Joseph Es Widener's homebrcd colt
Runantell proved again yesterday that
he is real high class colt. lie won
the Ardsley Handicap at the Empire City
track In impressive style. He carried
118 pounds, shook off opponent after OPP
ponent and without having a breathing
spell fought on gamely and won by
length. Lawrence Waterbury's Galant-
man was second and Harry Il. Sim
Glars renowned Kai-Sang third.
The Ardsley was the feature. 1t was
over the short six furlong course and
was worth moro than $4,000. For it
seventy-five royalty bred youngsters
were nominated, bu. only five, Runan-
tell, Galantman, Kai-Sang, Mrs. Payne
Whitneys Black Rascal and Morton L..
Schwartz's Toll, accepted the bugle call.
Kai-Sang was the top weight with 130
He was giving twelve pounds to Runan-
tell and more than that to the others
This handicap and the fact that Runan-
tell beat him decisively last week Slidnt
prevent a majority of racegoers from
wagering on him. They belittled Run
antell's best races and figured that kai-
Sang's last race would make hlms I'M
prove many pounds and place him where
he was in the spring-second only to
Morvich-in the battle for juvenile
honors.
As a result Kai-Sang was at even
money, while Runantell was as good as
to 2.
When It came to racing Kai-Sang ran
much below his best form. He had
little Speed but finished with a rush.
Runantell showed the best race OF MS
career. He didn't break any too well.
but Turner rushed him along and
matched his spesd against the speedy
but faint hearted Black Rascal The
Widener colt made Black Rascal Quit at
the end of a quarter of mile, and then
went after Galantman. the fast son OF
Superman, which finished second in the
Futurity. Galantman had an of his
great speed and stepped along at a ter
rifle pace, but Runantell caught him en-
tering the homestretch and hung with
him until furlong from home. Then
Galantman began to hang and Runan-
tell went on about his business, ana
seemed like an easy winner.
But his long run at his best speed be-
gan to sap his strength. and in the
final sixteenth he showed signs of ia
tigue and began to slow up. AS he
faltered Galantman came on again and
kai-Sang came with a great rush.
Turner felt his mount weakening and
put up one OF his best finishes and 1t
had the desired effect. AS Runantell
was almost touching his tail and Kali
Sang. running stronger than any horse
in the race. was at Galantpan's heels.
Runantell covered the distanc, in the
good time of 1:09 4-5.
Mr.. Widener was not at the track
10 see his colt win. He was in Ken
lucky but Immediately after the race
Tom Welsh. his trainer, telegraphed
him about the victory. The colt is the
pride Of the Widener stable. He is by
Broomstick out of Mr. Widener's mare
Zoola. and is half brother to Pick
wick and Pilgrim.
Mrs. Wilfrid Viau's exceptionally fast
filly Ten Lee won the Fashion Hands,
cap, the secondary feature. The short
six furlong course suited her exactly
and she took the track soon after the
barrier went UP and stepped along in
front all the way. She was stopping
fast in the last seventy yards. but Clar-
ence Hummer kept her in front long
enough to win by length. Arrow of
