i Dominique scored his fourth straight
victory for Frank Keeney yesterday
afternoon at the Aqueduct track. lie
carried 126 pounds, gave away weight
TO half a dozen OF the best sprinters
in training and beat them in easy
fashion. Dcminique's victory came in
the Arverne Handicap at six furlongs,
He covered the distance against q
strong wind in the good time of 1 az 3-5
Dominique is usually a fast breaker,
but he went away from bad start
sluggishly and then went wide enter
ing the homestretch. When straight
ened out for the run home he dis
played a good burst Of speed, and
taking command at the final eighth,
went on to win by two lengths. Dick
Browns My Revere was second and
Mrs. Payne Whitney's EXODUS third.
Mrs, Whitney's Galantman went away
from the barrier on his toes and gained
three or four lengths on his field in
that first flight Rounding the bend
Mr.. Reveriex went up to him and in
the run down the homestretch made
him quit. But Dominique then came
along and made her falter. Harry Il.
Sinclairs sAnobbie was among the
starters, but WAS never serious con-
tender and finished "a poor fourth. He
was bumped soon after the start and
interfered with several times.
Jcers for FatOr,
Laverne Fator earned q host OF jeers
and boots for his ride on Pilgrim in
the fifth race. After having the race
practically won lie became overconfi-
dent and Earl S1nde came along with
George and beat him home by half a
length. Fator got Pilgrim off well and
was the first to show in front but be-
fore an eighth OF a mile had been
covered Georgia went past him and
showed the way until Strengthened out
for home. There Pilgrim challenged
and despite Sande's best efforts he
could not keep George UP and Pilgrim
went to the front, opened up gap
of two lengths and seemed like the
easiest kind OF a winner. But an eighth
~ mile from home the thousands at
the track became astonisned when
George made another bid for the lead
and Fator made no move to stall him
off. He sat like an image until
sfeorgie's head was in front. Then he
began to whip his mount but his en-
deavor came too late and Sande beat
him home. When F'ator returned to the
scales there was dead silence fol-
lowed by enough Jeers to deaden the
cheers accorded to. Sande.
George -. Widenyr's Equinoctial beat
home a half dozen Juvenile fllies. in
Guiding August Belmonts Amusement
in the first race. Jack Joyner had her

There was quite a BIT OK rough riding
as the barrier went up, and the assist

across his field and interfered with sew
