BY w. ]. Macbeth

Harry Payne Whitney's gallant Trys-
Ter proved himself one of the finest Of
handicap horses in training by the
manner In which he beat high class
field Of eprinters in the Fleetwing
Handicap at Empire City yesterday
afternoon. This handsome four-year-
old coal black son of Peter Pan-Tryst
(Which was undefeated in his two-year-
old campaign) galloped off to impress
sive victory in the Yonkers feature,
and, though burdened by the heavy I'M
post Of 1928 pounds, covered the short
three-quartera route over Il course that
was euppy in tho remarkably fine time
Of 1.o9 3-5.
In comparison with the Rancocas Sta
ble's Knobbie, Tryster is q small horse.
But Knobbie, which finished third, three
lengths back Of the winner, carried only
one pound more. The Whitney star
gave all the others, irrespective Of age,
not only a big pull in the weights but
sound licking as we'll in his splendid
performance, which added $3.50 to the
Fl. P. Whitney Golfers.
Exodus, four-year-old chestnut geld
ing, now racing in the colors of the
Greentree Stable, but which was q sta
BILE companion of Tryster when the lat
ter was adding fame and fortune to the
pale blue and brown silks as the 1920
Juvenile champion, ran another remark
able race to finish second. This good
gelding has suffered all season from
temperament. He is hard-headed and
stubborn. He insists on running to suit
himself and it appears to suit him to
run as closely as possible to the out
side fence in all his engagements. He
ran wide yesterday all the way, but
once Strengthened for home he uncov-
cred such sensational squirt under his
over his field and, indeed, was threat
ening the game Tryster at the end.
Poem in Horsemanship
L. Morris's handling of Tryster was
q real poem in Workmanship. George
W. Lofts On Watch is about as ill
behaved as any thoroughbred seen in
polite society. He was 50 obstreperous
that his bride broke under the grasp
of an assistant at the start 1t re-
quired almost ten minutes to repair the
rig, and while first aids in harness
making were being applied the burdens
Of flesh and lead were not eased from
the backs Of the candidates. Of course,
the top-weights 80 Knobbie, Tryster,
Thundreclap and On Watch-suffered.
And that Tryster, which had not been
to the races since the running of the
Toboggan Handicap at Belmont Park
last Memorial Day, should overcome
this handicap and win as impressively
as he did speaks only the louder of
his innate class. This was Tryster's
second triumph In three starts this
season. He won the Paumonoh Handi-
cap at Jamaica on the occasion Of the
opening of the metropolitan season
MAY 81 and In the Toboggan on May
80 at Belmont Park finished third to,
Rocket and Dunboyne. Rocket, how
ever, was a stable mate of Tryster with
which Mr.. Whitney had declared to
win. So that Tryster may still be re-
garded as technically unbeaten in his
four-year-old year.
The field Of nine was sent away in
fair alignment. Knobbie broke on top,
but maintained his advantage for less
than a hundred yards. The Triple
Springs FARMS feet Penrose soon
rushed to the front from an outside
position, and long before the first turn
had taken the rail and drawn off to
lead of more than q length. Penman
went after the pacemaker with Calam-
ity Jane, q three-year-old flly that was
coupled with Tryster. In the run
around the bend Calamity Jane worked
to the inside of Penrose, and indeed
slowed by the Triple Springs Farms
out Of 1t.
