$4,000 Race Tops
Aqueduct Inaugural
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 3o.-After a
four-week visit to Saratoga Springs,
N. Y, the horses returned to Long
Island today where the main attrac-
ton at Aqueduct was the $4,000
Bay Shore handicap at 7 furlongs.
Rippey, victor in the Bay Shore a
year ago, heads the field of eight
in the weights, the William Helis
star going in with 1870 pounds. Last
year he did it under 122 pounds, but
this time he must give away up to
80 pounds.
While Rippey probably will rule
the favorite, much support will go
to Gseentress Stables Coincidence,
which captured his last two races at
Saratoga-both at miles. Coinci-
dence must pack only 109 pounds.
Others are Pennant Day, 100:
Energetic, 1O9; Wide Wing, 1903;
Cornish Knight, Ill; Gallant Bull,
106; and Carolyn A., ia, the latter
winner of the Diana handicap at
