Black Colt Easily Beats
Nalor, Top-Heavy Choice,
I'm Aqueduct Feature

, The Islip Stables black colt Ralco
. won the Myrtle Selling Stakes, the
feature of a real good card at Aque-
| duet, yesterday, defeating the Rancocas
Stables Valor, the topheavy favorite,
,, in hard drive by length. The
Quincy Stables Ballet Dancer II was a
distant third.
The victory was costly one for the
Islip Stable, for the moment the colt
was put up at auction Sam Hildreth,
trainer of Valor, started hiking his en-
tered price OF $4,000 until he had car
ried it to $4,000, at which figure the
owner let him go. With q smile of
satisfaction on his face Hildreth in
structed one of his help to lead the
useful platter over to the Rancocas
barn.
The result of the race was big sur
prise to the large gathering which at
tended the races yesterday. Valor was
looked upon as a moral certainty, but
he was not there" when the pinch
came. Sande got him away to good
start and led the pack into the stretch,
with Ralco about two lengths in the
rear.
An eighth of mile from home valor
began to hang out distress signals,
while Ralco was laundering along,
gradually cutting down the open space
between him and the leader. At the
sixteenth mark Ralco had Valor head
ed, and in a furious drive went over
the line length to the good. Ballet
Dancer II was six lengths back.
Bullman Is Injured
Little S. Bullman, son of the famous
Johnny Bullman, star jockey of for
mer years, had narrow escape from
serious injury after the finish of the
third race. Bullman had the mount on
the favorite, Jyntce, which finished Sec
ond, and while pulling up on the pad
dock turn the mare SHE'D, unseating
the little fellow. Before he could roll
clear one of Jyntee's hoofs struck him
in the head, inflicting a deep cut in
his scalp. The track physician put
three stitches in the wound and sent
the boy home. Bullman is by far the
best apprentice rider in this section of
the country, and his temporary loss will
be keenly felt by the trainers who
sought his services.
The opening race, selling affair for
two-year-old fillies, over the five fur
long route, resulted in a victory for
the Rancocas Stables Rose Brigade.
the we'll supported favorite. Dave
Gideons Lady Delhi was second, and
r. t. Wilson jr.'s Kirtle took the short
end Of the purse. Rose Brigade took
the lead after making the bend at the
head of the stretch and won, ridden
out, by length and a half. Lady
Delhi beat Kirtle three lengths for the
place.
Only three starters went to the post
IN the second, q one mile dash for
three-year-olds. Sporting Blood, the
prohibitive favorite won, but not until
he had the time of his life shaking
off Dimmesdale. The latter set a
killing pace all the way and never gave
up until he was forced to retire about
fifty yards from the wire. Faunus
finished third, ten lengths back of
Dimmesdale.
Miss Petite Shows Way
The Quincy Stable furnished the
winner of the third with the diminu-
tive Miss Petite. Mooney rated the
little filly behind Actress until half
way down the stretch, where he sent
her to the front to win all out by
a length and half. Jyntee, badly out
run in the early stages, closed with a
rush through the final furlong, and
Just got up in time to take the place
money away from Actress.
Thunderclap made show of the
three others he met in~the fifth. Garry
ing 124 pounds, he raced Copper
Demon into the ground in the first
five furlongs, and then came on and
won in common gallop by eight
lengths Copper Demon remained in
second place to the end, beating
Elected by four lengths.
Court View, showing a remarkable
improvement over his last effort,
breezed home the easiest kind Of a
winner in the final event, a ono-mile
scramble for maidens three years old
and upward. Rep made the running
to the. Anal furlong, where Court View
passed him and went past the post
under wraps, four lengths in front of
the. fast coming Sportiboy. Rep quit
badly in the drive and was beaten
three lengths for the place.
