With Whisk Broom on the shelf. slated
for retirement to Harry Payne Whit
news Brookdale Farm TO do stud duty,
no contest that could be framed would
attract greater interest or draw better
crowd. Rock View. winner OF the With
ers Stakes, the Lawrence Realization ana
a couple OF other races, came 10 Sara
toga with the reputation OF being the
best three-year- old in the country. He
has won the Travers since his arrival
here. and his defeat in the Saranac Is
not counted against him. He was shut
off just after the start and Glass mad
to pull up to keep the horse on his feet
Cock o. the Walk, a good little horse
at Belmont Park. has won every race
in which he has started here. First he
got down in front in the Saratoga Handi-
cap. then he won the Champlain, and

nents were Roamer, Gamer, Punch BOWL
Black Broom. Spearhead and FAtter'
gold That Little Nephew ran GOOD
race cannot be denied. He took the
track from Roamer in the first furlons
and successfully withstood the deter
mined challenges of Mr.. Sniggs, BLACK
Broom and Spearhead.
But Gamer was the best horse. he
msbehaved at the barrier and was LETT
cold The wis-st thing his jockey could
have done under the circumstances would
have been 10 pull UP. but Brel went on.
and. whipping the chestnut coli ssvageiy'

conservatism. Gamer was al least twenty
