ROBINSON SHINES IN
SADDLE AT BELMONT
Noted Jockey Rides Winners
Of Three Stakcs-COrn Tas-
sci Best in Feature.

Frankie Robinson. the noted Jockey
who is under contract to ride the thor
oushbreds owned by Harry Payne Whit
ney. guided home three winners yester-'
day afternoon at the Belmont Park
track. but on none of them did he carry
the famous light blue and brown cap OF
his employer. He guided home @. d.
Wideners Rose DOT. the victor OF the
Bellair Handicap. steered Dorcas home
in front in the Nassau Selling Stakes
and rode Richard T. Wilson. Jr.'s. Corn
Tassel first past the judges In the Good
Ground Handicap. In each OF these races
his jockeyship was perfect and to him
much credit Is due for each Of the VIC
tories.
The Good Ground Handicap was the
feature. II was for three-year -olds and
upward over the one mile course. Five
good handicap horses went to the post.
They were Corn Tassel. $. c. Hildreth's
Viewpoint. Clifford A. Cochran's Fairy
Wand. Capt f. B. Cassatt's Garbage
and s. r. Tolon's Sir Wellons.
Because Of his past performances Corn
Tassel opened up an odds on favorite at
TO 10, but strong tip on Viewpoint
caused majority OF racegoers to wager
on the former Belmont colt and neglect
Corn Tassel This caused the odds on
the Wilson gelding to recede until at
post time he was at to 5.
Viewpoint put up stubborn fight
until about ffty yards from the
finish when Jockey Robinson was
able to shove his mounts nose In
front. Under the noted Jockeys stren-
uous ride Corn Tassel sped to tho Judges
and won by a length and q haif View
point took second honors. three lengths
ahead Of 0ArbaR0
In the Bellair Handicap Robinson re-
ssrvsd some Of Rose d'Or's speed until
Adeline Patricia, tho pacemaker. faltered
q sixteenth Of mile from home. Then by
a vigorous hnish stalled of challenge
by Clifford A. Cochran's Nepperhan and
passed tho judges a length and a half
in front OF Nepperhan. Adeline Patricia
finished third.
ON Dorcas. In the Nassau Selling
Stakes, Robinson broke" away from the
barrier in front and kept his mount at
top speed until Dorcas finished first four
lengths ahead of Traction. which came
with belated rush and took second
place from Triple Crown.
When Dorcas returned to the scales
he was bid UP by Fl. Fink from $500.
his entered selling price to $500. but
Frank Regan. his trainer. bid an ad-
ditional IS and led him back TO his barn.
