LADIES' HANDICAP
ElkwOOd Park Stables Filly

String Of Victories.
CHASE FOR REPENTANT

hulIeF was CneCkcd yesterday WHeH tho
Flkwood Park Stables Celandria de-
feated Mr.. Buffers Capra In the Ladies
Handicap, which was the feature OF the
dullest days racing that has been seen
at Belmont Park his season. Half a
dozen went to the post. including Flying
Fairy. which carried the top impost Of
1926 pounds, the same weight she carried
when she won this event In 1914. Celan-
dria. n high class racer as a two-year-
old. had to pick UP ia pounds and was
conceding scale weight TO every n In
the race.
II was the general opinion that the
only reason why Capra did not add the
Ladies Handicap to the many turf
triumphs scored by the Butler stable
this year was because the stable jockey.
LOTUS, was unable to ride on account
Of his suspension for rough riding In the
Withers stakes on Thursday.
Capra had speed enough TO take the
track away from Flying Fairy III the
run along the back stretch and then
threw mud at the struggling bunch be-
MUD until she hit the stretch. There
NrDermott made the mistake OF hugging
the rail-. where the going was heavy.
Celandria shot uron frmer ground on
the outside and won by a length. Capra
hung on TO the place, beating Fenmouse
half a length. Flying Fairy was unable
to negotiate the heavy going. but An
ished In front OF Dorcas. which showed
early speed and was we'll up with the
pace until the final test in the stretch.
clifford A. Cochran's Plelone was fat
Rooted at the start and never had a
chance afterward.
The selling Stecplechase was one OF
the best races Of the day. seven Of the
eight starters standing up in spite Of
the t~reachcrous going. Syosset was made
favorite over Mrs. Philip S~tevenson's
dependant, but got away slowly and
never hit his stride until Il was too late.
dependant followed the pace closely all
the way and went 10 the front IN the
hackstretch on the lasi turn Of the course
and won easily by eight lengths from
Leonard Jacobs Zellwood. The latter
had to keep driving to beat Harry La
M~ontagne's Flying Peep by two lengths
FOR the place.
The Oneck Stables Yankee Notions
had little difficulty taking the first race
from James Buffers pervish, He was
an odds on favori,e. but not such a
strong choice as the Brighton Stables
Woodward. which was held at | to s
in the second race far maidens. Wood
ward Just galioped ION two lengths In
front OF the imported horse Pinch. which
made a good stretch run 1f;o. a slow
beginning.
A rumor that Ida Claire had run away
and banged into a fence In the morning
caused this Platter TO be the outsider in
a field Of three that went to the post
