ALLANADALE CH C 2 BY HALMA SUDIE MC NAIEY ALJ ANADAIE Although AllnnnDalos racing career is con ¬ fined to the winning of two parses at Washing ¬ ton Park it is donbtfnl if any western two year old colt stands higher in public estimation than does this fleet halfbrother to Batten and Maid Marian In point of eize power sym ¬ metry and a great flight of speed of the highest order he seems to be about all that an owner could well desire and it eeems moro than pro able that an illustrious career lies before him It is disappointing that the rain previnted him from meeting Abe Frank and Pentecost in the Kenwood Stakes but in view of his valuable engagements in the east his owner cannot be criticised justly for avoiding a severe race over such a trying track trackAllanaDales AllanaDales first start was for a purse at Washington Park Juno 25 With 111 pounds up he met Herodiade 118 Harry Beck 115 C j Bosenfeld 111 and Hairy Wilson 111 The two firstnamed had good winning performances to their credit but so widtly disseminated had been reports that AllanaDale was a racing gam of the first water that he was an oddscm favoiite throughout the betting The distance was five furlongs G Bosenfeld had a Blight advantage when the barrier flew up but Allan aDale dashed into the lead instantly closely pressed by Herodiade The latter clung to his flying leader gallantly until the far turn was reached where AllanaDale began to draw clear and turned into the stretch two open lengths in fiont This lead he increased to six lengths in the run down the stretch and won easing up in the recordbreaking tima for the track of 1COJ Outside watches made the time faster but the official time was sufficient to demonstrate that he WS a colt of amazing speed and that the longstanding rumors of his excellence were in no wise misplaced misplacedHis His second essay was also for a purse at five and onehalf furlongs June 28 He again car ¬ ried 111 pounds while his opponents were Helen Print 108 Hariy Wilson 106 Bragg 111 and Pentecost 118 Breaking second in a good start he speedily assumed a two lengths lead with Pentecost running second This lead he had increased to sis lengths at the head of the stretch where Pentecost crossed his legs and fell From there on AllanaDale came home under restraint and won by four lengths which he could have made many more The time was 107 and at no time was the good colt extended and doing his best bestIt It can be truthfully said that AllanaDale did not meet the best of his age at Washington Park but he won his two races with such con ¬ summate ease and with such evident speed in reserve that he made a great impression on veteran turfmen as well as on less experienced observers He has only one engagement at Washington Park the Hyde Park Stakes so Mr McDowell has decided to take him on to Brighton BrightonAt At this track hie first engagement is in the Brighton Junior Stakes of the guaranteed value of J10CCO which will be run Saturday July 13 The distance is six furlongs and under the conditions AllanaDale will be in receipt of fifteen pounds nonwinning allowance which will let him in with but 107 pounds to carry while the eastern crack Nasturtium will have to take up 125 If he starts in the same form he displayed here the event appears to be at his mercy His other engagement at Brighton Beach is in the 15000 Foxhall Stakes at six furlongs which will be decided on the same day that the Washington Park patrons will acclaim the winner of the Wheeler Handi ¬ cap Saturday July 20 If he does not win the theBrighton Brighton Junior he wll be entitled to a seven pound allowance He is a good colt and the property of a turfman of the right sort and there are many here in Chicago who will wish him no worse luck than that he may land both of the rich Beach stakes
