New-York tribune., 1922-11-11

Ao-uay's running OF the walden por-
trayed in the effort of the winner that
rare courage and ganleness which
make thoroughbred racing worth
while. To win 0ui 0ui had to over
come what ordinarily would have been
considered unsurmountable obstacles.
Caught in the swirl of an unwieldy
field and shuffled back into the rpek,
W Pool had to weave his way through
! broken field in the run up the back
stretch to get into contending posi-
ton. Then he had to come through the
proverbial "knothole" at the last turn
TO vindieate the class of his mount
and his own redoubtable horseman-
ship.
Sally's Alley Absent
~ Thrilling and deserved, however, as
was the victory Of Montfort Jones's
filly, the absence from the race of
Il W. S. .Kilmer's Sally's Alley left some.
l ahing to be desired. This winner Of
I the Futurity and also Of the second
+ divisional OF the Pimlico Futurity lost
no prestige by trailing home Martin
gale in the Pimlico Futurity Gold Cup
Z when she was asked TO race on q
muddy tracks, unsuited to her but to
Z the very best advantage of Martingale.
A victory for Sally's Alley to-day
would have established her claim TO
the Juvenile championship of the year.
She was fit and ready to accept the
issue, but trainer Gene Wayland was
forced to scratch for lack of a jockey
capable of doing justice to the filly's
reputation. Albert johnson, who SO
successfully handled the Kilmer horses
this year and who rode Sally's Alley
: to two Futurity victories this fall, is
seriously i'll from an attack of pneu-
maonia which developed overnight.
The victory of Oui oui to-day was q
sad commentary on the class of the
seasons crop of colts Also it estab-
lished the fact that the Western turf
world has regained it's place in the sun.
+. All the important juvenile stakes run
at this meeting have been won by
/. FLIES. E. r. Bradiey's Blossom Time,
another Western filly, won the first
divisional of the Pimlico Futurity last
), Saturday. However, one flly of which
much was expected to-day, but which
I. proved a painful disappointment, was
( August Belmont's How Fair. She ap-
peared drawn on parade, and never
once in the journey displayed a fash
] Of her alleged brilliant foot.
Il. General Thatcher Cuts Up
The start was long delayed by the
antics of General Thatcher, which re-
peatedly plunged through the barrier,
D circumstance which did the top
weights no good. Cyclops, How Fair
Z and General Thatcher finally broke
!. running at the word, but the Belmont
filly had little foot and was soon out
of contention. Cyclops set the pace
rounding the clubhouse turn, with Gen.
Z eral Thatcher and Solisa in close pur-
suit. This order was maintained al
most to the far turn, where Cyclops
i began to chuck it.
= Meanwhile Oui Oui was in close quar-
/ tiers till Strengthened for the long run
7 alp the backstretch. Jockey w. Pool
]. weaved his way through a broken field
till he got the rail; then shot up on
the inside. Hitting the far bend he
passed the tiring Cyclops and found
nothing in front of him but General
; Thatcher and Solisa. The General here
s held lengths advantage, and even
inches were precious. So Pool took a
i desperate gamble. He squeezed in be-
s tween Solisa and the rail coming into
tho stretch-simply TANNED his way
/! through set out for the pace
!. paaker.
8 1t was horse race through the short
stretch, one none Will soon forget.
Less than a sixteenth from home Oui
4 Oui finally was looking General Thatch-
sser in the eye, and the latter hung in
4 the last ffty wards
