up to win by three lengths.
The West came in for another victory
In the fifth race when I. j. Pendergast's s
Parader, a Whiskbroom gelding, beat
home a good field over the mile route.
He won because Of an excellent ride by
Jockey Smith, who had the mount, and
careless one by Schuttinger, who had
the leg up on w. Edward Sims's John
Paul Jones.
Smiths Ride Won.
Smith did everything, great jockey
should do. He laid off the pace while
John Paul Jones and Mrs. Wilfrid viau's
Firm Friend raced themselves dizzy.
Then he skinned the rail entering the
homestretch anod when John Paul zones
went wide after racing Firm Friend into
submission. Parader saved several
lengths. This put him on equal terms
with John Paul Jones, and together the
pair raced as a team to the Judges. In
the final sixteenth Smith outrode Schut-
finger and landed the Western repre-
sentative home the victor by a head.
Rouleau. another veteran horse, belong
ing to Montford Jones. took the third
end OF the purse.
Sam Hildreth pulled a monumental
bone In the final race when he declared
to win with Harry F. Sinclair's Thun-
derclap and allowed kai Sang to race
for exercise. The astute horseman be-
lievcd Thunderclap was good enough to
win. but he made the mistake OF over
looking Mrs. Payne Whitney's Exodus
and lost the purse and a large wager. for
Exodus beat Thunderclap on the post by
n head. Only four horses ran--Thun-
derclap, Kai Sang, Exodus and ]. 5
Cosden's big Heart. The Sinclair pair
were considered invincible and were al
the short odds OF to 3. y But even this
price seemed big to Mr.. Hildrcth and
his friends and they bet on them heav-
ily. Mr.. Whitney. Lawrence Waterbury
and their friends had faith In Exodus
and backed him to win.
Sande had the leg up on Thunderclap,
while Fator rode Kai Sang. They
broke on top and raced first and second
for nearly a sixteenth Of a mile. Then
Fator began to take Kai Sang back and
Sande began to ease up Thunderclap.
AS they were restrained Big Heart
stepped to the front and Exodus moved
mp alongside of Thunderclap. while
Fator continued to take back with Kai
Sang Once in the front Big Heart
sped along at fast pace and set
Thunderclap and Exodus n merry chase.
Fator Looks On.
Around the turn and into the home
stretch Big Heart continued to lead
by a good margin. MT still Fator re-
fused TO allow Kai Sang to run. He
seemed confident Thunderclap would
win and paid little or no attention to
what was going on ahead of him. Big
Heart had plenty of run left In him
as the final furlong pole WAS reached
and Thunderclap began to move UP
on Big Heart and seemed like the
winner, but tho> Cosden colt was not
vet beaten. Neither was Exodus. Mrs.
Whitneys gelding was running strong,
too. and seventy yards from the finish
the result was in doubt But Fator
on Kai Sang paid no attention to It.
He continued to hold his mount in
check. From there to the judges Big
Heart. Thunderclap and Exodus raced
together with not more than an inch
or two separating the three. Five
jumps from the finish Big Heart
faltored and Thunderclap stuck his
head in front and looked like the
winner. but Exodus bounded forward
and beat him home In the last jump
by head. Thunderclap was a similar
distance in front OF Big Heart.
Harry Payne Whitney suffered a keen
disappointment when his speedy geld
ing Enchantmant was practically left
at the post in the first race. lie had
worked phenomenally we'll for the race
and, coupled With Chic Vale. was CON-
sidered q sure winner Mr.. Whitney
made no secret Of the fact that he
thought Enchantmcnt would win. He
practically made public announcement
OF II at the club house. AS a result
his entry. was played heavily at even
money and to 6. Fourteen youngsters
were in the race and when they went
10 the barrier MIR. Whitney announced
IL would be no contest IL his horse
got away from the barrier well. AS
he was making this statement Mars
Cassidy sent the field on It's way and to
the surprise and disgust OF the crowd
Enchantment was not ready
Mr.. whitney was one OF the first TO
sec his horses start bad. "Enchantment
is left" he blurted out in disgust. and
turned his eyes away from the race
When the field reached the bend no
looked at his horses again and, seeing
Enchantment run over his horses, de-
clared he could not have lost with nm
even break. All who saw the contest
agree with the popular sportsman.
When Blossom Time quit Best Love
came along and In driving finish won
by half length. j. S. Cosdcn's Martin
gale was second and Mr.. whitney's sec
ond string colt, Chic Vale, third.
August Belmont started another good
colt In this race named Osprey. by Fair
l'lay out or Olympia. He ran green, but
showed keen speed In spots and finished
strong on his own courage. He is n fne
locker and, like Messenger, which fin
ishcd third In the Flash Stakes yester-
day. will bo hard to beat In his next
start. He Ia n high class colt and nroh.
