gave away big Jumps OF weight to Royce
Roofs. DIR. Joe and Dimmesdale and beat
them In galop. Although his opponents
were not as good as Audacious or Mad
Halter or some of the other horses he
neat in the Empire City Handicap, his
race yesterday was just as impressive.
II showed that he can carry weight
and that he has plenty of courage as
well as speed ana stamina
After he galloped home half a dozen
lengths ahead of Royce Roofs. veteran
horsemen said that only Harry Payne
Whitneys John p. Grier stood between
him and the championship. He is fifty
pounds better than he WAS last year, and
he can carry weight, and carry his great
flight Of speed over long route.
The Morrisania Handicap was the
name of the race he won yesterday. it
was at one mile and a sixteenth, and
from beginning TO end of the journey he
was under restraint. Charley Miller.
who has developed into first class
jockey, had the leg up, and got him away
well. Then he allowed him to go to the
front and step along at a fast but steady
pace.
In the middle of the back stretch
r. r. Wilson's Dimmesdale made
bid for the lead. and stuck his head In
front, but he remained In command for
only a few jumps. Rounding the bend
Miller gave Yellow Hand a little more
rein and the Stoneham horse bounded to
the front and quickly opened up gap
Of four lengths. From then to the end
Miller held him under a stout pull, and
he sped past the judges fighting for his
head
Royce Roofs Makes n Bid.
When Dimmesdale lost command he
quit badly and Royce Roofs went past
him and after the leader, but the best
he could do was TO finish second. three
lengths ahead of DR.. Joe.
Yellow Hands time for the race was
1:45 AS, real good considering the easy
way he won.
Jack Goldsborough. the veteran
trainer who developed Roamer, says
Yellow Hand Is one of the best horses
he ever trained and would not be sur
prised II he developed into as good a
horse as was the little gelding. There
Is every reason why Yellow Hand should
be n good race horse. There Is nothing
finer in the English Stud book than his
blood lines. His sire. Rosendale. is
son OF st. Frusquin, and this horses
dam was Menda, by Gallinule.
That the racing authorities are hot
on the trail of horsemen who violate the
selling race rule was shown yesterday.
when the following decision was handed
down:
THE claim of Old Dad on Saturday by
Henry Kearney was disalloyed on the
ground of collision and Henry kearney
and George Morgan denied the priv
ileges of the track and the case referred
to the stewards Of the Jockey Club Tor
further action
Old Dad was claimed from J. S. Cos
den a few weeks ago by c. koehler'
whose trainer Is d. Kearney. On Sat-
urday Old Dad ran like a stake horse
and after beating his opponents in
gallon by a dozen lengths Henry
Kearney, a brother of the trainer. went
into the claiming office and took the
horse for s2,i20.
Rose Brigade carried the Rancocss
stables colors to victory In the opening
event. She sped TO the front as soon as
the barrier went up and was never
headed. Carnencita finished second and
witchwork third. Carmencita ran a
good race and with better luck probably
would have won. She got off none too
well and ran in the middle OF the track
all the way. losing at least a dozen
lengths.
When the horses returned to the scales
Sam Lewis was awaiting them. When
Rose Brigade was offered for auction he
bid her up from $4,000 10 $4,000. This
was not enough. sam Hildreth retained
her for the Rancocas Stable with an ad-
ditional SIS bid.
