BY HENRY ". KING.

Tryster came back to the races after
vacation of several months at the
Empire City track yesterday afternoon
and ran a bangup race. The four
year-old black son of Peter Pan car
ried the Westmont Stables silks for
the first time and brought them home
handy victor in the Scarsdale Handi-
cap. He won by a length with Frank
Payne Whitney's Exodus third.
Tryster didn't win easily as he was
expected to. Hephaistos. with the light
impost Of 90 pounds. displayed a great
burst Of speed and carried it all the
way through the one mile journey. He
forced Tryster to be ridden out to win.
\ Tryster carried 120 pounds and covered
the one mile route in :3s 1-5. two
ffths of a second faster than the track
record established by Boots In 1915.
Lyke rode Tryster. and rode like a
Master. He got the black colt away
cell and rushed him to the front before
10 first furlong had been covered. Then
steadied him and allowed him to step
Long at fast pace under slight re-
straint. While he was setting pace
Exodus and Hephaistos ran together as
a team at his heels.
Rounding the bend into the home
stretch Hephaistos went past Exodus
and challenged the leader. He reached
Tryster's saddle girths, but that was the
best he could do. Lyke had reserved
- A.
test and when Strengthened out In the
homestretch he gave him his head. The
son of Peter Pan began to draw away.
but Hephaistos showed more stamina
than was expected and In the final fur
long Lyke was compelled to hand ride
Tryster to keep him in front.
Cirrus Pulls UP LimpinG.
Tryster has been ready to run for
more than a fortnight but Scott Harlan,
alis trainer waited for mile race for
him. That distance is the colts forte
and there are few horses in training
that can beat him over it. Exodus ran
4 good race but he was compelled to
AXE the third end Of the purse three
ngths behind Hephaistos Harry f.
nclairs Cirrus was added to the stake,
I 1T he showed little speed and came
limping home as If he had broken down.
He pulled up lame and returned to his
barn very sore. His legs seemed all
right His trouble seems to be with his
feet.
Man O. Wars full sister. Mirabelle,
made her debut in the final race and
was badly beaten. Her defeat was a
Keen blow to August Belmont. her owner.
He didn't want the Ally beaten and
told George Odom, his trainer. not to
start her until he believed she would win.
The filly had displayed great bursts OF
speed in her trials and ran so impress
slvely that all horsemen proclaimed her
a real good filly. She looks like real
good horse. She has fine conformation
and In color resembled her illustrious
brother, Man O. War. She Is a light
chestnut.
The race proved nothing. Mirabelle
seemed frightened during the race and
climbed most of the way. She didn't
extend herself at any stage Of the jour-
ney and finished sixth. dozen lengths
behind James Buffers Mutiny. which
won eased up. The race Is likely to i'm
prove Mirabelle. Next time she starts
she probably won't run so green and
when she levels down to her best 1t will
take a Juvenile of the first class to beat
her
Georgia at His Best.
Georgie has come back to the form he
used to display when Arnold Rothstein
owned him. In the Lenox Stakes he
beat a good field. including Charles A..
Stoneham's Flannel Shirt, In gallop.
He met with repeated interference during
the first half mile but Sande worked
Kim into a nice position behind June
Grass and Flannel Shirt In the run up
the backstretch. While rounding the
turn Sande sent him after the leaders.
He caught the Stoneham colt in few
strides and then sped after June Grass.
When Strengthened out for home George
displayed a great burst Of speed. went to
the front in few strides and won gal
looping by four lengths. June Grass
faltered badly at the final furlong pole
and Modo came along and beat him
home for the second end of the purse.
Flannel Shirt had worked extremely
well for the race and Jack Golsborough
thought he would win easily But he
ran as IL he were short. When Georgie
challenged him he stopped as IL shot.
Bill Clancey's awkward gated HULA
baloo added another victory to his list
when he galloped home an easy winner
