New-York tribune., 1922-10-12

! finished heads apart. This was real,
! old-fashionea blanket finish. This
was one of the best betting races OF
the day as the first three named, as
well as Service Star, were all heavily
supported. The favorite, Service Star,
quit badly after showing speed for
SIX furlongs. As was expected, Sea
Mint, superior mudder, beat the
field to the first turn and cut out such
fast pace that he opened gap ct
tour or five lengths in the back
stretch. Service Star wiltered after
three quarters of mile and dropp sd
PACK while Thornhedee and Lord Her.
bert took up the chase. Rounding the
far turn Thornhedge and Lord Herbert
were running nose to nose and stead
lily closing ground on Sea Mint. The
early pacemaker found the mile and
furlong too far for him but he held
gamely under punishment and made
of 1t real close finish.
One of the very greatest upsets IF
the meeting closed out the days ac-
tIvitIes. This was six furlong dash
ior maiden two-year-old fillies. w. r.
Goes Pow Wow was the hottest tip of
the year from railbirds, paddock
sharps and form students. 1t seemed
everybody unlimbered on this one
which was knocked down from 2 to
to to 3. Such q flood of money was
thrown in that many of the oralists
threw up their hands before post time.
killing Goes Wrong
AS usually happens, the proposed
ss,Lliiing went entirely wrong. Willie
Snieids was cunning on his own ac-
count with Contour, of the Willis
Sharpe Kilmer stable. When it came
to running, Contour simply laughed at
Pow Wow. AL Johnson, who had been
imported from Maryland for tAe Shields
melon cutting, broke Contour away
from the barrier with his usual non
chalance and quickly opened lead that
he never surrendered. Pow Wow. a
slow starter. raced up on the outside
quickly enough for Fairbrother to place
him before the run around the turn
But Pow Wow never was able to
threaten the pacemaker. The Coe filly
did get within half length of the
leader making the home turn, but it
was case of Johnson easing up to
straighten his mount for the run home
For, once straight, he quickly began
to draw away from Pow Wow, even
though Fairbrother went to the whip.
The Kilmera Ally won in a romp by
three lengths
Only two favorites were returned
winners. Sande won almost as he
pleased with Supercargo, the choice of
the second race, ut mile and six
| teenth, with The Hottentot second and
| Philosopher third. Guelph, backed
| from to to s to 2, was poorly ridden
and just failed to get in the money
after rushing up on the rail.
| King Albert won from field Of four
platers in the fifth trial at mile and
a sixteenth. He was much the best,
but had to be hustled by Jelley right
at the end, as Bell charged down with
Vendor through the stretch and made
up lot of ground. The well-backed
Quesada found the route too far and
tailed off to nothing after three-quar-
ters Of mile.
| Laverne Fator won his first race of a
coon's age when he brought home
Shaffer in front of seven other cheap
platers in the three quarters dash that
introduced the entertainment. Every
one was looking out the window, it
seems, when John Shaughnessy's steed
| spread this field in the mud. Shaffer
receded in the betting from to / to
5 to l. Good Time hung on Just long
enough to nose Evil out of place.
