Tufter's victory was in keeping with
the fag end of almost every race meet
those days when the sharp shooters are
cunning for the wherewithaI to make a
successful getaway, These are the
days when the brakes are taken off the
"sleepers." Only one pronounced favor
tie galloped down past the judges in
front of his procession yesterday after
noon. and this one was not Tufter.
Indeed, Tufter, which was the second
choice of his field Of three, was more
or less lucky TO drag down the s1,35750
Of the purse money that went to the
winner. The receding favorite, the
Marone Stables Whisk, that opened at
odds-on to drift to 6 to 3, was perhaps
by far the best at the weights. But he
suffered from senseless ride on the
part of Jimmy Butwell.
Butwell's Poor Judgment
This veteran knight of the pigskin
used up his mount and himself in an
early dash that would have done credit
TO John Gilpin himself. Butwell went
away as If heading for the end of a
three-quarters sprint. He raced at
breakneck speed away out to q long
as far as he pleased refused to rate his
mount. Up the hill" of the back
stretch he flew for the far turn, with
never a "breather" for his laboring
steed.
Little II. Thomas, on the other hand,
took Tufter by the head and rated him
off his killing pace until he had scaled
San Juan. He was content gradually
to make up his disadvantage around
the turn TIL, swinging for home, Tufter
had moved up TO Whisk's throatlatch
A couple of cuts of the whip wakened
up the challenger sufficiently to put him
on even terms. 1t was not difficult
then for Tufter to race Whisk into
submission. Whisk had burned him
self up in the first six furIongs and had
little left when challenged. The win
ner was only galloping at the end.
Moze Goldblatt's Cherry Tree, the out
slider, was outrun at first, but closed
resolutely through the stretch.
Though the class of horses engaged
would not pan out to approved metro
politan standards, Handicapped W. S.
Vosburgh had so skillfuly adjusted
the weights that unusually spirited
competition resulted. In four of the
six trials head finishes thrilled the
crowd, and in two Of them the first
four thoroughbreds figured in real

were coupled as the Murphy Louis en-
try. Ghost, the second choice, was un-
doubtedly pounds the best of the field,
but suffered all the tough luck.
Ghost Gets Bad Break
An assistant starter, who had the
colt by the head, failed to turn loose
Ghost promptly with the springing of
the barrier. This swung Callahan's
mount sidewise toward the outside of
the track. Ghost reared to avoid col
iision with one on the outside. When
he settled and got to running the
colt was at a disadvantage Of more
than six lengths. Forced to take the
overland all tbs way, Ghost closed
resolutely after further interference
on the turn and was running much
stronger than the others at the end.
