LUCULLITE VICTOR
IN THE EDGEMERE


his charge free rein and In few strides
Barklie was on even terms with Decisive.
Then followed as pretty a race through
the field as has been seen this season.
Decisive had a lot of speed in reserve
and would not quit. He Is only little
fellow, but he has great courage and
he gave BarlSlle a hot fight for a quarter
of mile Over the last three obstacles
the pair went almost abreast. But when
the final run came Decisive was tired
and staggering from fatigue. while his
big opponent was increasing his speed
with every bound. So In the run to the
judges Barklie had little difficulty in
bounding away and winning by four
lengths. Decisive finished second, nearly
a sixteenth of a mile ahead of North
wood.
The last race, at i've furlongs. for two
year-olds, furnished one of the most
thrilling finishes Of the meeting. At the
end George d. Wideners Rambler Rose
and John E. Madden's May Alley were
50 close together that only the judges
could separate them. To a majority of
the crowd 1t seemed like a dead heat,
but the officials announced that Rambler
Rose had won by a short head. The
Oneck Stables Swirl was third.
Great Ride by Rice. =
That Rambler Rose won was due to an
exceptionally fine ride by Ted Rice. This
great jockey rode as he seldom has be-
fore. He got his mount away on her
toes and made her step out of the chute
and down the straightaway at her best
pace. Under his vigorous riding she led
the way by length until fifty yards
from the judges. At that point May
Alley came with a rush and ten Jumps
from the finish was at Rambler Rose
throatlatch. But that was as far as she
got. Rice went to work on his mount
and fairly lifted Mr.. widener's lilly over
the ground and by an energetic move In
the last stride enabled his mount to stick
her head home in front
The only surprise of the day came in
the third race, when Robert L. Gerry's
! 1ndiscretion led home a big field OF
cheap youngsters. She was much the
| best and romped past the finish line two
lengths In front of Cock o. the Roost
Foreclosure was third and Orleans Girl
fourth.
Indiscretion was one of the outsiders
and was considered to have little or nc
chance OF victory. Early In the season
| she was thought to be a stake Ally
but she was tried a dozen times and
always found wanting. In her last race
she showed a good burst of speed, but

start and was never headed.
