Drilling rain and ordinary racing
made a poor combination at the En-
pire City track yesterday. Not even
one close finish cropped up to rouse
the dropping spirits of the crowd. II
was almost dreary.
The Tarrytown Stakes, under selling
conditions, appeared as the feature OF
an ordinary card. but only five horses
went TO the post, and Pomette Bleu,
running in the colors Of the Montpelier
Stable, won so easily as TO rob the
race of even thrill.
Tom Healey was in some doubt as 70
what boy to ride, as the Ben Brush
mare required careful handling, until
Wooden Shoes was scratched, and then
his difficulties were solved. as il left
McCahey free to accept the mount
The boy rode a perfect race. too. By
hard riding he held his position on the
rail at The first turn and forced Sumter
to take Undaunted around on the out
side TO get to the front. Then, taking
a light hold of his mounts head, he
rated her just Off the pace until ready
to let her down at the head OF the
stretch. Then it was all over, as Po-
mette Bleu came away to win as she
pleased.
McCahey's riding was largely respon-
sible also for Heartbeat's victory in tns
last race. He made no mistakes, while
Sumter, on J. L. Paul's Camellia, did
about everything ne ought not to have
done and proved distinct handicap
instead of help to his mount.
After losing valuable ground by 60
ing unnecessarily wide at the first turn
he tried to drive his mount through a
narrow opening on the rail approach
ing the far turn. only to be disappoint-
ed. He then pulled to the outside once
more, to be carried wide rounding into
the stretch. Little wonder the mare
could not finish better than second.
Adelaide I. ran a dull, disappointing
race in the second event. On her Sec
ond to Punch Bowl and later her Sec
| ond to Gamer at Aqueduct she seemed
| tc stand out in the rather cheap field
! she met yesterday, but after breaking
/ slowly and showing a little flash of
| speed in the run up the backstretch
| she was smothered in the stretch.
Joe Rosenfeld, which had his troubles
getting out Of the maiden class, looked
| like the best Splinter in the world as
/ he galloped along in front with his OPP
/ ponents fairly reeling and dizzy behind
him. He ran the six furlongs in
1:l2:15 and won easing up, too.
| Donald Macdonald, who is so aged
racegoers have about forgotten him rs
a two-year-old, ran one of his good
races in the third event at one mile and
a sixteenth. Instead of trailing far be-
/ hind his field as is his wont in the early
/ part he had foot enough to be right up
with the pace from the minute the bar
rier flashed up. In the stretch he drew
away from Hedge to win with Butwell
/ looking around.
Aqueduct, was a different horse yester-
/ day and never fattered his followers.
! James Butler won another race when
Trust Ne, the well bred daughter Of
/ Ballot-True Love, was graduated In
/ the dash for wo-yearolds at five and a
half furlongs. Signs of iodine on her
legs gave indication of some unsound
ness, but she was quite good enough TO
! beat the ordinary lot which went TO the
post.
Johnny McTaggert, who is serving
out a suspension for rough riding, left
/ for Saratoga Springs last night, where
/ he will get in condition for the meeting
in August by galloping horses for John
E. Madden. The boys suspension ends
on July 81.
Ten Point worked a mile handily
enough in al 40 before the first race.
He is being pointed for the Empire City
! Handicap on Saturday, in which he Is
entered under 120 pounds. He never
! looked better and moved mighty
smoothly. The fractional times were
0:12. O:24 20, 0;36 3-5, 0:4S 1-5, 1:02,
Ills 1-5, 1928 l-5 and l:4l4-5, He had
boy up who weighed all of 1870
! pounds. %
Woods Garth has moved on TO Sara
toga to pick up his assortment of jump
ers and get them ready for the steeDle
chasing which is sure to be feature
of the meeting. The jumpers have been
idle since the close at Belmont Park.
Azyiade is ready for good race II
work counts for anything. She turned
mile in 1:4l AS yesterday and APP
peared to have plenty left at the end.
