Larry Lyke, made the performance OF

since he was sold at Saratoga for

The word galtoped is used advisedly.

Then, at cluck from Lyke, Tryster
bounded away again full of running as
he was at the start, and as he flashed
past the judges he was fairly tugging

Boots, five-year-old, carried only
ilo pounds the day he established the

Scratches Cut Down Field
Aside from the brilliant perform
ance of Tryster the Scarsdale proved
rather disappointing feature for the
1000 that journeyed to Yonkers to see
a real race. Tryster was coupled with
the Greentree Stables Exodus, and
when Sennings Park, Brainstorm and
motion were scratched it appeared as
if the contention had been blotted out.
IL mattered little that the Rancocas
Stable added Circus. None took him
very seriously. 1t was felt he was in
for good work and his price kited
from 5 to 2 to 8 to /. Hephaistos, the
rank, outsider, furnished the real sur
prise by giving Tryster some Show of
an argument. The others were all
badly beaten off. But many went to
the track in the expectation of a re-
newal of the feud between Sennings
Park and Brainstorm and in this they
were greatly disappointed. !.
