Leads From Start to Finish
and Rider Says He Could
Have Won Easily.
STRICTLY A WHIP HORSE
Loafs When Not Urged-All
Over, Neglected by Owner
and Trainer, a Winner.
BY HENRY ". KING.

In Great Man Victor Vivaudou has
colt that is as fast as any juvenile
in the country. He won the Parole
Handicap at the Aqueduct track yes
terday afternoon like a real good colt.
He beat good field and accomplished
his feat in handy fashion. At the
end of the five furlong journey he was
under mild drive to beat r. I. Will
sons exceptionally fast colt, Tall Tim
her With McAtee in the saddle he
held command from start to finish,
and at the Judges was a neck in front.
He covered the five furlong route in
30 seconds. After the race McAtee
said that he could have won easily if
he had used the whip little more.
Both he and Fred Taral his trainer,
said that the colt is strictly whip
horse and will loaf along in front un-
less he is urged.
Great Man is a son of Great Britain
end Metzie. Fred Taral bought him for
Mr.. Vivadou for $1,000 as yearling.
In the spring he ran two phenomenal
races and then took sick. but Taral
nursed him along carefully and he came
out for work a month ago as fast and
as strong as ever. He started last week.
hut he met with interference and didn't
get a chance to show his best form.
After that race he worked half a mile In
46 seconds and five furlongs eased up in
So. So fine was this trial that his
trainer was confident he would win. The
clockers also were confident he would

Rancocas Colts in the Ruck.
Tall Timber, who was making his first
appearance in two months. displayed the
speed he showed at Empire City and
under a sterling ride by Buddy Ensor
ran fine race. Amor Patriae. which
finished third. two lengths behind the
Wilson colt, ran well too. He was third
throughout. The disappointment of the
race was the poor showing made by
Harry f. Sinclair's colts Curtis and
Aladdin. They were never prominent
in the race and finished far in the ruclS.
That some racegoers know more about
a horse than its owner and trainer was
demonstrated in the Fraternity Purse,
for three year-oids at one mile. The
Quincy Stables All Over won the race
easily by. a length and half from A.
X Macornber's story Teller, with +. G..
Soule's Slieveconard third and Mrs.
Payne Whitney's Pirate Gold fourth and
last.
All over was backed heavily from
s to / down to TO 2. But neither
his owner nor Jim Fitzsimmons, his
trainer. wagered as much as penny on
him. They didn't believe he could win
and told their friends and acquaintances
so, but despite their declarations race
goers continued to support him. When
Fitzsimmons heard that the colt was
being played he said he felt sorry for
the players. This colt hasn't got a
chance to beat Pirate Gold or Slieveco-
nard." he said. "He can't run mile
right now better than / :3s and / know
Pirate Gold can do much better than
that. He demonstrated it several times.
Pirate Gold can beat my Yankee Star
at a mile and ] know All Over can't
beat Yankee Star AT a mile"
But All over didn't have to run the
mile in / :3s TO win it. He earned the
major portion Of the purse by covering
the distance in the real slow time of
.39 3-5. What caused his opponents
to run so slowly Is matter of con-
lecture. Pirate Gold was beaten off and
didn't run better than / al. There was
something materially the matter within
despite the fact-that Mr. and Mrs. Payne
Whitney and their trainer Scot Harlan,
We're confident he would run one OF his
best races. Slieveconard was heavily
backed by small coterie OF professional
racegoerS just as the horses were going
to the post.
The Stonybrook Selling Stakes, the
monetary feature of the program, re-
suited in a surprise when Nose Dive
beat a good field of platers in gallop.
Ralco suddenly developed great turn
OF speed and showed the way for half a
mile. Then Nose Dive went to the front
and won handily by length and half.
Costigan. the favorite, WIS third.
Tufter one of the favorites for the
race. finished far in the ruck. He was
expected 10 race badly. Some scamp
stuck a sponge in his nose on Monday
night and 1t was there until Ernie Sietas.
his trainer. reached his stable yester-
day morning. DR.. McCuly was called
In to extricate II and gave II as his be-
lief that 1t would do the horse no harm.
The sponge was large and dirty one.

Mr.. Sietas and the stewards believe it
