unlucky streak and he will be himself
again.
Then Mr.. Whitney began heaping
praise on his colt. but he made it plain
that he didn't believe he was what you
might call great colt Hes sprinter.
lie comes from family of sprinters.
All Of his relatives, including Flags and
Panoply, were only sprinters. and be-
lieve that Ia all he is. I guess he
can run mile with any horse and beat
pretty near all of them at three quar-
ters. but it is a question IL he can go
on and beat a real good horse at a mile
and quarter"
Mr.. Rowe was jubilant over the vic
tory, but he said it wasn't surprise to
him. Whiskaway always was an ex-
ceptionally fast colt in his opinion and
would have won several stakes II he
hadn't gone wrong. He was knocked
against the fence in the Saratoga Special
and pulled UP so lame 1t was necessary
to throw him out of training for the
remainder Of the year.
Morvich's Owner Shocked.
Mr.. Block was shocked at the defeat
of his pet but took 1t like good sport.
After cooling" out he went In quest Of
Mr.. Whitney and his trainer and con-
graduated them on having such a speed
marvel.
While Morvich's race was good Snob
lis was bad. He didn't show anything.
He didn't look like the colt which ran
so remarkably we'll recently. He Is
either a fiivver or has lost all of his
great form since he changed trainers. A
host of horsemen still believe he will
come around and do the things he threat
ened to do early in the season.
1t was Morvich's first appearance In a
race in the East and his second Of the
year, and II was to see him run that
thousands made the journey to the track.
He has been public idol, and was con-
sidered by many to be another Man O.
War. He had won twelve races and
nearly 100000. Yesterday was his
thirteenth race and his hoodoo day.
The Hudson Stakes, for two-year- olds,
brought together thirteen fine looking
and highly bred juveniles. When being
groomed for the race they made a pic
ture of the finest looking lot of young
sters seen together in several years.
Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Sunference. q son
of Sun Briar out of Conference, was the
winner. He led all the way and won by
neck from Mrs. Payne Whitney's
Cherry Pie. John Z. Madden's Bud
Larner was third.
Sunference Is an exceptionally fas.
colt and before racing at Belmont Park
he was considered sure winner. But
he swerved all over the chute at Bel
mont Park and was beaten off on each
occasion. Because of those defeats he
lost all OF his friends and yesterday he
was at the long odds OF 30 to /. johnson.
who had the leg UP on him, got him
away from the barrier on his toes and
into a clear lead before the elbow was
reached. Around 1t Sunfcrence came at
the head of the pack. At the final fur
long pole he seemed like an easy win
ner. but Mrs. Whitney's colt came with a
terrific rush In the last sixteenth of a
mile and. gaining ground with every
bound, reached Sunference's throatlatch
at the judges.
Cherry Pie Comes Fast.
Cherry Pie would have won in a few
more jumps. Bud Lerner also made UP
lot of ground in the final furiong.
Harry f. Sinclair's Zev had no excuse.
He was we'll forward all the way, but
faItered In the final test.
j. S. Cosden's Martingale never had
a. chance OF showing what he could do.
From eighth position at the post he was
crowded back in the first rush for DO
sItion, and then shut off several times.
In the final run II seemed as IL he were
inclined to bear In toward the rail.
When Hummer realized that he had no
chance of winning any part OF the purse
he eased him UP. He will do lots better
later on.
