~
ny HENRY v. KING.
Dunboyne. the big chestnut son OF
Celt and Workmaid. which won the
Futurity OF 1917, proved to the largest
crowd that ever visited the Jamaica
track yesterday afternoon that he Is
a truly great sprlnter and thor
oughbred which will have TO be reck-
oned with In the fight this year for
the title OF king of the turf. He won
the Paumonok Handicap like a real
champion. and without doing his best
beat home the renowned Billy Kelly and
seven other good sprinters in sensational
style. He carried ll5 pounds and sped
over the six furlong course on heavy
track in the fast time OF ~ 2-5. Billy
Kelly finished second, three lengths back
and a half length ahead of Tlcklish,
which took the third end OF the purse.
The Paumonok was the feature of the
opening of the sport in the metropolitan
district, and despite the heavy clouds
, and showers In the morning and early
afternoon more than $4,000 turned out
TO usher in the season. They filed the
enlarged club house to overfiowing and
packed the huge grand stand and the
lawns
Before the first race was called the
sun came out and made the afternoon
ideal for the sport. With the sun came
sharp wind which helped 10 dry out
the track. with the result that when the
nine horses went TO the post for the
Paumonok the footing was not treacher-
Gus. Near tthe rail II was wet and
l,aa t,, bz
the tufGB ii was almost fast.
Billy Kelly Rules FavOrite.
Because OF the condition OF the track
Sam Hlldreth scratched Lucullite. With
him out of the race Billy Kelly was
made the favorlte He was shouldering
the heavy impost of 126 pounds, but
because OF his great record as juvenile
and as a sprinter last year he was con
sidered sure winner by q majority OF
the followers of the sport.
Dunboyne was not neglected. He hai
been working wonders this spring a
Belmont Park. and William Hogan, the
trainer who prepared him for the race
was confident he would win.
"There is no horse in America that
can beat that fellow ct sir turlongs
win this race as far as you can throw
your hat"
Mr.. Hogan gave Dunboyne his final
"prep" for the race on Wednesday morn
ing and then resigned his position as
trainer for p. A. Clark, Jack McCor-
mack, who formerly handled the horses
for James Butler, succeeded him.
Here's the winner of the Paumonok
and the Metropolitan, too" Mr.. Hogan
told his successor as he turned over the
horses to him. This fellow was always
a great horse. He was great when he
won the Futurity and he would have
been greater last year II he had not met
with bad luck and had been ridden by
jockey like Ted Rice. I have engaged
Rice to ride him. He'll be here from
Pimlico on Saturday morning"
Dunboyne is not exceptionally fond OF
the mud, but despite that Hogan was
sure he would win. He'll run those
horses dizzy In the first half mile" he
told his friends, "and come home by
himself"
And his predictions came true.
DunbOyne Much the Best.
Dunboyne was slow to break" but
when Rice got MIN into his stride he
set sail for his opponents. which broke
on their toes and were in front Of him,
and before the first furlong had been
run he had his nose in front. Billy
Kelly and Old Rosebud gave him fight
for a sixteenth Of a mile, but then Dun.
boyne sped away from them and set a
terrific pace. Rounding the turn he was
four lengths in front, Entering the
homestretch Billy Kelly made another
bid for the lead, but try as he might,
he was unable to get within striking
distance OF the leader, which sped past
the grand stand and to the finish line
under slight restraint As he passed the
Judges he had plenty OF speed In re-
serve
Billy Kelly ran his customary coura-
geous race, and under Furnishing drive
saved second honors from Ticklish,
which came with a determined rush in
the last furlong.
The Suffolk Selling Stakes, the Sec
ondary feature, went to J. A. Coburns
Alcatraz in driving finish by a nose.
The stake was for Juveniles, and ten
youngsters. seven of which had never
faced q starter, went to the post. All
Of them had worked we'll for the event
and the owner and trainer of each was
confident of victory. When 1t came to
racing Alcatraz. which had run in Mary
land, and Frizlet. a good looking son OF
Frizzle and Seemly, owned by the Oneck
Stable, were the only ones in the con-
test. They raced head and head far
in front of the remainder from
start to finish. At the end only the tip
of Alcatraz's nose was in front That
Alcatraz won was because of his bet
ter condition. His previous race had
msfn him a bit stronger than FriZlet
and managed to stick 1t out a trifle bet
ter than his green opponent.
Padriac ran an exceptionally good
race in the opener. He sped away from
a big field OF threesyear-old sprinters
and covered the five and a half furlong
route over the heavy track In the good
time Of l :07 as. His fast pace through
the mud tended to tire him, and at the
End he was showing signs OF distress.
and Ted Rice was compelled to do his
best to land him home a length and q
half In front OF Mrs. Payne Whitney's
Red Red Rose.
A sea soDad youngster took the last
when Runatrlx. belonging to A. Z.
Spreckels, led bone big field of young
stPrS which were making their debut
under silks. He led almost all the way
and had little difficulty stalling off a
determined rush by the Quincy Stables
