Ronmer Travelled the distance on a
slow track in the fast time of 80 1 %.
4 Fine Programme.
The battle for second honore was a
stubborn one, Manister TOT and Ruens
fghting 1t out every step OF the Jour
ney. Fifty yards from the finish Keogh
managed to whip the Herr colt to the
front and he passed the judges in sec
ond place half a length ahead OF Ruens.
Although no classic was decided, the
programme was the best of the meeting
and furnished half a dozen good CON-
tests. Tho last race, a handicap for
two-year-olds. over the five and a half
furlong course. brought together a quin-
tet OF high class YOUNGSTERS. Wyoming,
from the John +. Madden farm, racing
in the colore of Richard T. Wilson. Jr..
was the favorite. but the trainer Of each
horse In the race thought his charge
would win.
Jack Joyner said Rose Dor was best.
Billy Karrick was fond of Rifle, Willie
Midgley fancied the chances OF Nepper-
han aud Jimmy Fitzsimmons said his
Game Cock would be returned the VIC
tor. Each Of these high class trainers
wagered on his charge and each told his
friends to do likewise. As a result
every contestant was heavily backed.
but Game Cock had the most friends and
at post time his odds had dwindled from
to 1 to 0 to 2.
II. l.. Pratt, was the first away from
the barrier. After getting a trifle the
best Of the 'break'' Jockey Troise held
him under slight restraint but allowed
him to step along in front at a good
pace. When challenged a furlong from
home by Nepperhan Troise gave his
mount one crack of the whip and Game
Cock responded like q high class young
ster and remained in front to earn first
honors by two lengths. Wyoming, whcn
came with a rush in the final sixteenth,
beat Nepperhan by a length for second
honors.
Brings Joy TO Owner.
The victory Of Game Cock brought
great JOY to his noted trainer. Not be-
cause he won a purse but because IL
was tho first time Mr.. Pratt's colors had
finished in front in two years. His last
winner was Socony. which won at the fall
meeting at Piping Rock in 1915.
The greensboro Steeplechase. over the
long two and half mile course, resulted
in an easy victory for ]. e. Davis's
Brooks. He won easily because NJ. l..
Schwartz's Crest Hill stumbled and fell
at the last obstacle. when victory was
within his grasp. with Crest Hill out
of the running Brooks galloped home ten
lengths ahead OF Mrs. T. J. Donohue's
The Brook. which went to the post de-
cided favorite. ]. f. Wfdener's Stone
wood~nnished third.
