MADDEN SENDS TRIO
OF WINNERS TO POST
Takes Half of Belmont Card,
While G. A Cochran Gets
Plum With PleiOne.
FAST TINE WITH WIND

John r., Madden, an old standby or the
turf, shared the glory at Belmont Park
yesterday with clifford A. Cochran. one
OF the recruits to thoroughbred racing
whose stable has become formidable
under the expert handling OF Trainer
W. r. Midgley. For years Madden has
been recognized as a most potent
breeder and racing owner OF thorough
breds, but It is many a long day since
he sent three winners to the post. an
accomplished fact after Sam McMeekin,
Distance and Stellarina had carried his
colors to victory yesterday.
The only reverse for the Madden col
ors was in the seventeenth running OF
the Fashion Stakes. n with a field
of eight superb looking fllies going to
the post the Hamburg Place representa-
tive, Smoothboro. was the outsider at
30 to 1. The outstanding choice for the
stake was Foxhall p. Keene's Lorac,
which had won impressively on her first
start and had simply burned up the

ton and James Buffers Grasp all found
friends and the surprise OF the specula-
ton was that none fancied Clifford A.
Cochran's Pleione. a flly that had won
her last two races and moreover held
her own In looks with any of the royalty
bred youngsters.
There was a long delay before the
field was sent away, mainly due to the
restlessness OF Pleione, but though the
Cochran Ally was in the hands OF an
assistant starter when the flag fell she
broke second TO Lorac. which Butwell
got away winging. Grasp showed early
speed and took second place when the
field was Strengthened out. but on reach-
ing the head of.the stretch Pleione was
again second to Lorac. with Grasp third
and Celandria fourth. The Keene cham

where Ple!one on the outside was a
length and a half behind. Then Lilley
set TO work on Pleione and with a
remarkable burst of speed the daughter
OF Sain overhauled Lorac. and getting
on even terms at the sixteenth. beat the
favorite out by half a length. Dugan
brought Malachite up with n rush at
the finish and landed third two lengths
behind Lorac. The time OF the face.
IS seconds. equalled the track record
made by Colin In 1907. but there was
half a hurricane blowing the runners
along. which discounted the value OF
the performance from a time standard.

the first race when Sam McMeekin made

graduated from the maiden ranks on
