Aurora Track
Mark Broken
by Mata Hari
Kentucky Derby Horse Wins
$4,000 Illinois Added
in 1:49 As.
BIZ United Press

By Ontted Press
CHICAGO, May 24-Mata Hari,
the fleet little filly owned by Charles
T. Fisher of Detroit, was back in
the 3-year-old picture today, just
aching for another chance at her
boy friends who beat her in the
Kentucky Derby.
With one of the most brilliant
bursts of speed ever seen on a Chi
cago track, Mata Hari captured the
$4,000 added Illinois Derby yester-
day in the record smashing time of
minute, 40 As seconds for the mile
and an eighth.
Mata Harris time lowered the Au-
rora track record for the distance
by three seconds and was only a sec
ond and two-ffths slower than the
worlds record made by Hot Teddy,
carrying ITO pounds, at Belmont
Park in 1929. Mata Hari had lit
pounds up yesterday.
The temperamental Mata Hari
held up the start of the Illinois
Derby just as she did the Kentucky
Derby. She pranced, pitched and
snorted for 61a minutes and the
starter never did get her in the
starting gate. He had to move her
from post position No. to the out
side position in the field of IL.
Outside the gate, Mata Hari
quoted down, but just as soon as
the race was on the dark bay f1lly
came Winging down the stretch and
was leading the pack at the stretch
turn. She widened the gap all the
way to the back turn into the home
stretch, where she was leading by
four lengths.
Jockey Lee Humphries of Cali
fornia had to go to the bat to keep
her in front in the drive to the wire,
but she gamely fought off New
Deals challenge and won by a
length, although the chartmakers
called it only a half-length. Plight,
the Texas Derby winner, was third,
four lengths back of New Deal.
Mata Hari was an even money
favorite, paying $4.04 to win. The
victory was worth 1920 to Mata
Harris owner.
