I. Ear better average 10 form for the
a. but for an aceiden. that marred
~ feature race. the Molrose Selling
s.skes. $4,000 gallop az mile and
f. sixfeenth. n. Alterman's old black
eeiding Tufter beat out the Marrone
S,sble's Whisk, the odds-on fayorite,
,bvoueh a sort Of fuke. The heavily
,laved whisk. which drew the outside
nosition in the light field OF four. was
taught under the chops By the barrier
as 4 vas sprung.
Consequently. he was OF in n tangle,
Rad 20 trail the field around the first
turn and took 90 much out Of himself
in the backstrctch in making up his
serious handicap that he had little
ieft for the final drive with 1Nfter
through the final furlong.
Undoubtedly Whisk was good enough
% beat Tufter yesterday with an even
break in the racing luck. The ques-
tion. however, Is open 20 debate.
Tufter was a mighty good horse-as
good horses 60, typifying o feld Of
such elass-and he did not appear 20
be straight at any stage Of the jour
rcy. Tufter ran the mile and a six
teenth in the very creditable time Of
I.46 2-5. Yet IL must be remembered
that Whisk. more than six lengths
behind at the start, was closer than
two lengths 20 the winner az the end.
Tufter was able 20 take the shortest
possible route home; Whisk had 10 run
around his field. The race was worth
s2.0S5 10 the winner.
Ralco in Stubborn Mood
Despite the fact that the field was
small, there was some show Of excite
ment in this Melrose Selling Stakes.
J. B. McKee's Teddy r., recently pur-
loined of the Quincy Stable, and II. s.
Browns Rslco came out against the
others looking like Eternal and Thun-
eerelap. Teddy r. ran a pretty fair
tert OF race 20 finish third. Rslco,
0 sour old rascal seemed dangerous
for more than a half mile, then he
pinned back his ears and absolutely
refused 20 run a lick. Teddy K. cut
out stiff pace for six furlongs. ".
Thomas. meanwhile. had rated n couple
Of lengths back. He made his move
as they swept 20 the far turn and came
up on the outside.
II took little time for Tufter 20 put
Teddy R. away. Meanwhile Pool had
worked Whisk up 70 within striking
distance. Whisk was forced 20 come
vide around the other two at the home
turn, but once Strengthened he moved
up fast under the whip. For a time II
seemed as II the favorite might take
Tufter. But when Whisk got close
Tufter came on again. Whisk, tired
from his earlier efforts, hung just a
triAe through the final sixteenth.
Tufter was going away az the end.
The three winning favorites stood
out over their company as prominently
as Pixies Peak against the surrounding
Landscape. The first was J. s. Cosden's
Roulette. thrown in at 10 pounds.
Roulette. of in a tancie. was waited
with until c. Hummer assured himself
Of clear sailing around the turn. He
raced uD fast then and soon put away
Pastoral, the early paccmaker, and was
simply galloping through the stretch.
Royal Charlie, q i5-to-l shot, hung on
gsmely oil the way for second money
Pastoral was third.
Only a Gallop for Contact
In Contact Johnny Lotus saddled
the winner Of the Sylvan Purse, third
on the program. This was a fve-and-
s.half furlong sprint for juvenile
platers. Contact raced like a stake
horse against her cheap company
Laverne Fator beat the gate with her
by some three or four lengths, but the
Oak Ridge flly was so good she might
have been left at the post and still
won. IL was only a gallop. Manicure
Maid. out for her first airing, held all
the others safe and took The place so
easily she seems one well worthy OF
remembrance. The Greentrec Stables
Red Wrath finished third
The Shea Stables Louise Groody,
backed from s 20 20 6 TO 3, won the
ffth race. another FIVE and a half fur
longs dash, Just as she pleased. She
practically spread her field and was
ten lengths in front Of Scarecrow at
the end. Irish Pat was third. Louise
Croody broke sloyenly and was forced
10 race up on the outside. yet never
once was she fully extended.
Frank ]. Farrell and all his connec-
tions were looking out the window
when Rainbow Boy took the curtain
opener, a gallop Of a mile and SIX
teenth. This three-year-old son OF
wrsek supposedly could not carry his
known speed beyond three quarters OF
smile. Yesterday he gave evidence OF
sbility 70 travel on forever. He never
was iet down. yet he simply raced
TIE others into submission. Yet If
any coup was pulled the wagering
was done somewhere beside Empire
CITY. Rainbow Boy opened al 20 !
and sky rocketed TO 10 !.
Buxom might have given Rainboy
Boy an argument had not Merimee
been shut of and shuffied back in the
