Harry Sinclair had gala day at
the Jamaica track yesterday after
noon. Carrying his new Colors, white
and green collar and cuffs, three OF
his horses-Timbrel, Krewer and Mad
Hatter-sped past the judges in front
The performance OF each was good
but that of Mad Halter was remark
able for this time of the year. Carry
ing 124 pounds, he beat Exterminator
Yellow Hand. Sennings Park and
Romany in a gallop and established
a new track record for a mile and a
sixteenth. He ran the distance in LAS,
one fifth OF second behind the old
figures held jointly by Boniface and
sennings Park.
To witness the sport one of the largest
crowds that ever visited the little track
was present. The grand stand and club
house were packed and thousands stood
on the lawns 1t was an enthusiastic
crowd, too, one that gave vent to Its
feelings with thunderous cheers when
their favorites were speeding through
the honest stretch.
Mad Hatter's victory came In the
Kings County Handicap. the fourth
event on the programme. and because
his two stablemates, Timbrel and Krew-
er, had won their races majority OF
the crowd backed him and sent him to
the post the favorite at to 5. He won
the event because he was the best horse
at the weights, but with better ride
Exterminator would have been closer to
him at the finish and might have pressed
MIN hard for the long end OF the $4,000
purse. Twice during the running Haynes
took the old gelding back and each time
lost several lengths He broke him with
bia field, but before the first turn was
.eached he took him back and had him
under a choking pull running on Mad
EATERS heels. In the backstretch he
was caught in a pocket and compelled
TO pull up and go to the outside.
Fator Riding An Fine Form.
Fator is riding like he rode two years
ago He is alert at the barrier and is
making few mistakes during a race. He
sent Mad Halter away flying and hus-
tied him to the front in the first furlong.
Then he took nice snug hold on him
and allowed the colt to run along at his
best Romany followed him for short
distance. In the backstretch yellow
Hand moved into second place and Ex-
terminator, which was running on the
rail. was shut off. Just before the bend
was reached Haynes took back and
went to the outside. In the meanwhile
Mad Halter had increased his lead to
half a dozen lengths and Yellow Hand
was three lengths In front of Exter-
minator.
Entering the homestretch Exterminator
challenged. He displayed a great burst
Of speed and flew past yellow Hand and
gained on the leader. But Mad Halter
was too far in front and Fator didn't
have to move on him to win by four
lengths. Yellow Hand finished In third
place, three lengths behind Extermina-
tor. Sennings Park and Romany were
beaten off.
Mad Halter had worked mile and a
quarter at Rancocas Farm in 2:OS In
preparation for the race.
Krewer's success came in the Rich
mond Handicap at five and a half fur
longs and 1t came as a surprise to S. c.
Hildreth. his trainer, as well as almost
all racegoers present. He was matched
against the fastest horses in training
and 1t was believed the distance was too
short for him. Among the starters was
Mrs. Payne Whitney's aged gelding Peter
Piper The distance suited this faint
hearted whirlwind and he was consid-
cred sure winner. And he started off
as II he were going to make a runaway
race of il. In the first furlong he opened
up n gap OF two lengths and doubled this
distance in the next eighth.
Gets steadyfnR Ride.
While he was killing off Knobbie and
Fort Churchill. Krewer was stepping
along in fourth place under steadying
ride by Fator. Just before entering the
stretch Samuel Riddles Dream of the
Valley. which left the barrier in a
tangle. made a bid for the 1ead and
loomed up like a contender. but he ran
wide IN the stretch and lost any chance
ne might have had of gaining a part OF
the purse. While the Riddle colt was
making this bid Butts Fairbrother was
nursing along Peter Piper. This veteran
jockey knew his mount well. He knew
he had a tremendous burst Of speed. but
he knew just as well that he was a rank
auitter and that five and n half furlongs
was his limit. A sixteenth OF a mile
from home Mrs. Whitney's horse looked
like the winner. But he had run as far
az ne wanted to and quit And when he
quit he stopped to walk, and Krewer
which was running strong, cut down his
lead with every bound and got up in
time 10 beat him home by half a length
Five lengths further back Dry Moon
finished third, q nose ahead OF Fort
Churchill.
Tlmbrel. the first Sinclair winner, IA
y racy looking two-year-old by Zeus--
Black Swan. He raced In third position
while Miles S. and Runnyol ran them
selves dizzy. Then he came on and won
easily by three lengths.
