Odds-On Choices, Beaten;
Many Upsets at Aqueduct
By w. ]. Macbeth

mere were SO many surprises at
the Aqueduct racetrack Yesterday after
noon 1t seemed about as difficult to
determine where to start in as where
TO leave off. Not the least astonishing
OF program of form acrobatics was
the victory of the Triple Springs
farm's Pen Rose in the Gazelle Handi-
cap at mile and sixteenth, the
feature event. Penrose, backed from
20 to l down to to /, furnished one
or the most luscious melon cuttings of
the Eastern season.
et the victory of Pen Rose was only
g circumstance. Sam Hildreth's Domi,
nlQue, l-to-6 shot that looked safer
lnves tment than the Bank of the United
states, which just now is the daddy
OF al banks, was soundly licked in
lhe HAMBURG Handicap at six and
Iorchbearer, the oddS-on favorite of
the mile gallop that rang down the
curtain, was nosed out on the post by
Aashmlr the second choice.
Mrs. 7. H. Wilson'S Morning Face,
which as q hot favorite at jamaica
was beaten by George Bovee after this
latter ahd lost dozen lengths turning
INTO the stretch, came t. life like a
real good two -yearold flly and out
gained Hope' Princess, the favorite. in
the opening dash of five furlongs. Even
Eupica, the favorite for the ju-E,~,s. was
beaten by Robert Oliver under dis
tressing circumstances.
One Favorite Wins
The only favorite that struck blow
for the talent was J. H. Rosseter's
lnchcape. This fine, big chestnut two
year-old colt is the first get of Frar
Rock, and in winning the fifth race
at five furlongs he did not disgrace his
sire lnchcape had shown so very we'll
in his works that, though he had never
started, he was made favos.ea and
liberally backed.
The field Of maiden two-year-olds
from which Inchcape won was COM
prlsed mostly of Juveniles that had
never before started. Harry Payne
Whitney's Broom Spun, Broomstick
cold, had also been credited with
record breaking work, and he was all
most as highly regarded as Inchcape.
Broom Spun, in spite of very weak
handling on the part of Ambrose, fin
lshed bangup third, and was run
ming over his field at the end. MANY
good judges are Of the opinion that
despite the fact that Inchcape never
was let down.
The story went the rounds before
this race that Mr.. Rosseter had
spurned an offer Of $4,000 for Inch
cape, made by Sam Hldreth. # was
n5t stated whether this Conversational
money was Mex" or U. S. Hildreth
trained Friar Roci. for August Belmont
before the latter sold him to John Z.
Madden for $4,000. Madden in turn
sold Friar Rock and twenty mares to
Mr.. Rosseter for 100000.
For a half mile James Buffers East
View raced with Inchcape Sporting
Blood. another untried one, belonging
to Arnold Rothstein, hung gamely to
the pacemaker through the last quar-
ter. Broom Spun might as we'll have
been in the barn for all the chance he
had with Ambrose This lad never set
Broom Spun down till the eighth pole,
and then the Broomstick colt came like
shot out of gun.
Ensor's Lapse Fatal
1t looked very much as IL the defeat
of Dominique was the result Of care
lessness on. the part Of Ensor. He
didn't see Super charging up on the
rail until too late, he explained to the
stewards who asked him for an expIa-
nation.
1t is true Ensor was looking to the
outside at the badly beateA Hasten On.
But it is equally true that Super pron-
ably would have given Dominique the
beating Of his life under any circum-
stances with an even break at the
start. Super was practically left at
the post and had to make up half a
dozen lengths. Mooney saved lot of
