GALLAYANT WINS SARANAC. TIPTOE HIS ONLY COMPETITOR FOR THE FEATURE AT SARATOGA. Contest Is Interesting: Many Withdrawals Because of Heavy Track Belmont Colors Twice Sue-cessful Glamor Wins in a Canter. Saratoga, X. Y., August 28. In these fas end days of the meeting interest in the racing is waning, but ideal weather conditions today offset this to the extent that a big crowd was at the course. The sport was high class, notwithstanding the reduced fields in several races. Many of the withdrawals were presumably due to the heavy track conditions. Nothing was last by the wholesale scratching in the Saranac Handicap of ,000 at one mile and a fur- long as long as the two belligerent mudlarks Galla-vaut and Tiptoe remained in to fight it out over the trying course. This contest had all the fascination of a match race and far overshadowed the remainder of the program both in interest and from a speculative standpoint. Tiptoe, which made the running, was not quite keyed up and was eventually worn down at the end by her more seasoned opponent,, equally at home In the going with the speedier Belmont filly. Despite its evident lack of confidence in short priced favorites, the success of the three odds-on choices Koseinount, Gallavant and Glamor and the heavily backed Neptunus and Cadichon, the public recouped the heavy losses of the day before. This will enhance interest in the two remaining days of the meeting. Sir Russell, ridden by Miller, won the opening sprint at six furlongs from Sanfara, atrociously handled by jockey Kent. It was the general opinion that with jockeys reversed, Sanfara would have won. Aucassiu, Millers mount in the race following at a mile, was unable to stride freely in the footing and rau unplaced. Neptunus, well supported by the public, won in a game effort. Little stable money Was iii evidence on the Drake horse. Rosemouut, the half brother to the famous Rose-tint, had only an exercise gallop to defeat those opposed to him at five and a half furlongs in the third. The misguided plunge on the western colt I!io Grande came to naught. The highly regarded and good looking Pessara colt, alleged to be the equal of Fountainbluc, rail high in flesh and was palpably short. Experts were favorably impressed by the Forsythe youngster, however, and a great future is predicted for him. Corrlgau was unable to concede the weight to Cadichon and lost out by a small margin at the end of the mile selling affair. The victory of Cadichon cost the ring a pretty penny. August Belmont scored his second success of the day with the two-year-old filly Glamor, by Hastings Glory. She sprcadeagled moderate opposition iii the closing race at five and a half furlongs. With the victory of Gallavant in todays Sarauae Handicap, T. J. Healey has trained three winners of this valuable stake. The other two being Dublin and Dolly Spanker. The stewards called in the services of the otiicial veterinary surgeon during the afternoon to examine Saladiu, one of the starters In the second race. The appearance and unruly behavior of the horse excited suspicion that lie had been "doped." A report has nut been made by the stewards as yet.
