BIDS HIGH ON WINNER
By ED CURLEY.

Belmont Park. y. Y. July I-Not sat
isfied with taking the measure OF Inc
Finn. Coquette, and other good horses
on Tuesday with Saratoga, Dave Leary
astounded the crowd at Belmont farh
TODAY bv sending ThornhiIl to the post
in the Gramatian Selling Stakes ana TAX
ing down the coin with the Hastings
colt.
Thornhill took the speedy Nirile, 20
larius and Wooden Shoes into camp.
The majority of the spectators and spec
ulators considered that Eirile was the
baby that would get to the wire first
and thereby took to ; for their maZu;na
without the slightest conjunction. That
is all they got for their rnazuma-S to ..
There was sting attached to this
victory for Dave Leary, for Immediately
after the red board SCARED UP the post
ThornhiIl was offered for auction. Emil
Herr made Dave Leary feel sad and then
sadder by his persstency in bidding, and
the run-up never stopped until 5000 was
reached. when Dave bought in his colt
with the aid of the usual five-case-note
bid. The uplift in price cost Dave $1,000
which is some punishment in these days.
The folks who landed on WhimSy to
win the second event were gladdened
for a few seconds when Whimsy headed
out Sky Pilot on the line. Their JOY was
speedily changed to anguish when Nc
Cahey. who rode Sky Pilot, toddled up
into the stewards Sanctum and told the
officials that Whimsy was naughty dur
ing the running and slammed the others
around The stewards thought so. too,
tossed Whimsy into outer darkness, ana
gave the race to Sky Pilot
Taking l to for your money is about
the toughest proposition ever known, and
those who took almost prohibitive odds
on Tralee in the final event will agree
thoroughly. Tralee got home with the
victory all right. but by a margin of an
inch or So Stellarina gave Tralee ter
rife battle for the laUrels, but McCahey
on Tralee outrode Lilly on Stellarina-
