Emotion. the threc-year-old daughter OF
Friar Rock and Affection, is the best
racing mare Of her age. she earned
the title in the Test Stakes at mile
and q quarter here this afternoon when
she easily defeated w. L. Thompsons
Medina. Emotion. should have the un-
disputed right to the crown all season.
She was beaten by Harry Payne Whit-
ney's Prudish in the American Coaching
Club oaks at Belmont Park and py
Medina here in the Alabama Stakes, but
on each of those occasions her Jockey
dsobeyed stable instructions.
Mr. Gerry's illy cost $25,OOO early
this spring She was bred by John r..
Madden and as a ycarlinG and Juvehle
she had as much speed as ay hily ana
has run as far as any or them. After
Mr.. Madden sold her George Odom, VINO
trains for Mr. Gerry, pointed her Tor
the Oaks and had her in prime condi-
ton for IT, Sande rode her IN that
stake and his instructions were TO lay
off the pace until well into the home
stretch Odom told the jockey that she
had one great burst OF speed, but that
she could be rated along all day ana
then come on and outsprint any hlly IN
the country. And he instructed Elm not
to make move on ner uIitiI Wch hieo
the home stretch.
Sande evidently became overanXious
end started his run three quarters OF a
mile from home. She ran over her OPP
ponents and seemed like An easy win
ncr. but the run was made too soon and
she faltered at the eighth pole and was
decisively beaten by Prudish
In the Alabama, McAtee had the
mount on her. lie received instructions
rot to make a move on her until the
aisy I.rif ixt q
became overanxious and started his run
before entering the homestretch. AS a
rtsult Medina came along and btat hec
rather handly.
Emotion Handy winner.
This afternoon McAtee again had the
mount on her. This time he was in
structcd not to make his move with her
until a sixteenth OF ii mile from the
Judges. Again he discbeycd He made
his bid for command at the three -eighths
pole instead os the sixteenth pole. But
Emotion was equal to the task and won
hardly by a length and half. To win
McAtec had to push and shove her all
through the final furIong. whereas II he
had rated her along until the sixteenth
pole he probably would have won gal
looping

to the front AK soon as the barrier went
up and stepped along two lengths ahea q

straint Running into the homestretch
McAtee set sail for the leader and was
ir front at the final eighth pole, but
there Emotion began to tire bit and
Medina gave her hard fight to the
Judges stand.

lie held Knobbie Off the early pace
until entering the stretch There he
went to work on the Sinclair colt and
BY diEt OF the hardest kind of riding
landed him the winner by the shortest
kind of head.
Evelyn Sawyer won the opening event
for cheap juveniles and Cosdigan took
the Amsterdam selling stakes.
Loft FiIIy In Front.
Prince led home q field Of fairly good
handicappers in the fifth and George W.
Lofts Kippy. a daughter Of BroomsticS
and Seamstress, beat small field Of
Young misses in driving finish. Kippy
was bred by Mr.. Loft. Seamstress, her
dam. raced In Mr.. Lofts colors a few
years ago and was a real good racing
mare.
Mr.. and Mrs Loft saw the race and
although they had played several win
ners none of them gave them the JOY
they received by seeing the daughter
of their former pet earn brackets the
first time out.
The track vas cuppy and II IL inn
possible to figure out how good she L.
one thing is certain, she has plenty Of
speed and plenty OF courage.

Harry Il. Sinclair's Grey Lag and Willis

scheduled to meet at even weights. Mr..
Sinclair has Halter and Kai-Sang also

has Bon Hommc named to start, but
