COMPADRE FIRST IN
WOODMERE STAKES
Little Son Of Colin Comes Back
From Long Vacation in
Great Style.

Compadre, the little black son OF the
Immortal Colin. added another stake to
his long list yesterday afternoon at the
Aoueduct track. He won the woodmere
Stakes from a high class neld in COM
handing fashion. At the end Of the
ak furlong journey he was length
ahead Of Lieut. Raymond Belmont's
Jyntee, which took second honors by .
length and half from Panaman.
1t was Compadre's FIRST race In two
months, and he came back from his va
cation stronger and faster than ever.
Instead OF dashing to the front a. soon
as the barrier was sprung, as had been
his custom, he followed the pace until
entering the homestretch.
At that point Andy Schuttinger gave
him free rein and before the final pole
was reached Compadre was in front.
once in command he stepped along at a
fast pace and won with speed in reserve.
The little colt went the six furlongs in
The fast time Of 1 :12 l-b.
After dozen defeats Ballet Dancer
"a the two-year-old daughter Of Sweep
and Ballot Girl, belonging to James
Fitzslmmons. was graduated from the
mal0en ohC uCkCotCu . hclu
Of Juvenile fillies in the last race in
impressive style. At the end of the
five furlong Journey she was half a
length ahead Of Harry Payne Whitney's
Petrol.
Great speed In Trials.
Since early in the spring Ballet Dancer
has displayed q tremendous burst Of
speed ndher early morning trials. Often
she has beaten Ophelia and Question
naire. but in her races she ran only in
spots" and was always beaten off.
Despite her bad races her trainer would
not believe she was morning glory"
Before each Of her races he talked
about the speed and stamina she dis
played in the morning. There's some
thing materially wrong somewhere" he
said i've seen a host of morning
glories and IL this filly is one she Is a
brand new kind. She works like a
champion, eats like q champion and
walks like a champion, and in her work
does everything I ask her to do, and
"mornlng elories" don't do those things.
After studying her carefully all year
he finally solved the problem In her race
last Saturday. He found out why she
ran in spots" 1t was because George
Walls his Jockey, was not big enough
to handle her properly. She Is a heavy
headed flly with a weak mouth. In
her races she got her head away from
Walls and when he pulled 1t UP he hurt
her mouth. This caused her to falter.
Yesterday Fitzsimmons engaged Rice.
veteran and stronger boy. to ride
her. and the change had the desired
effect. Rice got her away we'll and fol-
lowed Petrol to the head of the stretch.
There he gave Ballet Dancer 4 touch
Q. the whip and the Ally went to the
front and, standing a long drive, won
IN the fast time Of 100.
