George Han ¬ dicap atT one mile which featured the card The easterners mainstay was Enfilade running in the silks of the popular Schwartz Bros The betting duel by supporters of the pair waxed terrific at one stage and the horses alternated in favoritism at different stages At post time however the mare had the call There were five starters in the race but Leochares Buford and Blairgowrie came in for only scant attention though many iri the big throng could not resist for sentimental rea ¬ sons to have a wager on the veteran Leochares This old stager gave a remarkable exhibition and almost ran the best race of his career to land in second place in the second fastest race ever run here Sun Briars performance for a mile last year when he established a record of 136 being one fifth of a second faster than theSitiraeinade njr Valor today The winner showed a tremendous flight of speed from the start and led Enfilade nnd Leochares by a good margin with the pair seem ¬ ingly done before reaching the half Valor con ¬ tinued with fast stride in the stretch and Enfi ¬ lades challenge was withstood without apparent effort The Schwartz mare under the discouraging conditions tired fast in the last sixteenth and Leochares challenge for second place prevailed but he was not good enough to overhaul Valor Avhich won in a canter and had Callalian urged him to his utmost he would have wrested away Sun Briars laurels for the mile record recordConsiderable Considerable interest centered in the running of the final race in which a number of firsttime starters including the mnchtalkedof Golden Broom the highestpriced yearling of last year made a racing debut Golden Broom raced to the high ex ¬ pectation of his connections with the exception Hint he ran out which cost him the race The loss of ground he incurred by coming wide was more than ample to have given him a winning margin His speed was dazzling at the outset and he headed the leaders in a twinkling while going down the backstretch but he kept on for the outer fence tin the far turn and the stretch bend likewise was rounded awkwardly with the result that Harry Payne Whitneys Truly Rural and J McClellands lIiiHtcn On as well as Arrow Point in G W Scotts rotors managed to beat him home Golden Broom was equipped witli blinkers and he showed a hesi ¬ tating Inclination on the way to the post Some shrewd horsemen held to the belief that his action was due to the blinkers and also blamed bis running nut to the fact that he was prevented from seeing fully where he was going His next start will more than probably witness him reversing todays decision with those which finished in front of him himOEESTES OEESTES VICTORY POPTOAB POPTOABOrestes Orestes carrying the colors of a prominent Ha ¬ vana
