ProDaoiE lhe greatest upset OF the
day came in The Autumn Day Handi-
cap. the feature event, which was over
the six-furlong course for two-year-
olds. This went to Fred Burlews Irish
Dream. whose victory completely
stunned the talent. Irish Dream was
strongly supported by the wise ones"
who got 6 to l for their money. In
her last start, over five and haif fur
longs. Irish Dream folded up a six
teenth from home and finished third
behind Star Court and Homely.

clean of interference from st. Allan
in the last sixteenth mile. Homely.

70 Is to 10, finished fourth,
Fairbrother Held Back
Jockey Mountain, on st. Allan. was
guilty of unfair tactics during the
race. in that he kept Jockey Fairbroth-
er. or Pilgrim, penned in on the rail
until Irish Dream had crosse dthe fin
ish line. Fairbrother then managed
10 get clear and gathered second
nonors.
Starter Mars Cassidy also failed to
appeasc the players by his poor start
in the fifth race, which killed the
chances Of Lady Gertrude. the favorite,
which was not in position when the
barrier was sprrp,. Lady Gertrude
took up d hopeless chase. for she was
five lengths in the rear when she finally
got away from the webbing.
In spite of her belated start many
believed that Lady Gertrude would
make up the distance. However, the
dlly did not show her usual speed, al

the second choice, ran a capable race,
sprinting away from Salestrv on the
backstretch. to win by over half a

iion. found an opening on the rail

moor, the favorites. ran themselves out

La Balafre succeeded in pulling down
second honors.
Poor Rides by Davies
Poor riding by Tommy Davies was
responsible for the defeat of Flibberty
giboet, the favorite, in the opening
dash. Flibbertygibbet was much the
best of her field. Although away froA
she barrier last, she fairly flew past
her opponents and finished second.
The purse went to George Peterson's
Lonely, which was off quickly and tow
roped his deld to the finish.
The sixth race, at a mile and quar-
Ter, furnished the most exciting strug-
gle of the day. j. G. Wagner's con
sistent performer, Jack Mount, with
the apprentice jockey, Zoeller, in the
saddle, proved the victor. Grundy:
Woodtrap and Orderly. which finished
as named, were close behind each other
at the windup The long striding Jack
Mount set a killing pace. with Grundy
always near. Down she stretch, how
ever, Jack Mount stood 4 long drive
gamely ard just lasted TO stave off the
rush Of Grundy
