This was the chestnut son of Runny
to the name of Runviso, and whi
Robinson, practically spread field
quarters of mile in the good tin
1t was not an ordinary field that Run
viso defeated. To break his nader
this colt had TO take the measure Of
some of the very fnest-1wo -yeagolds
that have been to the races 0ais season
He came around the field oh the bend
and he won by four lengths in gal
lop with such cracks jacks as Cos
hawk, Mckee, Cherry Pie and Grea;
Man behind him. The victory was
worth s4,550 to the winner.
Runviso's victory unfortunately was
not so clear cut as it might have been
though at the weights, when his per-
formance is considered from every
angle, there is reason TO believe he was
much the best. No one expected him
to run such a good race. 1t was
known he was possessed of sensational
foot but in his previous starts he had
shown peuchant for stopping at the
end of q half mile. Even by his stable
connections Runviso was not con-
sidered seriously in q field Of such

Hard Luck for Great Man
G. A. Cochran's Goshawk and Charles
A. Stoneham's Mckee, which finished
second and third respectively, as well
as Cherry Pie and Great Man were all
Dorb I,o honNi
est plunge was made on the Riviera
Stables Great Man because of a re-
ported sensational work at Aqueduct.
This colt, which won two sensational
races at Jamaica last spring but which
had not been out since May 13 last was
credited with workout of six furlangs
in 1:12, the first five in 0:59 3-5 He
gave every appearance Of being razor
sharp. But he would have had to be Il
veritable Man O. War to overcome the
tough break in the racing luck that he
experienced.
Indeed, the race was anything but
truly run and there was some surprise
that no questions were asked of Rob
inson, who piloted home the winner 1t
did appear as if Runviso was directly
responsible for general piling up and
jam that occurred on the bend, in
which Goshawk, Great Man and Cherry
Pie all suffered, but Great Man much
more than either of the others.
McAtee outbroke the field with Cherry
Pie, but Fairbrother, on the rail next
to him, was off well, too, and to the
turn Cherry Pie and Great Man fought
it out with the Greentree Stable colt
about a reck in front. Goshawk moved
UP fast and joined them as they hit the
first turn Meanwhile Runviso shot ur
like q streak of lightning on the out
side and half way around the benf
flashed to the front while the others
seemed to stand still. Great Man was
almost knocked over the fence. 1t
seemed that Runviso herded the field
and cut it off sharply in the race fol
the home turn.
After that it was all over but the
shouting. Runviso was several lengths
in front, and though only gallopine
continued to increase his advantage
Goshawk hung on gamely to the end
but Cherry Pie seemed to tire unde,
his heavy impost and a furlong from
home dropped out of contention. Tap
lin was off sluggishly with Mckee, but
made up lot of ground to finish thlrt
and was running more strongly thar
any of the others at the finish.
Only Ons Favorite Wins
It was a day of surprises Until the
very last trial not q favorite got home
in front and among the winners were
many long priced ones. BY the time

bank roll left to buck the tiger. Great
