E F. Cooney's Punch Bowl raced his
,av back into the good graces Of the
rail birds and critics at Belmont Park
yesterday. when he took up 1ls pounds
and won the Great Trial Stakes, at six
furlongs. transferred from Sheepshead
psy bv courtesy Of the Coney Island
Jockey Club. In his last start he ran
far below expectations. but this was due
nartly 10 IN luck at the start, and his
followers did not lose confidence. In fact
he was a pronounced favorite Yesterday
among the handicappers and ran pretty
close TO the form which has made him
rank among the best two-year-olds of
the season.
His margin Of victory was only a head
and while he won the lions share OF the
nurse. worth A525. he had to share the
bonors with Raj PARIS Mater. the speedy
and consistent, II rather small. flly by
Fstherless-Niola.
Golden Chimes made the early running
and swung into the stretch two lengths
in front, but Mater slipped through on
the rail- while Punch Bowl raced up on
the outside and quickly took command for
long head-and- head drive to the wire.
The four pounds overweight which Mater
carried so as 10 have the advantage Of
Batvells riding just about cost her the
race although she may have profted
more than that by the clever handling.

handicap at one mile and sixteenth
The elation Of the youngster was infec-
tous. but it was as nothing TO the de-
light OF his brother. Tommy McTaggart,
who could hardly control his feelings in
the paddock as he proudly introduced the
boy 10 most everybody he knew as
Here's a great little rider"
II may he said in all fairness that
little Johnny rode a wellnigh perfect race
and did not lose his head when Prince
Eugene. winner Of the Belmont Stakes
moved up inside the last furlong pole
and showed in front for few strides.
The boy just sat down and rode a strong
hand finish and the Red Rock mare came
again and clearly outgamed the Ham
burg colt. from which she was getting
tuentj-seven pounds, according to the
scale.
Nightstick. which made such sizzling
pace for his stable companion, Whisk

SATURDAY,. scared every horse out OF the
second race at one mile. except Ballyclih.
The two raced head and head for about
six furlongs, and then Nightstick drew
