Horses Upset
Advance Dope
At Aqueduct
Tody Outruns Frigate In
Glen Cove Handicap; Au-
dacious Defeats George
By w. J. Macbeth

From now until the metropolitan
racing season concludes at Empire
City, some time about our first snow-
fall, students of form have decided to
throw away the dope and consult
clairvoyants for winners. Dope is q
guile and a snare. for the bangtaiIs
simply will not behave the same way
twice in succession. The two feature
races at Aqueduct yesterday afternoon
conclusively proved that fact.
In the feature, the Glen Cove Selling
Stakes, for ti,ree-year- at seven fur-
longs, with $4,000 added, Max Hirsch's
FLY fody simply romped all the way,
with the even-money favorite. the
Oneck Stables Frigate. outside the
money. Last Monday Frigate, giving
Tody three pounds, beat her more than
FIVE lengths, when Frigate ran second
to Copper Demon in mile test Yes
terday Frigate got seven pounds from
Tody, but never could keep within
gunshot
Quite as astounding was the per-
formaDce Of the Foreign Stables An
dacious in the fourth race, the Potomac
Handicap at a mile and a sixteenth.
Last Saturday Audacious, which earlier
in the year beat Man o. Wars track
six-furlong sprint to Dunboyne, Gladi-
ator, Last Straw and War Note.
On his previous start in two-horse
race with George at six and half
furlongs Audacious never could work
up a common canter and was beaten
by ten lengths or more, though George
was under restraint from start to
finish. The excuse then was given
that Audacious did not like the cuppy
ID -
tically the same condition as that at
Aqueduct yesterday. But Audacious,
stake horse, yesterday made George
look the selling platter that he IS.
Schuttinger Still Timorous
There may have been some excuse
for Frigate in the Glen Cove Selling
Stakes. The gelding was ridden by
Andy Schuttinger, who drew the posi-
ton next the rail. Andy has had
several bad falls in his time and seems
very timorous at the post, especially
in an inside position. He was of well
enough yesterday, but when the out
siders began to squeeze in toward him,
instead of going on, he took up sharply
and kept taking up until he was bad
last IN field of FIVE. Then he took
the overland all the way and never
again figured in the heat.
Squaw Man had the early foot and
soon stepped out into the lead, show
ing the way at the quarter by three
quarters Of length. knight of the
Heather was in close pursuit, with
Tody third, under a snug hold by
Marinelli. At the far turn Marinelli
made his move with Tody The pace
proved too hot for Squaw Man, which
quickly surrendered and dropped back
to last position. SO soon rs he hit the
stretch Tody opened lead of length
over knight of the Heather. The FLY
seemed to have plenty in reserve,
though Marinelli drew a needlessly
close finish, and won by only head
from Knight of the Heather. Crack
o. Dawn Was third.
The Potomac Handicap was simply
a breeze for Audacious. This stake
horse broke on top, but Hummer al
most imme dately put the brakes to
him and eased back off the pace.
Georgia then stepped out to the front,
closely pursued by the Quincy Stables
Copper Demon. Rounding the turn
Audacious was in third position, his
mouth sawed open and his neck bowed.
Hummer took no chances of getting
into close quarters. He took wide
turn and Strengthened out for the run
home in the middle of the track, where
the footing was fastest. Once he called
On his mount the race was over. Au-
dacious was simply buck Jumping ct
the end, but finished two lengths ahead
