Among Those TO Come
Through at Aqueduct

William Daniels two-year-old colt
DR.. T. s Dabney captured the Canar-
sic Selling Stakes, the chief fixture OF
the card at Aqueduct yesterday, in a
rattling finish from Mrs. T. O. Web
ber's Runnyol and James Butler $
Picnic. Dabney won by short head,
with Runnyol only half a length in
front of Picnic. Dr. Dabney was the
tip of the race and only got home
through frankie Keogh's rousing
finish.
Eleven fairly good youngsters faced
the barrier in this event, but they
were an unruly lot and Starter Cas-
sidy had lots of trouble getting them
in line. He finally lifted the gate to
good break and then ensued mad
rush for front positions. Brilliant
Ray was the first to show, closely fol-
lowed by DR.. Dabney, with Picnic and
Sailing Along right at his throat.
There was little change in positions
until the riders settled down for the
final battle through the last furlong
Brilliant Ray had enough at this point
and Keogh sent DR.. Dabney to the
front. A hundred yards from the
finish it looked as though Keoghs
mount was ready to quit, but the boy
urged him on with whip and spur and
he finally lasted just long enough to
win by the shortest of heads from
Runnyol, who came down on the out
side. Picnic held on with wonderful
gameness and was only beaten in the
last few strides by the first two.
Hold Up Spills Dope
The first race resulted in big up
set for the public. Fantoche IS
looked upon as the probable winner,
but at no time during the running was
he ever a contender. Bud Fishers
Hold Up went to the front as soon
as the gate went up and never re-
linquiished the lead, winning by two
lengths from Due de Morny, which
beat The Enquirer half length for
the place. Fantoche trailed the field
from start to finish.
The Redstone Stables old gelding
George, galloped off with the second.
St. Michael made the pace for him up
to the eighth pole, where Hummer sent
his mount to the front to win, hard
held, by two lengths ST. MichaeE had
no trouble beating Edwina for the
place.
A real melon was cut when Clifford
A. Cochrans Cimarron led the field
home in the third. She was nicely
rated along until well in the stretch,
ClSu GoOh COluIlidHu anu pdSSSu LHe
judges three lengths in front of Ma
vourneen. The latter made all the
early running, but tired in the last
furlong and was all out to beat Lady
Gertrude length for the place.
Another thrilling finish was fur
nished by Royce Roofs and Thunder
storm in the fifth. These two were al
most equal favorites and fought it out
all through the stretch, Royce Roofs
getting the verdict by a neck. Court
ship was third, ten lengths back
Leghorn Wins in Storm
The closing event was run accom-
panied by flashes of lightning, crashes
of thunder and downpour of rain.
The field came down the long stretch a
blurred mass, and it was not until they
had reached the last eighth pole that
the colors could be distinguished. Then
it was seen that the favorite, Leghorn,
was in front, and she stayed there to
the end. Balance, the second choice,
finished second and Sherando third.
The controversy over the return of
the money paid for Playfellow will be
fought out in court. Sam Hildreth
who, acting for Harry Sinclair, paid
$115,000 for the colt, and now wants
his money back, claiming the colt was
unsound when he purchased him, SAID
