Upsets Are Numerous
Records were broken, records were
nosehed and records were threatened
at the opening of the fall meeting of
the Metropolitan Jockey Club at fair
jamaica yesterday afternoon. Unfor-
.unately, the record breaking perform
ance witnessed the biggest upset OF
he afternoon. H. Wsterson's Brain
storm was the pearl of the fat-headed
bivalve. Everybody was astonished
when HE took the measure of Mad
Halter, and in taking it clipped three
ffths Of second off the track record
for mile and sixteenth.
Brainstorm, under spirited ride by
jockey B. Marinelli, galloped the dis
i:441-5. that shaded by three-ffths
seconds the best previous time hung up
jointly by the Westmount Stables
Sennings Park and the Quincy Stables
Relay on May 6 and Is, respectively,
this same year.
Brainstorm WAS one Of the outsiders
Of the field of half dozen that con-
tested this October Handicap, the
opening day feature. The wise fish all
thought Mad Halter had everything to
himself and supported him Justify at
to 10. They believed there were no
Lucky Hours in the race. But they
failed to remember that in trying to
beat Lucky Hour he had run himself
blind. So the race was on.
Mad Halter SKINNED through on the
rail, and In the backstretch opened a
lead Of several lengths. But Mad Hat
ter stopped as if shot under his weight
at the end Of six furlongs. 1t was
then Msrinelli, with the contender,
eassd up to him and laughed in his
face as he drew away through the
stretch to g ridiculously easy win in
record time. Fred Burlew's Irish
Ryigadier chucked 1t to Hephaistos at
he snd Of half mile. John Paul
Sarss which sky-rocketed to the
Clouds couldn't work up an exercise
gslop under the whip.
Little Celt Outlucked
The greatest cinch that ever looked
through bride was spilled for loss
when Sandy McNaughton's Little Celt
nn second to the Rancocas Stables
Rtgsl In the third race, a dash of five
and half furlongs for maiden two
yssr-olds. Little Celt, backed from
WI to 7 to s, was almost knocked
dssa no less than three times during
TIE race. The colt would have romped
dome despite early interference had
not August Belmont's Rock Bottom,
which finished third, knocked him to
his knees turning into the home
stretch. Gantner got plenty of air
and got it summarily when he went
up to claim foul.
Bessie Leighton was much the best
Of the field ef eight cheap two-year-
olds that went to the post for the
opening dash, but had to be content

vas the best the way the race was run.
