ysssevdsy's racing at the Jamaica
rack. This popular trainer of the
,,uincv Stable saddied no less than
.sres winners of rain-fiecked day,

.t;t;ous-Friday, the 18th.
Net only did Sunny Jim" saddle
Ybrse winners. but he saddied the
SINNER OF the feature race and such

II was old Elmendorf that put the
ou5ncy Stable and sunny Jim" on
he high road 10 fame and prosperity
for the day. He just buck-jumped
same q winner In the mile and a six
teenth second trial. But there was
little astonishing in that. He doped
d do the trick. Teddy R. was differ
snt proposition. He was the most i'm
proved horse you can imagine over
two-year-old form, and he may have
something serious to say in this years
shree-year-oid stakes-especial on
rainy or muddy days.
Sister Flo Graduates
But for the last race was reserved
the real triumph Of Sunny jim" This
was dash of six furlongs for maiden
three-year-olds. The Quincy hope was
Sister Flo, aud when she crossed the
finish iine eight lengths or more ahead
Of the nearest competitor it seemed,
ike Tennyson's brook, that she might
have @aown" on forever. She beat out
Larry Waterbury's Diomedes, which
had been backed from to to Is to S,
and she left j. 81. Rossiter's Scotland
Yet, the favorite, away back nowhere.
As to Teddy R., in the Arizona Han
dicsp, be wasn't given a tumble by any
save mis- own stable and its irnme-
date connections and friends. Stu
dents Of form could see nothing but
Fort Churchill and Ralco.
Raico had plenty of early speed, and
FOX time threatened to spread-eagle
his field. But Joe Mooney, the Quincy
Stable jockey, rated Teddy R. off the
early pace and allowed Ralco and Fort
Churchill TO race themselves into the
ground.
When the pair swung wide at the
stretch turn Mooney SKINNED the rail
with Teddy r., and in a rush through
the stretch simply lost the other two.
Fort Churchill seemed TO have the
place cinched until he hung fifty yards
from the goal.
Elmendorf, in the second race, hung
on much better than on his last start,
Usually he is rail runner and a front
runner. Going up the backstretch tho
old horse seemed strictly out of it, but
Mooney was patient and worked up
gradually.
Elnendorf Comes Fast
At the beginning Of the far turn he
let his mount down in g chase for
Aandalay, which had opened up q lead
Of six lengths. Elmendorf raced
around Mandalay coming into the
stretch and won in 81 common canter.
9hevalier, which stuck closely to Man
dalay all the way, was never seriously
threatened for the show money.
When the Maryland Racing Com
mission ruled Phil T. Chinn OF the
tracks under It's jurisdiction q short
time ago it granted him permission to
sell his thoroughbrets and guaranteed
inmunity to the horses in case said
sales were bona fde. The sales were
conducted in the padoch at Jamaica
iast Monday afternoon and brought
sstonishingly fine prices.
The Jockey Club, at a meeting of it's
stewards last night, testified these
sales and referred them back to the
Maryland State Racing Commission
