.ablished track record in winning the
feature race at Aqueduct yesterday.
On Watch raced mile and a sixteenth
In the record time of 1:43+5. The
previous record was held by Willis
Sharpe Kilmers Exterminator, which
on June 29 last ran tho distance in
I:44 fat.
The Loft colt sprang real surprise;
one Of the most sensational of the
afternoon. Everybody thought Sam
Hlldreth's Cirrus was cinch. Cirrus
was the good thing of the checkers.

track with bandages in which kitchen
stove might have been hidden
Students Of form were somewhat
leary Of On Watch Not because of
the colt But because Of the rider,
Davies in the first race Of the after
noon was made TO look like q mug BY
Buddy Ensor. Ensor simply stole the
race by his superior ability at horse
nxnship.
Davies Gets Good Start
Came at last the feature race Of the
day, the Bayview Handicap, at a mile
and a sixteenth. with $4,000 added.
Jockey Davies. who had shone none
too brilliantly heretofore. shot out like
q thunderbolt with the rising of the
webbing. On Watch had the rail posi-
ton and Cirrus No. 5. Cirrus, to the
/, outside, challenged On Watch in the
! run through the backstretch. It was a
pretty race. Cirrus in the run around
} the bend was Tapped on On Watch.
But once Strengthened by home it was
Q horse OF an entirely different color.
= Try as he would, with all the skill
and riding knowledge Of Buddy Ensor,
who had the leg up on Cirrus, he could
not cut down the advantage OF his
rival. On Watch raced over the finish
mark in record time, with Cirrus four
lengths behind. Harry Payne whit
ney's Damask trailed five lengths be-
hind Cirrus; ]. E. Widener's Fair Gain
was as far behind Damask
Buddy" Ensor, who suffered a bad
spill Saturday, threatened a real clean
up on his return to the saddle. He
scored double by winning the first
and second events in striking fashion.
Ensor had the mount on R. T. Wilson'S
Light Fantastic in the opening dash of
I've furlongs, for two-year-olds, and BY
his sheer grit and courage landed this
enc winner over the public choice.
7. j. Rush's Silence. the choice of
this event, had e"ery reasonable break
for victory Silence got off flying and
soon opened a gap that appeared a win
ming one. Ensor, who followed the
race most closely, riding with whip and
heel through ne last sixteenth, out
the decision.
e in the second race. a lightweight
handicap for all ages at six and one
half furiongs, Ensor came right
back to another sensational VIC
tory with the Oakridge Stables Sea
Mint. Larry Waterbury's Sennings
Park was considered a real set-up IN
this situation. The good thing was
backed down to ODDS on. Ensor simply
made nonke~ Of Robinson when the
real pinch came and won about as
aandily as he pleased.
