DOMINIQUE EQUALS
RECORD AT JAMAICA
Speedy Son of Peter Ounce
RIMS Off With Stake i'm His
Initial Start.
ny HENRY v. KING.

Dominique, the chestnut son OF Peter
Ounce. which John E. Madden sold tc
Sam Hildreth for $40. 900 two years ago
still retains the speed which caused him
to be heralded a speed marvel as a
juvenile. He came out for the first time
In more than a year yesterday after
noon and ran the best race OF his career.
In the Rainbow Handicap at six fur
longs he beat the best lot of sprinters
that have raced around here this year
and equalled the track record of
IL 4-5, held jointly by Lucullite and
Tippity Witctiet
The speedy colt didn't have 10 run his
best to win. either. Sande got him
away from the barrier flying and rushed
him into a big lead. Then he sat down
and held him under restraint until Au-
dacious challenged In the homestretch.
When 'let down" Dominique sped for
ward and won easily by length and a
half and acted as IL he could have gone
on and travelled mile at record clip.
Audacious ran a good race and much
improved one. He didn't get away from
the barrier any too well and was COM
PEELED to run wide the entire journey.
When Strengthened out for home he
fairly flew, but he was not good enough
Tor Dominique. and had TO be content
with the second end of the purse
Naturalist, which chased Dominique
until furlong from home, finished third,
length behind Audacious- Krewer fin
ished fourth, four lengths behind Natur-
nltst but would have been closer UP II
Fator had urged him. He eased him VI,
rounding tho turn when no saw that his
stable mate was winning.
In the next race Hlldreth and Harry
70
a double when their two-year-old
Little Chief led home q small field.
Like Dominique he went away flying
and into big lead In the first furlong.
Harry Payne Whitneys Zealot chased
after him and entering the homestretch
reached his heels, but Little Chief had
plenty of speed in reserve and when
Fator shook him UP he bounded away
and won galloping by length and a
half.
Jack Joyner saddled two winners for
George d. Widener. Roster Girl In the
first and Last Straw In the second. Both
of these Allies were much the best and
won in a canter. Roster Girl was out
run in the early part, but came with a
rattle In the final furiong and finished
two lengths in front of William Far
nuns Radical. Witcnwork was thru.
Last Straw went to the races In much
better shape than In her previous starts
She had stood training well and showed
no signs Of lameness in any of her re-
cent workouts. She also seemed eager
to race and when the barrier went UP
she stepped under It on her toes. Runa-
trix went with her for q. quarter Of a
mile, but then quit and the Widener flly
went on by herself and galloped the re-
rnainder of the way. to win by four
lengths. Clifford A. Cochran's Cimarron
was second and Maiden's Ballet third.
Buddy Ensor IS IN more trouble. He
was on his bad behavior yesterday and
the stewards suspended him for the re-
mainder OF the meeting. Richard L.
Wilson, hts employer. was dissatisfied
at the way he conducted himself and
threatened to break his contract.
Commander J. X. L. Ross's coIors VIII
not be seen OH the New York tracks this
season. He Is going to sell most of his
stock and race about fifteen on tho Ca
madam circuit. Henry McDanieis VIII
be in charge OF the entire string.
