ODOM MS AN UNLUCKY DAY FOLLIE LEVY DISQUALIFIED AFTER FINISHING FIRST IN THE SENECA STAKES. Race I3 Awarded to Mexoana, with Which Odom Filly Had Interfered — Owner Odom Loses Trance by Claiming Process. Saratoga, N. Y., August 9. — oeorgo odom hail more than his share of misfortune In tin- running of the Saratoga Associations program this afternoon. After his filly, Follie Levy, had won the Seneca Stakes, she was disqualified and first place was awarded to Richard T. Wilson. Jr.s Mexoana. which finished second, while after Trance was beaten by Intrinsic in tho opening dash, she was claimed for ,320 by J. R. Waiuwright. who started Royal Captive in the race. It was an ideal day for racing. The midsummer sun was screened by fleecy clonus all afternoon and there was breeze enough at the course io make the temperature delightful. The Seneca, being witli selling conditions, did not attract particularly, but there were other excellent races down for decision and the showing of some new two-year-olds made the racing of special interest. The disqualification of Foliie Levy in the Seneca was not the result of a claim of foul, but was done by the stewards on their own initiative. Follle Levy ran fed Mexoana wide at the head of the stretch and later in the running she crossed over and seriously impeded Ben Loyal, which was making his run along the inuer rail. Herpes had been the early pacemaker and at the head of the stretch it was evident that the finish would be a close one. Follie Levy. Mexoana and Ben Ijoyal were scarcely heads apart at the furlong post and it was only the tough riding of Thomas on tlie Odom filly that got her home first. Though Follie Levy was a well-backed favorite, the disqualification was heartily applauded, it being recognized that but for the interference she would probably have been beaten by Doth Mexoana and Ben Loyal. James R. Keene showed two remarkably smart tillies in Sweepaway. a half-sister to tlie futurity winner. Sweep, and ileatberhroom, a half-sister to Maskette. Both ol them won today and the manner in which they scored left no doubt of their class. It is Inevitable that before long they will vie with the topawtehers. Both are fillies of grand size and have an impressive way of racing. Sweepaway won her race from a band of seventeen starters by loading all the way, while Heatherbroom had to catch Thomas Hitchcocks Bouncer before she was the winner. She accomplished her task in race horse fashion and at the end of five and a ball furlongs she was going along in a manner to suggest that she could race for an indefinite distance. Master Roliert, after having been away* from the races for two seasons, came back good enough to win over the mile and an eighth distance from a lot of selling platers. He was ridden by Joe Notter and as! a matter of fact Notter had considerable to do with the result. Little Dairies, who had the leg up on Choirmaster of ChesterhMdh, the pacemaker, made no mistakes, but when it came to the battle in the. stretch, lie was, of course, no match for Notter. The mile handicap was a thoroughly good race and had Suffragist been ridden by a stronger boy than little Dagler. an apprentice, lie would have made it three for the Keene statde during he day.
