Horses which run truly down tbe lony
straight at Belmont Park are tho .xcon-
uon ana not the rule. In three out Of the
-FOUR races on this course yesterday claims
OF foul were lodged against the winners
for bearing out and finishing on the out
side rail directly under the noses NJ tho
judges.
IN no case was the claim allowed. az
the stewards from their point of vantage
couid see no humping or interference
which would justify disqualification bur
the fact remains that the bows on Nm
proidery' Pawhuska and Altamaha. which
were second in the first. second and
Iourth races, respectively. could not DO
their mounts full justice and were ham,
pered slightly
Inc action OF the Westchester Racing
Association in transferring the six-fur-
long races from the main track TO the
straight is not proving popular. IL was
done with the best Intentions i'm the
world to lessen the chances of accident
from crowdlng on the far turn. but those
VINO go to the track like to see just a bit
more or the horses than is possible in
i'S uo"H the long straight. and
rather resent the change, more partlcu-
larry as there is more swerving and
running out than IN races around the
turn
Buxton, who rode Embroidery for
George Odom in the first race, was posi-
tive he could have won with the flly bv
Celt If Kederis. on Gnat. had not con-
tinually threatened to put him over the
outside rail. The stewards said there was
no actual humping. and that Embroidery
and Harlequin appeared equally guilty
in swerving out.
John +. Madden showed a fine looking
two-year-old filly when he sent Distance
to the post In the third race She is one
Of the last Of the Rock Sands. as that
great sire is now standing in France.
Distance is big for her age, and shows
quality from head to hook She was
beaten yesterday by Lady Rotha, but
gave good account of herself, more
particularly as she was lacking In racing
experience, and appeared to be a little
high in flesh 1t will be surprising II she
does not train on and prove to be one of
the best of her age and sex.
Lysander, which F. Ambrose Clark
bought out of a selling race last year,
was graduated from the maiden class Of
jumpers in the steeplechase in a way to
indicate that he will be even better
horse through the field than he was on
the fiat, when he ranked at the top
among the selling platers He suffered
from an indifferent ride in his first start
on June 4, when beaten by Skibbereen.
The Ogden gelding did not beat much
yesterday. outside Of Thomas Hitch
cocks Bayhead, but his manner OF doing
1t and his clean, bold jumping were con-
vincing of better things.
w. NJ. Carter, who trains the horses
OF the Oak Ridge Stable for Thomas
f. Ryan, feared he had not been able
to do quite enough with Stake and Cap
since she recovered from a slight in
jury suffered at Lexington, but thought
her class and ability to run in the mud
would carry her through in the last race.
She failed, however, largely because
Derrick was pinned in so closely on the
rail in the last sixteenth that he could
not begin to do her justice.
Racing will begin at IL o'clock to-day,
so that those who go to the track will
have time to sec the second game OF
the international polo match.
