the Odds On Favorite
By W. J. MACBETH

The wise ones" had regular in
ming down at Jamaica racetrack yes-
terday afternoon, even though the
regulars may have suffered untold woe.
1t was day on which public form
was repudiated and thrown to the
four Winds; but a day when good
things" backed to the limit, raced
home in front.
There were two races, the results of
which staggered students of public
form. One was the feature of rather
cheap card-the Alhambra Handicap
for three year olds at a mile and a
sixteenth. W. r. Goes Over There,
which opened at odds-on of 7 to 10
and rcceded to to in the betting,
inquired to stand out alone over this
particular field. But the wise ones
seemed all immured of Lady Gertrude,
backed from 6 to to II TO S. They
had the proper dope, for Lady Ger
trude, simply galloped home.
Over There raced we'll enough for
the first half mile. He fought it out
with Crystal Ford through the early
running. But half way round the far
bend, Butwell made his bid with Lady
Gertrude, and the filly simply kidded
the balance of the field the rest or
the way. Lady Gertrude shot up on
Crystal Ford and Over There as if
they had been tied, ran over both of
them turning into the stretch and won
under pull that had her mouth
wide open.
Favorite Finishes Last
Quite as sensational an upset de-
veloped in the fifth race at mile and
a sixteenth when Thunderstorm, r. T
Wilson'S good colt, which was favorite
in the betting, finished last in a field
OF five. This race was won by Paddy
Whack, which came around the field at
lemons Bon, at the eighth pole.
lemons Bon, the second choice, hung
gamely to Star Realm, the early pace
maker, and raced him into submis-
sion around the bend But as to
Thunderstorm, this one stopped early
in a manner that had the owner and
trainer completely baffled. Thunder
storm pulled up sound after the race
and wasn't even blowing
One of the very biggest killings of
the meeting, if not of the season, was
pulled off in the third race, claim
ing affair at a mile and a sixteenth

gamely and outasted Miss Orb, a so to
shot Betty Bluff was backed from
20 to ! to 8 to'l. Tctley, the odds-on
favorite, ran as if he had divers shoes
on his hoofs. He couldn't work up a
decent exercise gallop.
Miss Orb and Betty Bluff fought it
out all the way. Betty Bluff took the
lead at the beginning of the back
stretch and from there made every
post a winning one.
Veteran Shows Fine Finish
The ancient and honorable NJ. Noun
tain, who 'Yas one of the best jockeys
Of fifteen years ago and who is at
tempting a comeback, rode an excel
lent finish with Betty Bluff and STAYED
off the gan:e challenge of j. Zoeller,
with Miss Orb, at the end.
Beck and Call, favorite of the first
dash at six furlongs, seemed stiff as
a board and was lost in the shuttle
after the first turlong. G. d. Wide
ner's R. nbler Rose took the track
shortly after the start and lasted long
enough to bet w. r. Goes Cinderella,
the second choice, which vas always
the contender
The North Shore Stables Back Bay
won the second race at six furlongs by
grace Of al. excellent ride on the part
of Jimmy Butwell. Butwell came
through on the rail, opened up q big
gap in the stretch and conserved his
firing mount to beat Ground Swell.
he latter, despite Indifferent hand
ling on the part of @. Preece, closed
with plenty of courage and would have
won with bit more % go.
