PILGRIM SCORES IN
REMSEN HANDICAP
j. 4. Widener's Colt Comes
From Behind and Wins Fea-
ture at Jamaica Track.
~ HENRY ". KING.

Joseph e. widener's Pilgrim, a bay
son OF Garry Hermann and zoola,
showed that he is a colt far above the
ordinary yesterday afternoon in the
Remsen Handicap at the Jamaica track.
He defeated quintet Of high class
youngsters over the six furlong route
in clever fashion. Outrun in the early
stages of the contest he came with a
rush on the outside in the run through
the homestretch and won eased up by a
length. st. Allan finished second and
Head Over Heels was third.
As Is her custom, Head Over Heels
stepped to the front as soon as the
barrier went UP and set a terrific pace
down the backstretoh and around the
bend. Entering the final straightaway
she began to tire, and so did st. Allan,
which had chased her all the way. As
they faltered Fairbrother took Pilgrim
to the outside, where there was clear
sailing. and began to ride his mount
hard. Pilgrim was full of running and
at the final eighth pole was alongside Of
the leaders. Then he had little difficulty
In going to the front and winning easily.
Head Over Heels quit to a walk in the
nnal sixteenth of mile and st. Allan
took place honors by eight lengths.
John Mulrenen. the young man who
trains couple of horses for Richard
Cook. has certainly worked wonders with
Albert A. Since he came into his care
the gelding has improved from one of
the cheapest platers in the country to a
good handicap horse. In the third race
yesterday. a handicap at one mile and
quarter he scored his third victory
OF the meeting.
As in previous races Albert A. dis
played q great burst of speed and plenty
OF endurance. Opposing him were FIVE
fair horses, including Woodtrap, Snap
dragon, War Machine and Blairgowrie.
Although he suffered from bad racing
luck he managed to beat them home.
AT the end he was half length in front
OF Woodtrap. which was a similar dis
lance ahead Of Snapdragon.
Tommy Rowan rode Albert A and
made the horse run better than ever be-
fore Woodtrap outran him around the
turn, but when Strengthened out in the
packstretch Albert A. sprang to the front
and remained there to the end. Wood
trap ran great race and put I'D
desperate struggle for premier honors,
but Albert A. proved his master and
beat him home In a driving finish.
One OF the largest crowds Of the meet
ing was present and every one at the
course had profitable day, for 1--WE
heavily backed favorites won.
The only upset came In the first race,
when Lawrence Waterbury's Sycamoor,
a to 20 favorite. was beaten BY Mumbo
Jumbo, an outsider. Mumbo Jumbo had
a world OF speed, and stepped to the
front as the barrier went up. He made
every post winning one. and won In a
driving finish by half length.
In the second race Gex. belonging to
r. Dyer, led home a big field OF platers.
He was the favorite at to 5. He was
interfered with several times but Kun
mer put UP a daring ana masterful ride
on him and managed to land him home
In front. length ahead OF Jack Mount.
Sweet Tooth 'ealloped all the way to
win the fifth race. Jimmy Butwell got
him away from the barrier well and the
race was a $ good as over before the first
furlong had been covered. Sweet Tooth
outclassed his opponents and gained
ground with every jump. AS he stepped
past the judges he was nearly dozen
lengths ahead Of Assumption. which beat
Prim II. a length for the place.
In the last race w. r. Goes Star Court
won by head. with Ira Wilson second
and Right Over Might third. During the
run through the homestretch star Court
bore out and carried Ira Wilson with
him. This prevented Ira from doing her
best. With clear sailing he probably
would have won. To the crowd II looked
like a foul, but Buxton. who rode Ira
Wilson. failed to make n claim and the
result was allowed to stand.
