EMPIRE CITY RACE. TRACK.
July 2s.-The Triumphant Handi-
cap, the feature race this after
noon, was won by Tufter. Whisk
was served up as the hot goods
and even money was considered
money from home" against him.
A the race was run-tha. Is, up
to the stretch-whisk looked the
part He had led all the way. with
Tufter second and Cherry Tree
third. The latter offered little con-
tention at any stage.
When Whisk Strengthened out
for the stretch run his stride began
to shorten and before the eighth
pole was reached Tufter had moved
up and nailed him. Thereafter II
was soft for Tufter. whisk had
his legs full beating Cherry Tree
for the place. There were but three
starters.
In a driving finish. in which only
the judges could tell which won.
Pud won the opening race, a dash
OF 1ve furlongs. with Irish Pat
second and Noon Glide third
These three finished only noses
apart The winner and the third
horse were coupled and paid to !.
Jyntee. favorite in the second. the
Venus Purse. faltered in the final
sixteenth. when Wayward Lady ran
good alongside and finally lost a
race She looked to hav won by a
nose. wayward Lady came from be-
hind Jyntee and Catherine Marrone
in the stretch with enough speed to
beat the pair Of them. Catherine
Marrone closed up like a Jackknife
after racing fast with Jyntee to the
stretch. Bobbed Hair came like a
streak In the final eighth and got
the show money.
Thornhedge. one of slim" Moore's
horses who becomes endowed with
speed at rare intervals came home
galloping in the third at a mile
and a quarter Lord Herbrt was
four lengths behind him and Nor
NAL was third. This was the hot
thing of the race. but got an
atrocious ride from Parke all the
way. Orderly and Halu ran in front
to the stretch, where the latter quit.
Then Halu looked as II he was COM
ing on to win. only to get an attack
of the slow sin the last ighth.
Thornhedge then moved out of the
bunch and the rest was easy. Lord
Herbert, too. went on gamely, while
the favorite. Normal. coming when
too late. was third.
Pibroch, the favorite in the fifth,
a claiming affair for nonwinners of
the meeting. won under a confident
ride by Tryon. He came around the
early pace of King Albert at the
head of the stretch and just made
it in the drive. He beat King Albert
a head. and Henry G. was a neck
back.
