Barklie Victor by Nose
In Handicap SteeplecIlase

Henry 'Specks" Crawford, the
steeplechase jockey. furnished the only
genuine thrill when he took a sesta
and all but lost the rich Double Event
Handicap Steeplechase race at three
miles which featured the first half OF
the annual Autumn meeting of the
United Hunts Racing Association at
the Belmont Park Terminal course
yesterday. Crawford just awokc in
time to rouse Barklie, the entry of
Mrs. Walter NJ. Jeffords, to beat out
the onrushing Robert Oliver by the
scant margin Of nose
After skirting the last obstacle
Crawford began to take up gradually,
thinking he commanded safe advan-
tage over Robert Oliver, which was
running two lengths behind Ned Ken
nedy, on Robert Oliver, noticed Craw-
ford's actions and went determinedlv
after the leader. AS Robert Oliver quick
~ closed the gap and was at the heels of
Barkie, Crawford scented the danger.
He was forced to use all his skill 20
outride Kennedy.
Robin Goodfellow and Gull1ight also
started, but were never dangerous.
Robin Goodfellow led for the first two
circuits OF the one mile course, with
both Crawford and Kennecv bidinn
field emerged from the woods half a
mile further on Barklie showed in the
van by three lengths, with Robert
Oliver second
Crawford then took Barklie out to
four-length lead, with his charge run
ming strongly. Robert Oliver soon
challenged and when Crawford stopped
riding. believing he held a safe ad-
vantage, Kennedy gave chase and all
but caught the sleening Crawford.
While society was we'll represented,
the ATTENDANCE was not so large as
usual. The threatening weather un-
doubtedly kept the crowd away. The
majority OF the onlookers came after
the frst race, when the clouds lifted.
Scratches were many in all six races
on the programme, there being only
two horses facing the starter in the
NTH race, at one mile and quarter.
This contest called for gentlemen
riders. and again Fred Alpers showed
his superior horsemanship when he
rode home Crumpsall of the Dosoris
Stable, as victor over J. F. Flanagan.

after setting a fast pace for half of
the journey put Lyte to the test.
Lytle managed to gain slightly on
Crumpsall but here Alpers gave his
mount his head and bounded awav
quickly For the remainder of the
Journey Flanagan applied the whip
with little effect on Lytle, who grad
ually fell to the rear to be badly
beaten. NA'
Mike Brady, the veteran trainer
