Tracksend Beats Lucullite
Tracksend has started in two races
here and both resulted in victories.
He met Lucullite in the Keene Me-
rno-isl. and defeated the Belmont star
bv comfortable margin. Without at
tempting 20 detract from the credit due
10 Tracksend, there are many who
would like 20 see the two meet at even
weights. This might settle the dispute
o,ce and for all. In the keene Me-
mortal Tracksend had some twelve
mounds the best Of the weights. and the
race was run in a driving rainstorm
that converted the track into verl-
table canal.
A good line may be had on the rela-
tive merits Of the pair if both fill their
engagements at the summer meeting
Of the Queens County Jockey Club az
Aoueduct, which opens tomorrow.
They will clash in the Hudson Stakes,
which carries q value Of $4,000 and will
be run tomorrow. The Great Amerl-
can. one of the two-year-oid classics

Situation Among Fillies Muddied
The situation among the fllies is
rather muddled. Rosie O'Grady, Royal
Ensign, Enfilade and Quietude have
shown some good races. and others
might be included in the list The first
named has speed 20 burn. but an excess
Of temperament has worked against
her When Rosie decides that it is her
tay for running the others might just

the other hand. when Rosie makes up
her mind TO kick and cavort. she ~

Roysl Ensign has shown good and
fairly we'll in a couple Of her races.

longs in 50 seconds. Just the other
day. however. she took the dust Of En-
flaie in the Rosedslc Stakes. after
