Joe McCahcy and Jimmy Butwell ~
vided the card. each riding three WIZ
ncrs as the curtain was rung do"n AZ
Aoueduct. In addition TO Roamer. bu'-
well scored with Sun King and Watcr-
town. while McCahey rode ScalIywae'
Athena and Naiad 70 victory.
This put McCahey a. the head OF the
winning Jockey list for the meeting
with eighteen TO his credit. He was
Two behind Buxton when the day ;
racing began, but evened the score N
the first two races. and took command
in the fifth when Naiad won.
Buxton had one more chance. as ne
had the mount on the Oneck Stable s
highly tried kaskaskia in the last race
with McCshey looking on. The MY
came swinging down 70 the last 1ur-
long pole. four lengths in front, but
suddenly began 20 stop a. If short, ana
Wstertown. closing strongly under the
whip, got up 10 win going away.
This put Buxton one winning mount
behind McCahey and three in front Of
Butwell, who finished third with four
teen.
The feeling was strong after the first
race that Buxton WAS beaten head
on the best horse, and that Scallywac
owed his victory 70 the stronger and
smoother finish b. McCahey 1t seemed
20 be overlooked, however, that Scally-
wag from an outside position al the
post had to cover slightly more ground
than Azyiade, and that, all thinks con.
sidered. his victory was deserved, anC
Il vas hardly fair TO say that II
g. Hallenbeck's flly was the bette
horse. even though McCahey rode thu
stronger finish.
Il was a pretty race between tn
three placed horses, az each one lOOke'

Buxton probably would have done bet
ter 70 pay less attention TO her an'
more 10 Scallywsg on the outside.
Henry }. Morris. who owns the win
ner, gave all credit 20 McCahey FOL
keeping his horse, which showed dis
position TO bear IN 20 the rail, straight
and IN his stride
