Mars Cassidy practically presented
John Sanford's Tippity Witchet with the
Rainbow Handicap, worth $4,000. yes
terday afternoon at the Jamaica track.
He sent the son of Broomstick away
from the barrier running, three lengths
ahead Of his opponents. and this advan-
tage was sufficient to enable Tippity
witchet TO win easily by length and
half from s. c. Hildreth's Lucullite.
Tippity witchet Is an entirely different
horse from last year He has all the
speed that made him famous as a two
year-old and caused John Sanford to buy
him for $4,000. He stepped over the
six furlong course in III 40 and
dqualled the track record established by
Lucullite last fall. but despite his great
speed he might not have won II the start
had been good one.
Lucullite did not break we'll and
was slow to get into motion, with the re-
suit that Tippity Witchet had a COM
manding lead before the first furlong
had been covered Rounding the turn
p. A Clarks Lion Dor ranged along
sldo Of Tippity Witchet, but the Sanford
horse was under a pull, and when let
down in the homestretch he sped away
from Lion Dor and withstood Lucul-
lite.s determined challenge by doing his
best
Lucullite displayed a great burst of
speed in the homestretch. but the best
he could do was take the second end of
the purse, half length in front of Lion
Dor.
A. N Macomber's Hollister and
George d. Wideners Lanius were the
also rams. Because OF the bad start neil
Their Of them had a chance Of victory.
Phantom Fair Scores.
In the Madison Stakes for two-year-
olds ]. W. McClelland's Phantom Fair
scored an easy victory. She is a daugh-
ter of Peter Ounce and is noted for her
great speed and faint heart. Yesterday
she didn't have any occasion to show her
lack OF courage. She quickly opened up
n big gap and never allowed any of her
opponents TO get near her. At the end
of the five furlongs journey she was gal
looping five lengths in front of T. II. WILL
sons Tattle. Robert l.. Gers Indiscre-
ton was third.
King Herod, the imported son of Colin
and Acalot. which was heralded as a
world beaten as a two-year-old. caused
the biggest disappointment of the day.
He was matched with the cheapest kind
of selling platers and was considered q
certain winner. He was an odds on
favorite at IL to 20 and was heavily
backed at that short price. He broke in
front and quickly gained a big lead on
his field. While rounding the bend 1t
seemed as IL he couldn't lose. But when
Elected II. challenged he quit completely
and was beaten by three lengths.
King Albert. belonging to Thomas
Monahan, won the last race by a head
but there were hundreds in the grand
stand who declared that he was beaten
a good margin by Raj PARIS Anzac
Anzac finished on the outside OF the
track, while King Albert came along on
the rail. The angle probably deceived
many, for the Judges, who are in the
beet position to see the finish, said there
was no question about the result, and
that King Albert had won by a good
head.
To win the race King Albert had to
be much tho best. After busting the
Aarrler three times and running a six
sSsnth OF a mile each time, he got away
badly, and when the bend was reached
was next to last and apparently out OF
II. Going around the turn he improved
his position a little, and entering the
homestretch saved ground. Then he
closed with a rush and got UP in time
to win the purse.
Goaler Scores.
After several disappointments Goaler
belonging to Mickey" Miles, the ole
time jockey who gained fame in thu
saddle while riding the horses belong
ing TO PA" DAILY, won a race. He de
feated a field of platers in the fiftl
race in handy fashion. Goaler is i'm
proving with each race, and 1t would moi
be surprising to see him hold his owl
in better company. Ridden faultlessl,
BY Ted Rice he followed the pace L
the homestretch. There he displayed |
good burst OF speed and beat out vii
freda by three parts OF length.
The third race went to Benevolent. HI
showed no early speed and at the hal
mile post was far in the ruck. He was
twenty lengths behind Our Nephew. thu
pacemaker. and showing no inclination
20 do his best. But when Strengthened
out for the home run he suddenly cam'
10 life and ran over his opponents He
got up in time to score an easy victory
three lengths ahead OF Our Nephew.
