Final Strides
By w. ]. Macbeth

D. j. Leary's imported brown four.
year-old colt Sunfash II won the
Bronx Handicap, at a mile and a six
teenth, furnishing the main thrill OF
somewhat tame afternoons racing al
the Jamaica track. Johnny McTaggart
handled this favorite perfectly through
the distance competition, came on just
at the right time to pull the cork Of
Bayberry Candle and won about as he
pleased, eased up to a hand gallop.
Baybcrry Candle, which many re-
garded as live wire. and which Jockey
g. Byrne desperately strove to make
stand up all the way after favorable
start, seemed just bit short for the
route asked of her. The mare showed
all sorts of speed over the first mile
but was tiring SO badly through the
final sixteenth that Hanovia. a rank
outsider, took the place from her in
the final strides. Indeed, Bayberry
Candle did we'll to last long enough to
finish in the. money. Fizer, closing
fast, would have cinched his show
money in a couple more strides.
Bayberry Candle showed world OF
speed up the backstretch and into the
teeth of half gale, McTaggart laid
right behind the pacemaker with Sun
flash, using the front runner as a
windshield. McTaggart's good judg-
ment was vindicated after the two
began to fight it out in real earnest
through the stretch, for when Bayberry
running in all his power
Teddy Rousseau Gets Opener
E. Ambrose put over good one
when he won the brackets with Teddy
Rousseau in the FIVE furlongs sprint
that opened the days proceedings
Little Maudie broke running and set
dizzying pace to the stretch, where
she Weakened Teddy Rousseau, al
ways we'll within striking distance,
came on fast after the final turn and
submission in turn. The favorire,
Keen Jane, was knocked back badly
from q contending position just about
the time Byrne decided he should make
his run.
The six-furlong dash, which came
next, was only an exercise gallop for
Midnight Sun. The third, at mile and
seventy yards, was won quite as
handily by Koh-I-Noor Langden
showed world Of early speed, but
stopped in the stretch. G. Walls waited
WIFI AOu-k-NOOT uuClI CHe maj TURN,
then came with a great rush through
the stretch. He will have no excuse. He
stopped almost to walk in the final
sixteenth.
Common Law, winning favorite of
the fifth event, at mile and seventy
yards, proved one of the sure thing bets
of the afternoon. Byrne waited pa
tiently for Oenone, the pacemaker, that
set a fast clip under McTaggart's guild
ance. When ready at the head Of the
stretch Byrne came away just as he
pleased with the favorite and ran over
Oenone. Dublin Mary, an outsider, An
ished third. None Of the rest Of the
field ever was contender
Outsider Captures Last
Brisk, an outsider, romped off with
the five-furlong finish of the panorama.
Taplin got off winging with this two
year-old son Of Drummond, and never
once was even close to being headed.
He could have won as far as you can
throw stone, but just cantered the
last sixteenth.
Whether or not Brisk would have
had such a cakewalk had John San
ford's entry, Ute and Gath, got an even
break at the start is question open to
doubt. Both were off badly, and both
suffered early interference. Ute made
up a wonderful lot of ground when
once clear. in the stretch and was rum
ming very strong at the end.
