JEAM JAM BERAUD BRAD AND OTHERS In reviewing the eastern racing situation the New York Sun of Monday says Whether Jean Beraud Bead is invincible or not is the burning question of the hour among horse ¬ men The consistent 2yearold son of His Highness Carrie C has only one defeat on his record up to date and in that race at Morris Park he only got clear sailing when it was too late for him to make up lost ground He has almost every stake for his age on the calendar to his credit and his last win on Saturday looked easier than any of his previous triumphs Skeptics assert that the class behind him on each occasion has been poor but the fact re ¬ mains that he is doing all that is asked of him in as cleancut cleanouts fashion as the 2yearold idols of previous years That he will ultimately reach his Waterloo is remotely possible but very improbable There is hardly a chance that some conservative owner has kept another Tremont Fremont Domino or Hamburg in pickle all this time while Jean Bereaud Bereaved was serenely sweep ¬ ing King the decks Some of the smartest young ¬ sters steers seen out since the campaign opened in earnest have yet to meet the Frenchnamed Frenchman conqueror and there may be one among them capable of taking his measure The book ¬ makers are clearly looking forward to such a contingency as tbey bevy continue to mark up odds about the colt which represent a gold mine for plungers with unlimited capital and confidence No matter what the outcome may be it is now conceded that Sydney Paget Page secured a bargain He is said to have paid 30000 to Gideon Daly Dally for tho thou colt the first stake won after the deal to serve as an instalment installment and half the sub ¬ sequent winnings to go to tbe tube previous owners Jean Boraud Brad promptly jumped out and won a rich stake at Gravesend Graves to which he added the Great Trial at Sheepshead Shepherd Bay last Saturday If he keeps on in this vein his new owner will probably win him out before the season closes closesThe closest The 3yearold problem is more complicated than ever Hamburg has more than wiped out his defeat in the Belmont Stakes Plaudit and Mirthful after being hailed as probable cham champ ¬ pions pitons in turn succumbed to Pink Coat War rentons renton forward running at Chicago makes him a factor to be considered while Sly Fox The Huguenot and Previous rank with the best on their good days The Realization Stakes to be run at Sheepshead Shepherd Bay on July 4 is expected to furnish some sort of a key to the puzzle Still all are not eligible to start and the public will have to wait further for developments There is every chance however that Plaudit The Hugueaot Huguenot Previous and Hamburg will join issue in the Realization and that fact alone should serve to make the race memorable
