That Harry Payne Whitneys two
year-olds will have something to say
about this years Juvenile champion
ship most everybody was willing to
concede al the finish of the Keene
Memorial, the feature of yesterday 5
racing at Belmont Park Tryster, a
fine, black colt by Peter Pan-Tryst, ar
nexed this $4,000 race in impressive
fashion, showing wonderfully game
finish under heavy impost, and after
his misbehavior at the post must have
taken lot out Of him.
Tryster picked up 12s pounds and
ran the FIVE furlongs through the
straight chute in the fast time of
1905 So He had no picnic in win
ring. He had to be true THOROUGH
bred to triumph. R. T. Wilson's Kirk
Lexington, an Olambala colt, which was
making his first appearance under silks
and which was in at 112 pounds, gave
lryster a battle that he will remember
tor some days tc come
1t was whispered around generally
that Kirk Lexington was the best colt
in the Wilson string, and he looked the
part every second of the race. From
now on he should be mighty tough
one Tor any Juvenile to beat. Mr.. Will
son thought SO much of Kirk Levington
that he scratched Sedefeld, known
quantity. Because he was unknown Kirk
Lexington was held the rank outsider
IN a field of four. 1t is safe to saw
THAT 1T will be may day before he
goes to the post with Is to l laid
against his chance.
Third Money for Normal

John E. Madden, and thereby somewhat

SO far as making up known class to
the held was concerned. He drew down
chlfd money for his pains, though there
were many of the opinion that he was
asking too much of the colt to race
nm so often. Normal had won a race
