.
Thurbet was beaten in the fifth race
but would not stay beaten. Back in
fifth place at the half he came on and
beat out Gene Wood and other cam
paigners at the finish by nostril and
better Joe Woods and Gene Wood
but the Wood brothers could not get
near enough to win.
Another mile race finished the holt
day races This was Little March
mont's race from the far turn in
driving stretch finish which took all
the little one had to give Misprison
was sentenced to second place in this
race after he had run a good, game
race, but could not beat the winner
You Win did not win, at least nothing
better than third.
