New-York tribune., 1922-09-06


Ka-Sang went after the s2,s50 that
rewarded the winning effort in yester-
days jerome, Tess for the money in
volved than the means presented for a.
good workout for next Saturdays Law
renee Realization, when he will be
called upon to meet Bunting, Pilory,
Lucky Hour and other top-notchers Of
his division over the long route of
mile and five furlongs.
1t will take a good horse to beat Kai-
Sang in the Realization. He is thor
oughbred that can do himself justice in
any kind of going. The track at
best was only good yesterday afternoon
it was far from lightning fast-when
Kai-Sang galloped the mile in the
astonishingly fast time of 1877 flat,
Sam Hildreth had instructed Laverne
Fator to work the colt an extra quarter
mile after the finish. There was no
ofkcial time taken for this extra dis
tance, of course, but many private
watches snapped the son of The Finn
in 2:04 4-5 at the end of his mile and
a quarter.
Winner Never Extended
Kai-Sang was never extended at any
time. Ineed, he finished out so
strongly and SO full of fight he ap-
peared one of those iron constituted
horses that could go on to any distance,
that could run tirelessly all day long.
And this despite the fact that he car
ried the crushing impost of 1873 pounds
on his back and because of the heavy
| going next the rail was kept out from
the fence at least ten feet all the way
round the bend, fact that added sew
eral lengths of actual distance over the
shortest route home for the mile.
| But for the wonderful exhibition of
Kai-Sang the Jerome Handicap would
have fallen unusually fat. After Pill
lory and Galantman had been scratched
Kai-Sang would have had to break a
leg to lose. He was held at the pro-
| hibitive odds of l to 6, and therefore
practically barred in the betting. The
/ sharpshooters squandered their brain
energy in cogitating the respective
abilities of the other two of the field
| H. Waterson's Brainstorm and f. F.
Cooney's Athelstan-in order to hop on
the proper place bet. But as usual the
talent Topped on the wrong one when
it guessed Brainstorm place at 3 to 5
and / to 2. s
Maybe the fault wasn't Brainstorms
| so much as McAtee's, who had the
mount. From the way McAtee rode the
1 had Man o. War under him. He raced
out to the quarter in 0:23 2-5; he flew
to the half in 0:46 3-5; he staggered to
the six furlongs in :12 2-5. And stag
gered is right.
If McAtee thought he was going to
trick Fator into going after him with
the heavily weighted Kai-Sang he was
very much mistaken. Fator let the
early pacemaker go as far out as he
chose, realizing full we'll that Brain
storm must blow up under the killing
Face. And blow up he did Kai-Sang,
admirably rated, was simply galloping
along behind, but as they swung around
the home turn it could be seen that
Brainstorm was laboring He had
shortened his stride, and foot by foot
the favorite was pulling up on him. At
the eighth pole Kai-Sang had laughed
his way past the reeling Brainstorm,
which absolutely collapsed at the six
teenth, so that Athelstan was able to
| jog up from nowhere to cinch the place
by three lengths.
Wilderness Shows Glass
kal-Sang VIII command following
in the Lawrence Realization. But the
day uncovered another good thorough
| bred whose performance is bound to
win him favor in the greatest of all the
Belmont fall stakes, the $4,000 Futur-
ity. This is R. T. Wilson's Wilderness,
the highly toutcd Campfire colt, which
spread good field in the closing dasn
Iof five and half furlongs over the
main course.
Though Wilderness was favorite and
heavily played to boot, plenty of money
showed both for Frederick Johnson's
Nassau and the Rancocas Stables
Curtis, which finished second and
