Stitch in time IS
FIRST in FEATURE
Captures Kentucky Stake from
Classy Field at Saratoga.

Saratoga Springs. N. Y. Aug. 90
Tho Kentucky stakes for 2-year
old fillies at five and one-half fur
longs was the outstanding feature of
good card run of at the Spa today.
The field was composed OF nine shifty
fillies and the winner Sutch-in-Time,
admirably ridden by Jockey Buxton
proved the best of the field Ito win
from Dawn Star by a half length.
while Umatilla was third. Annchen
who has won her two previous starts
was looked upon as the logical win
ner of the stake. but at no stage of
the contest was she able TO give argu-
ment to any of the first in the
money.
Corn Tassel came back to life again
today and easily accounted for the
third race, while Samuel Ross Crank
was second length in front of Wal
nut Hall, third. Crank ran an i'm
pressive race and will bear watch
ing in the future. As a 2-year old
he was looked upon as a great colt.
and at one time it was rumored that
Mr.. Ross had refused $1,000 for him.
The steeplechase was annexed by
Bally Bay from Reddest and Bam-
boo, while the favorite Old Salt
finisheds outside of the money. The
winners trailed his field until the last
half mile where he came on to win
handily. He fenced faultlessly and
had much speed left in reserve.
Top o. the Wave accounted for the
initial number when he easily de-
feated Tie Pin and Ocean Prince.
ThornhilI who was also in the field
ran far below his form; he can
do much better than his race would
indicate today.
Many horsemen now racing here
have declared their intention of ship
ping their stables to the new course
at New Orleans, which Is owned by
O'Hara and Bryan. They will cam
paisn their stables through the Mary
land course during the fall and will
| ship direct TO New Orleans so as 70
pe on hand for the opening day.
which begins on Thanksgiving.
1t is said there will be no conflict
in dates with the other track at
New Orleans. and that the manage
ment of the new course are in accord
with the owners of the older course.
