Willis Sharpe hllmerS nOrSeS art
going great guns at the Aqueduc
meeting. They have won the thre,
most important stakes decided there
On the opening day his grand old cuI
horse Exterminator won the Brooklyn
Handicap: on Saturday his Sunferenc'
won the Hudson. and yesterday after.
noon his Sally's Alley defeated higf
class field of fllies in the Glover
Stakes.
Sally's Alley ran like a real goot
filly. She is u sturdy looking miss. BY
Allumeur and Salvolatile. and showed
that she has speed. stamina. courage
and likes the mud. There may be some
juvenile FLIES under cover that car
beat her ON fast track when the dis
tance lengthens out, but she will be
hard to beat in the mud.
She was outrun In the early stages CT
the race. but came with a determined
rush in the final furlong and got up IN
time to win on the post by a head. She
was racing very strong at the end OF
the five furlong journey. and if the dis
tance were half a furlong longer she
would have won off by herself. James
II. Smiths Silk Tassel was second. d
length and half in front of Walter
j. Salmon's Ell Dorado.
The disappointment Of the race was
Harry Payne Whitney's Cresta- This
daughter of Whiskbroom and Cressor
left the barrier better than in her pre-
vious starts but failed to display any
of the great speed she possesses. The
only way to account for her poor show
ing is that she doesn't like the mud
Mr.. Whitney was represented by ar
other filly named Dream Days. She
also Is by Whiskbroom and Is out OF
Rainy Daisey. She showed nothing and
was distant trailer all the way. She
didn't impress one as a mud runner and
ran green. Reports from Brookdaie
Farm says she has tremendous speed.
Mr.. Whitney Sees Race.
Nine fillies went to the post for the
stake. with the Whitney pair ruling the
favorite at to 5. Mr.. Whitney was al
the track to see his youngsters run and
so was Jimmy Rowe. who made the trir
from Brookdale especially to see them
In action. After the race they agreed
that their youngsters we're many pounds
better on a fast track.
The start was good. the field goins
away from the barrier aligned afte,
one minutes delay FL Dorado broke
In front and showed the way to the
elbow. There she was joined by SILK
Tassel. who was displaying a grea:
burst Of speed and bounding through
the heavy going as IL she ware fond OF
it. Together these two fillies raced
toward the Judges almost abreast. Al
the final furlong FL Dorado attempted
to run out and Charley Miller was CON-
PEELED to change his whip and strike
her across the nose with II to keep hes
in. This prevented him from doing her
justice and she began to falter and Silk
Tassel began to draw away from her
Just as Silk Tassel seemed like th
winner SaIly's Alley made her bid fol-
the lead and try as Mooney might Il
keep his charge going he could not ge
home before the head of Mr.. Kilmer'.
filly was in front OF him.
The race was exceptionally fast con
sidering the going. Sally's Alley cam.
home in 70 seconds-time which rank.
with the best made in the stake on 6
fast track.
Comic Song. the three year old un
sexed son of Black Jester, won the
Fair Play Handicap in a gallop. Thi,
geldng ran remarkably good race
behind Whiskaway at Belmont Parl
and on figures was much the best. But
he had no mud form and It was re.
ported about the paddock that he coulc
not gallop well in heavy going. AS q
result he had few friends and instead
of being the favorite. he was the rank
outsider. When 1t came to racing he
was a l to 10 shot. He sped away from
the barrier on his toes. quickly opened

nents and then cantered the remainder
of the way to win eased up by five
lengths. Excuse was second and Thin
BILE third. Comic Song covered the
mile in 40 1-5.
Rames Easy winner.
Joseph z. wideners colors were
borne to victory in the first race when
his RaffIes, a son of Luke McLuke
beat home a big field of good juvenile
going and, taking the lead soon after
the start, led all through the stretch to
win easily by two lengths from Cork
Elm. who was second, ten lengths In
front Of Lady Inez.
Raffles is a good looking colt but he
IL not sound. He has been for sale fol
several weeks. On Tuesday morning
p. S. p. Randolph went to Belmont
Park to buy him. but when the colt
was led out OF his stall he was so lame
Mr.. Randolph changed his mind about
acquiring him. Yesterday there was
nothing lame about him, either before
or after the race. He was entered to
be sold for $2,551. No. one bid on him.
