was co-favorite with Miss Dorothy
Paget's Golden Miller.
Neither favorite, however, ever
put up a serious threat.
Ballyhanwood, another Ameri-
can and a former runner in the
Grand National, got out of hand
when the horses lined up at the
barrier and broke through the
tape. Several others followed
him to a false start, and it was
necessary to line up the field a
second time.
| Remus Leads At Start
Previously, Coup de Chapeau
had upset the lineup.
Remus. an English entry owned
by A. E. Berry, led the pack when
the field finally got away. The
horse pulled ahead as the pack
mounted the slight rise to the
first of the series of brutal jumps
and bitches which dot the AZ
mile course.
Remus led over the first jump,
which the entire field negotiated
successfully. The same horse held
his place at the second thorn
fence with ApostaSy right on his
withers.
All managed to clear the third
jump, rallied ditch and thorn
fence, with Ballyhanwood replac-
ing Apostasy as runner-up.
BY this time, several had drop
ped we'll to the rear. Among
them were Jock Whitney's Dusty
Foot, with George H. pete" Bost-
wick, Americans outstanding
amateur jockey, up, as well as
the two favorites.
Remus held the lead over the
sixth and seventh obstacles and
got over the canal turn, the
toughest jump on the course,
without difficulty. AS usual, how
ever, this jump took a toll Of
several horses and riders.
Colliery Band moved up to Sec
ond place at the sharp turn fol-
lowing the canal jump. Southern
Hero came behind from nowhere
to figure in the picture as the
field sped down the home stretch
of the first lap.
The record crowd which
turned out in perfect weather
for the world-famous classic went
wild as Colliery Band moved up
further to steal the lead from
RemuS at the eighth jump.
At the tenth, however, Remus
grimly fought his way back in
front. At the end of the first
lap, Colliery Band was out again
with Delaneige. owned by the
American j. B. Snow, moving
up speedily.
The second time around found
Ballyhanwood, Dusty Foot, Kells-
boro Jack, and Pelorus Jack, the
biggest horse in the race, chal-
longing the leaders. It was the
first time Kellsboro Jack had
put UP a threat.
AS the jockeys pushed their
horses toward the canal turn for
the second time, the gruelling test
of horseflesh began to take it's
toll.
Several of the leaders faltered
in the terrific going, enabling
Golden Miller to jam his way well
up with Kellsboro Jack and
Peloris Jack, only to fall at the
water jump in front of the main
grandstand adjoining the royal
box at the canal turn.
KeIIsbOrO Jack Leads
With the finish in sight,
thunderous roar went up from
the crowd as Kellsboro Jack and
Pelorous Jack fought it out for
the lead.
At the sharply angled last turn
the American winner and Pelorus
Jack went on alone, with Really
True and Slater pounding on their
hoofs up the long last stretch,
which aScends a hill for more
than a quarter of a mile.
KellSboro Jack drew away in
the last stretch. Pelorus Jack fell
back. Really True and Slater
swept forward to finish in the
order named behind KellSboro
Jack as the finish was reached.
BOOkmakerS Celebrate
Once again, it was the book
makers who celebrated today's
race, but along with them was a
huge contingent Of American rae
ing fans who had turned out in
the hope of seeing a Yankee vic
tory.
It was in 1926 that an Ameri-
can entry won the last time. He
was Jack Horner.
