sciars l bobbed up and down on the
sisss colt Shamrock, which performed

r,,ersembered by the sharpies. Cyclops
asneed down the homestretch two
isnrths ahead of Shamrock and it
ioofsd like no race at all. McAtee
made no effort to ride his mount out.
Their came the rush of Shamrock
Buddy Ensor had the leg up and, going
% tie outside he fairly lifted the Rock
view colt, into the contention. With
il three strides Shamrock was bobbing
its head alongside Cyclops's saddle, in
another jump Ensor was within reach
iug distance of, McAtee, and then the
latter came 20 life.

A Grand Finish
McAtee went to the whip with a
y.pgeance. His mount had cooled off
onawhat and required frantic drive.
Sill Shamrock came on, and with about
twenty-five yards to go the pair were
sadlocked in beautiful neck and
nsek finish. Cyclops, on the inside,
vas iucky to get the nod as they swept
under the wire. 1t was grand finish,
mrticularly for those who backed the
Carr colt at such odds at to 5.
The real upset Of the afternoon was
tAs miserable performance of the
sisisra Stables smart filly, Miss Star.
Akhoush the filly was in at even
weights with Cyclops many believed
shat she would give the favorite
great battle and not few were of the
opinion that Miss Star would win.
Jockey Taplin got into two jams with
the second choice during the early run
Ming but even after getting clear

Miss star showed absolutely no dis
position to run.

!. D Browns Hephaistos, sturdy son
II Vulcan, romped to victory here,
md in doing so stamped himself as
ane Of the few "ironA horses" of the
American turf.
Hephaistos can take more punish
nsnt than six-day bike rider ever
dreamed of. This three-year-old had
hard race last Saturday, and only on
Aenday drove Tryster to a new track
record over the mile route. These con-
otons, coupled with the fact that he
faced such good ones as Sleiveconard
and Emotion, would have been enough
TO scare the talent off, but for the fact
that the stable announced in no uncer-
tain way that Hephaistos would win
the race
The vulcain colt was installed IA
yorite at 9 to 10, with Emotion the II
70 s second choice. Sleiveconard, with
Taplin up, was the neglected outsider.
Rates Hephaistos Perfectly
Jockey Sande rated Hephaistos per-
fectly, letting Taplin carry him along
over the rough spots. Emotion trailed
