out OF MISS Crittenden, won a most
impressive victory in the Youthful
Stake at Jamaica track yesterday
afternoon. The Ballot colt galloped
off with this $4,000 fixture despite the
opposition Of field Of class in record
making time. Lyke brought Lord
Brighton home in the fast time of
1:06 1-5 for the fve-and-a-half fur
long dash, better time than had been
stake had been contested at yester-
days distance.
Trailing the feet Lord Brighton came
such fast ones as Routledge, Yurucari,
War Mask, Hannibal, Grimalkin. Sea
Pirate and The Boy, in the order
,, named. The last two mentioned were
added.
r. T. Wilson, ir.'s, Hannibal, and
John Sanford's Yurucari were both
favorably regarded as likely to give
Lord Brighton the race of his life.
So also was Walter NJ. Jefforde's Rout-
ledge. And this last one was the colt

faithful hackers of form.
Yurucari is slow breaker and found.
| himself shut off shortly after the
start. Jockey E. Ambrose, on the
other hand, got off winging with Rout-
ledge and throughout the first half
mile threatened to spread-eagle the
held. This son of Toddington cut out
a pace which had not been bettered by
two-year-old in the East in many
day. Swinging around the first turn
Routledge had crowded out TO two full
lengths in front of Lord Brighton,
And Routledge was running apparently
well within himself
Lyke Seizes Opening
! Lyke made his bid with Lord
Brighton as the field swung around
the final turn for the short sprint
home. Ambrose went just a little
wide with Routledge here and Lyke
quickly availed himself of the oppor-
tunity of coming through on the rail.
Down the stretch the two courageous
colts fought it head to head. Rout-
lcdge hung on gamely until well
within the eighth pole. Whether on
account of the early killing pace he
had maintained or whether. he was
just bit short Of the distance, it
was loon apparent that Routledge had
begun to tire perceptibly, almost with
the goal in sight. Once Lord Brighton
had collared the pacemaker it was
seen the race was over. Lyke and
Ambrose both called all their horse
manship into play through the final
yards. but Routledge was tirlng fast
and Lord Brighton was pulling further
away with each succeeding leap.
The fast Yurucari, once the colt
! round his foot, Fan a truly remark
able race also. But the stretch turn
found him so far back he never had
chance to get up with the real con-
lenders. Yurucari was running over the
others at the end. Hannibal had no
excuse. He was off on even terms with
houtledge. He didn't have the speed,
or else the heavy impost told on the
Olambala colt.
Two Startling Upsets
A couple of startling upsets devel-
oped in the overthrow of odds-on
choices. The first came in the second
event, which fell to Enfilade. Jyntee,
ridden by Walls, was 3-to-5 favorite
for this event. Walls was not ready
for the barrier and his mount was prac-
tically left. Jyntee made up lot of
ground after getting started, but Byrne
beat the barrier so far with Enflade
that the race was decided in the first
fifty yards.
The imported Harwood II, another
odds-on favorite, came cropper in the
mile and seventy yard closing event. He

for he was off as we'll as might be
expected. 1t was case of Langden
racing the favorite into the ground.
! Fairbrother scored cleverly with
Nutcracker over the mile and seventy
yards IN the fifth race. He waited with
Nutcracker to the stretch turn, then
skinned through on the rail, opened
/ up big gap and won easily.
Poacher Wins CleverIy
Poacher won the third. at mile and
a sixteenth, in clever style. Walls went
right out at the start and made it a
stern chase for the others all the wav.
Lyke did threaten with Home, Sweet
Home for time in the stretch, but
dropped back again at the eighth pole.
Byrne scored with Flyaway, the
favorite in the five furlong opener.
by grace of flying start. Flyaway
just did last long enough to stand of
Polygon through the final sixteenth.
The latter closed with a rush and might
have won in another stride.
