selves blind and dizzy, that Miller
finally let his mount have his head.
Yellow Hand responded like E. real
thoroughbred. Inch by inch he crept
up on the leaders just as Careful be-
gan to hang and to chuck it.. Miller
moved up on the outside, taking care
only to get far enough from the rail
to assure plenty of room. And
then he started to coast. Yellow Hand
raced up to the staggering front run
ners as it they had been tied.
From the furlong pole in it was sim
ply matter of routine. Careful had
had enough and quickly surrendered,
but Tryster hung on gamely to the
end. He was good horse yesterday
and proved it to everybody's satisfac-
ton by the gameness with which he
finished out after his heartbreaking
duel with Careful. Yellow Hand, how
ever, was pounds the best of his field
and was never extended throughout
the stretch to win from Tryster by a
good three lengths. The Whitney colt
was length in front of Mad Halter,
the favorite, at. the end.
Nancy F. Triumphs
Eleven of the smartest two-year-old
fillies in the East met in the Tomboy
Handicap at five and q half furlongs,
which was raced through the straight
chute. Frank ]. Farrell's Nancy F.
proved the winner. This topweight
filly rushed to the front shortly after
the start and made eve..y post win
ming one, though she appeared to be
firing at the end, Mary Patricia WAS
the contender throughout and beat
Prodigious half-length FOR the place.
The favorite, Montford Jones's Emo
ton, was never in the layout at any
time after breaking badly under Sande
Unlike most chute races, yesterdays
Tomboy Handicap was fairly run
and true and there was little of the
customary crowding.
The autumn season opened auspi-
ciously, as favorites rolled home in both
of the first two races. The Rancocas
Stables Thrnderclap, at to 2, beat a
field of four in the opening dash at
three-quarters of a mile. Sande laid
off Peter Piper's early pace. He moved
up fast around the turn, took the lead
entering the stretch and wen as he
pleased. Peter Piper, as usual, quit at
the end of five furlongs and surren-
dered the place to Routledge.
Joyful Has Hard Race
J. E. Widener's Joyful, another odds
on choice, did not have so easy a time
of it in winning the steeplechase. This
one, which was coupled with Vigilante,
in a field Of three, set the pace all the
way, but bobhled slightly at the next
to the last fence and had to be hard
ridden to the end to stand off the chal-
lenge of Lyle.
Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons copied the
last race, at five and half furlongs,
with Yankee Star, which beat My PLAY,
the full brother of Man o. War. The
latter ran wonderful race after be-
ing badly bumped and knocked back in
the race to the turn. Relay, coupled
with Yankee Star. finished third. The
fifth race at mile was only a breeze
for Sam Hildreth's Valor. Sande SIM
ply waited for the early pacemaker,
Knight of the Heather, to fold, then
came away in the stretch to win at
will.
The Lawrence Realization, at mile
and five furiongs, will feature to-day's
racing at Belmont Park 1t should be
soul-stirring event If adj the four
three-year-old named go to the post.
Grey Lag, Smoke Screen. Sporting
Blood and Touch Me Not are the
cligibles. The Nursery Handicap has
attracted fine field OF -year-olds,
among which the Rancocas Stables
William A. is top weight at 118 pounds.
