BUD LARNER A WINNER
HENRY ". KING.


o, the n. A week ago he beat a
hciS ~ gh class horses, including
HARRY inclairs Mad Halter, in rec
ora time, but despite his fast time, a
majority of those who saw the race
branded his victory as fiuke. Mad
Halter suffered bad racing luck in that
event, and almost all agreed that he
was the best
In the Long Beach Handicap at the
Jamaica track yesterday afternoon
Sennings Park picked up seven pounds
more than he did in that race and beat
home the same kind OF field, includ-
ing Mad Halter. There wasn't any
fiuke about yesterdays race. He ran
a p'werful race. He led from start to
sh over the mile and a furlong
oute and stood a hard drive for more
shan a quarter of mile to win by
half a length from Mad Halter.
The Sinclair horse had no excuse,
neither did Mrs. Wilfrid yiau's Auda-
cious. which finished third ten lengths
behind Mad Halter. Harry Payne
Whitney's Damask, the only other
starter, sulked at the barrier and all
through the race He was never a con-
tender. He can do better.
Mad Halter carried 12S pounds, seven
more than Sennings Park was shoulder
ing. but although Mr. Waterbury
horse won in a driving finish by the
scant margin of half, length, there
were many shrewd horsemen who said
he could beat Mad Halter at even
weights.
10000 mt Track.
More than 10000 persons crowded their
way INTO the little Jamaica course to
see the race and all saw a grand con-
test
Ine start was not one OF Mars Cas-
sldyo best Sennings Park and Auda-
cious went away ahead of Mad Halter
and Damask. Sennings Park had the
most early speed and Lawrence Lyke
hustled him into a long lead in the first
quarter of a mile. Audacious ran in
second position, with Mad Halter in
third place and Damask far in the rear.
Entering the back stretch Lyke took
a nice snug hold on Sennings Park but
ne didn't check much OF his speed. He
just steadied him and allowed him to
run on his own courage In the middle
OF this straightaway Sande gave Mad
Hatter more rein and he quickly passed

ter catching Sennings Park The Water
bury horse was winglng along in front
ana apparently well within himself.
Rounding the bend Sande began TO ride
Mad Halter. The big black son of Fair
Play responded gamely and gained
ground with every stride But not
much ground. Sennings Park was still
running at a stiff pace
AT the top OF the home stretch Mad
H.
twenty jumps nearer the Judges he
was at his saddle girths. At the final
turlong he was at his throatIatch. But
that was the best he could do. At this
point Lyke, who had been riding Sem
nings Park hard al through the
stretch, doubled his efforts. Sennings
Park responded to the urging and
would not give way. Mad Halter
sought hard under one or Sande's best
rides until seventy yards from home
Then he began to bear out like a tired
horse usually does and Sennings Park
went over the finish like a handy win

one and three-fifths seconds behind the
record for the track
John r. Madden's Bud Larner the
pay son OF The Finn and Dreamstone.
WHICH made his initial appearance and
scored on Thursday, convinced the
crowd that he was quite a smart two
year-old in the 5000 Youthful stakes.
He ran a fine race and beat half
dozen OF the best youngsters that have
been shown here. Outrun i'm the early
stages by Morton +. Scnwartz's PEN
non, he came with a rush in the run
through the homestretch and scored an
easy victory. At the judges he wss two
lengths In front Of the Quincy Stables
Frank G. William Daniels Blanc
seing was third.

Pennon, handsome son OF Pennant.
displayed a lot OF speed for half a
mile and then curled up and quit TO
almost a walk. Fairbrother got a
burst at the barrier ana gained two
lengths advantage. His instructions
were to wait off the pace, but with
such big advantage there was nothing
Tor him 10 do but go on and make
the most use Of II, especially when the
race was only five and a half furlongs
He might be real good colt. but he
didn't show Il. Bud Larner looks like
n high class youngster and ran like
one. FRANK @. was much the best OF
the others. lie had a slight cough In
Maryland and that might have affected
him.
Blue Hawk. by Atheling III. out OF
Chocolate Lady, was the disappoint-
ment of the race. He showed terrific
speed In his first outing. Yesterday
he showed nothing. He broke badly
and was never a contender he can
do much better IL is likely he could
have earned some part of the purse
II Parke had rode him and allowed
him to run. Because he got away badly
and was outrun in the early stages he
made no effort with the colt He kept
pulling up and pulling up all the way
If he had allowed him to run through
the stretch he probably would have
been third.
Bud Larner's time for the five and
q half furlongs was :O5 3-5, the fast
est time ever made In the stake.
Frank Browns three-year-old colt
Hephaistos. gave three older horses
George. Sedgefleld and Roi Craig. big
Jumps of weight and n beating in tho
Commonwealth Handicap at one mile
and n sixteenth. He won in a driving
finish by a head from II. I. Wilson's
1edgefield Georgie was third, half a
length back Poi Craig was beaten off
Hephanistos ran a good race. Although
his margin OF victory was small he was
well I'm hand at the end. lie Is essentially
a whip horse, and Il Is likely he could
have held his opponents safe for another
Z furIong The race was made 10 order
for Sedgefield. There was no early pace,
and throughout he was within striking
tistapte OF the leader. In the stretch
Ne came fast and easily beat Georgie.
Gsorsie was ridden by little Eddie Kun
