New-York tribune., 1919-10-22


bal, In the feature race of the after
: noon, the New Rochelle Handicap Of
$4,000, ran true to form and won
easily. while Right Over Might, the
other sure thing, also lived up to ex-
pectations. The others were nowhere.
I. was thought that the heavy weight
carried by Hannibal might give Drum
nond chance, considering the race
this horse ran the other day.
But Hannibal was hardy extended
Buddy Ensor, who arrived at Empire
City last night. rode the winner in
good manner. He got him up into the
lead In short order and held him there
the rest Of the way. Drummond set
out to overtake aim in the stretch,
but could never get up on even terms
with the victor. The other two horses
we're outclassed the whole distance.
One of the surprises of the day was
the victory of Old Rosebud. the veteran
racing horse, which captured the Sir
Archy lightweight Handicap of $1,000
Incidentally the win of Old Rosebud
was made in an impressive manner.
Keeps En- Guessing
There is no telling when this star
old runner is going to come through
he Is apt to win two or three races in
succession and then not finish in the
money. Suddenly he will be back at
the front again. That next time may
be q week, month or two months.
Old Rosebud will keep the patrons
guessing again now for another few
weeks Then when least expected he
will be out in front again.
Cured in the very first race. The
problem seemed to be to choose rightly
between Sand Bed and Bright Gold.
Sand Bed was thought to have little
the better Of the issue, but Bright
Gold received tremendous play.
Sister Helene and Foreclosure, both of
whom finished ahead of the favored
two. we're not considered highly.
But Jockey McCabe gave Sister
Helene a splendid ride, got her into
the lead in jig time and held her there
TO the finish. His ride on Old Rosebud
incidentally was also creditable. Fore
closure, running in third position for
most Of the distance, closed with a
rush that nearly overcame the leader,
but Sister Helene gamely stood off the
challenge. Sand Bed managed to finish
In the money. while Bright Gold was
lost in the shuttle.
A hot tip came out on Right Over
Might long before the start of the sec
ond race. That the tip was good was
proved when the Beach Stable mount,
ridden by Buxton, got a flying start,
held the lead throughout the course
and won with ease. Ira Wilson, which
was played heavily, was easily the best
Of the others. and Northward landed
third money. Simpleton, rated good
thing from past form and carrying
plenty of money, finished bad last
1t was figured that Woodtrap's hour
came around, and there was a grand
rush to get on the North Shore stables
entry. Paddy Whack and Ground Swell
we're favored to furnish the contention,
and although Jack Mount received a
big play his chances weren't thought
to be the best by any means. Wood
trap, ridden by Butwell, got off in the
lead and maintained that position until
the final stretch, only to be passed by
Jack Mount, Paddy Whack got in
third
The last race, won by The Peerless
One, was chiefly due to the ride that
Jockey Hummer gave his horse. Every
one OF the first seven horses to finish
we're thought to have q good chance,
with Little Nearer favored. Hummer
got his mount away we'll, and then
*nen the stretch was entered sent the
nry over Bar One by quarters
OF length.
