by Ten Point, and the Green Spring
Valley steeplechase, at two miles. was
captured by George Emo in record time
yesterday.
The victory of the Jack Point colt was
not expected by the majority of the spec
tators and many figured that If he got
in the money the Aste youngster would
be doing we'll.
The time has been long since the pa
irons Of the old hilltop tracks saw sucn
a beautiful steeplechase as yesterday,
when George Emo covered the measured
two-mile route in 355. The former record
was a second or two slower. and was
supposed to be held by old Thstledale.

in training in the country faced the bar

Leochares, the Schorr colt; August Bel

spectators.

The wise money was put on Leochares,
for the bettors figured that Schorr's colt
was always running strong at the finish
of previous six-furlong races. There was
hot a
he hard one to beat. and he carried
considerable money.
Ten Point had shown by his previous
performances that he was fast breaker
and possessed the early speed to carry
him to the front. When the break came
Jockey McTaggart shot him to the front
rounding the first turn. and thereafter he
was always in the lead. being rated along
lust enough to keep there by length the
entire distance.
Leochares was carried wide rounding
the first time, and he had to be taken
pretty fast to keep within striking dls-

Eno's Victory Popular.
George Eno's victory was the most
non,,,ar ever recorded at Pimlico. The
first time rounding the infield the specta-
tore began TO warm UP to the colt, and
+bev realized that if he could keep up
the dizzy race and negotiate the OBJ
stacles safely there would be new track
record.
George Emo set all the pace. with
O'Bear, who was supposed to have a
chance. his nearest competitor. In this
way they ran the entire distance. Round

the leader. but this could not be done.

day. The opening race was won by
