There probably isn't two-year-old
In the country which could have beaten
Sandy McNaughton's Little Celt yes
terday afternoon. He fairly few in
the Ardsley Handicap at the Empire
City track yesterday afternoon and
beat quartet of good youngsters in
n gallop. Without being urged at any
stage OF the. race he stepped over the
short six furlong route in the excep-
tionally fast time of 1:0S AS. At the
end he was four lengths in front of
John e. Madden's high class filly, Best
Love. Robert L. Gerry's William Tell
was third, length and half further
back
After the race there was discussion
as to whether or not Little Celt could
beat Best Love at a mile. Horsemen
were divided in their opinion and at
one time 1t looked as IL match race
might develop. But this fell through
when change In the distance was sug-
gested.
Little Celt showed great flight Of
speed in his last race, but it was az
nothing compared to that he displayed
in the Ardsley. Taplin had the leg up
on him and sent him away from the
barrier on his toes. The colt was full
Of run and before a sixteenth of mile
had been covered he was three lengths
{ in front and gaining ground with every
bound. Rounding the turn he doubled
his lead and stepped into the stretch
half a dozen lengths in front and
moving along without apparent effort.
Best Love LEFT the starter in tangle
and didn't get running her best until a
quarter of a mile from home. Then she
set sail for the leader. She made up
lot of ground, but Little Celt was too
far in front OF her and the best she
could do was earn the second end OF
the purse.
John E. Maddens Heremon, "a two
year-old son of Ultimus, beat band OF
older horses over the short six furlong
route in the second race The event
was for maidens two and three years
old. The youngster made his opponents
look real cheap. He followed James
Buffers Stone jug to the middle of the
turn, where he went to the front and
won gallopng by four lengths Stone
jug was second and Jacqueline Julian,
n Juvenile belonging to James McManus,
was third.
The stewards presented August Bel
mont with a purse in the final event His
bay filly Beatitude. by Hourless, out
of Belvale finished second. a length and
n half behind James Buffers Stella
NIaris, but the Butler filly was disquali-
fed and Beatitude moved into first place.
Harry Il. Sinclair's Mazeppa was
awarded the second end of the purse
and John Il. Madden's Pay Dear was
placed third.
Stella Maris was probably the best
horse in the race, but she deserved dis
qualification. While making her bid for
the lead In the homestretch, Snookums
Bell. her rider. struck her with his
whip. Under 1t the filly bolted across
the track and interfered with Beati-
tude, Mazeppa. Harry Payne Whitney's
Panache and Benjamin Blocks Nor
NAV.
When Strengthened out again Stella
Mars ran away from her opponents and
was galloping at the end. Beattude fin
ished strong and got up In time to beat
Mazeppa head for the second place.
Mormaw displayed a tremendous burst
of early speed and showed the way into
the stretch. There she began to stop,
and 1t was while she was floundering
about that Stella Maris hit and nearly
knocked Cliff Robinson, her pilot, over
the fence.
{ AS soon as the race was over half
dozen jockeys ran 20 the stewards to
complain about the foul, Bell was
hailed before the officials. The little
Jockey admitted his mount fouled three
or four horses. but he declared he
