With Cyclops's time II was different
The wind was in back OF him all the
way and there was no doubt but thai
II increased his speed at least a second
Leaving out the time of the race Mr.
Gerry's colt ran an exceptionally fine
race. He followed a terrific pace Sc,
by Dick Browns Amor Patiae until the
final sixteenth OF mile, where Amor
faltered and he went on to win handily
by length. Tom O'Briens Shamrock
was third.
A band Of Futurity candidates wen,
forth TO do battle in the opening event
1t was for two-year-olds at Ave fur
longs down the chute. Carrying 126
pounds and giving away big Jumps OF
weight to all of her opponents Willis
Sharpe Klmer's Sally's Alley won II
in driving finish by a length. Her
victory was a huge surprise. Few race
goers or horsemen believed she had a
chance of beating such a good field
the way she was weighted. But she
ran as IL weight didn't bother her in
the least and covered the 1--WE furlong
route in the exceptionally fast time OF
0:56 2-5. Only once before was this
mark beaten at the track That was
when Penrose was awarded the question
able mark of 0 :55 3-5
The Reviera Stables Miss Star nm
ished second and George w. Lofts
Kippy third. Sally's Alley followed the
pace closely until a furlonE from home
where she drew to the front where
she remained to the end. She was at
15 to l. After the race every one pres
ent conceded her good chance in the
Futurity. She will carry only 116
pounds in the $4,000 classic and under
that weight Gene Weyland is confident
she will cause her opponents to run in
record time to beat her.
PoIythia Lucky to Win.
The Bellair Handicap for mares of all
ages furnished a thrilling race. 1t went
to r. G. Soule's Polythia, with George d.
Widener's Last Straw second and
Joseph E. Davis's Prodigious third.
Callahan gave Polythia a perfect ride
and 1t was through his riding that she
was returned the winner. She was
probably the third best in the race.
Prodigious was probably best. Lang
rode her like novice. He got her in
two pockets and then swerved in and
out and put up a weak finish
Clyde Ponce made a fatal mistake on
Last Straw. He allowed her to run
wide in the stretch. This permitted
Polythia to come through on the inside
and win.
The aged Tufter. who used to be
saddle horse for Mr.. Widener, ran the
best race of his long carer in the Mas
sau Selling Stakes. He beat a small
field of high class platers handily after
giving them big Jumps of weight. In
winning he stepped over the one mile
route in l :36 3-5. The old fellow never
ran as fast as that before and there
were several horsemen present who said
that the official timer erred and hung
UP :36 3-5 instead of 1 :37 3-5.
The steeplechase. like most of the
other overnight gross country race this
season was a farce. 1t was won by the
old patched up cripple Crest Hill. Com
modore Gaunt was second and The Vir-
ginian third. Eariocker. the second
choice fell half mile from home.
Harry Payne Whitney's Flagstaff and
'Chickvale worked for the Futurity be-
tween races. They breezed a smart
three-quarters in :12 LIS. Clifford A.
Cochran's Goshawk also was out. He
didn't work fast. but moved along i'm
pressively.
