Miss Jemima, queen of the West
Stakes of $1,000 at Empire City yes
whose victory over the dash of abo
fortunes by $1,000 prize money, was
journey as the result of the perfect
back from Saratoga especially for t
tance in ITO fiat, which was excel
condition of the track.
+. L. Gerry's Feodor ran a wonderful
race and finished second. half a length
behind Jemima. Feodor was pressed
closely for the place at the end by j.
J. O"Toole's krewer. R. F. Carmans
Carmandale, which most everybody ex-
pected 10 furnish the real competition
for Miss Jemima. finished absolutely
in the ruck of the field of four, beaten
of fully ten lengths.
Right up to the very finish this run
ming of the East View Stakes was
thoroughbred struggle that stirred all
red blood to the boiling point. Mars
Cassidy did himself proud by sending
the four away in almost perfect align
ment Feodor proved the fastest break
er and for few strides the yellow
OF r. l.. Gerry flashed half length in
front. But Lotus soon got Miss
Jemima into her racing stride and be-
gan to draw up on the early pace
maker.
Feodor Loses Ground
Carmandale, too, on the outside, was
running well. Before a furlong had
been reeled off both Miss Jessica and
Carmandale had raced up, then shaken
off, the resolute Feodor. Around the
bend raced Miss Jemima and Carman-
dale at breakneck speed. LOTUS on
the inside, with the highly favored
FLY forcing Jimmy Butwell to take
the longer journey, naturally, Feodor
was shaken off by couple Of lengths
trailing we'll within striking distance.
Coming into the stretch turn the
front pair, racing like team. because
Of the terrific pace swung trife wide,
but out where the footing was more
firm than at the rail Hummer. with
Feodor, availed himself OF this golden
opportunity to make good much Of his
disadvantage. He skinned the rail
and n twinklirg was almost up with
the pascemaakers. It was just about
here that Carmandale's s supporters got
their death blow. Mr.. Carman's colt
had been killed off in his duel with the
Western crack. Raced blind and dizzv.
he folded and fell back quickly. Miss
Jemlmas most dangerous competitor
had been accounted for and the flly
was not yet straight.
Hummer came like a rocket on the
inside with Feodor. and for a moment
the supporters Of Mis- Jemima had a
shock. 1t the sixteenth pole Feodor
poked his rose up even with the leaders
saddle girths. It looked as If Feodor
vas about TO pass the favorite. But
LOTUS simply gave the FLY her head.
She bounded away as If Feodor had
been tied and VAS drawing away at the
end
Mss Jemima appeared TO be bleeding
slightly a. the nose as Lotus rode her
p.audits oe the Big holiday crowd. The
sly deserved an ovation, as she ran her
wonderful race after a trying journey
from Kentucky. Here is a flly which
a. Saratoga is likely to have q lot to
say as to where the 1919 year-old
crown viii be placed. so far Miss
jer1ima has never met Competition able
