FIRST BUT IS DISQUALIFIED i .l j Over There Leads Others Honie in the Lawrence Realization But Had Fouled Dunboyne and Thunderstorm in Taking the Lead and Was Set Back. i XEAY YORK, X. Y., September C An exceptionally high-class program, including two high-class stake races, the Lawrence Realization for three-year-olds and the Champagne Stakes for two-year-olds, coupled witli ideal racing weather, brought out a crowd of racing enthusiasts equal in number to that of Labor Day. The track was at its best and good time was made. The Lawrence Realization, worth 1,00 net, was attended by a disqualification following the victory of Over There, which was easily best. AAhen going into the lead under a call on the far turnr Over There interfered witli Dunboyne and Thunderstorm, then racing into an easy lead, held ATexatious safe to the end. Following a claim of foul by the riders of Dunboyne and Thunderstorm, all the riders were interrogated and, after a long discussion by the stewards, the numbers came down and the race was given to Aexatious. It was an excellent and, fast run- race., -cutting down thepreTiotis track -record of 2:51 by three and two-fifths seconds". Aexatious is the first of her sex to be enrolled in the list of Realization winners. AA. R. Coes good filly Cleopatra won the Champagne Stakes, worth j53,.T7r net to the winner. Coiqiled with David Harum, she was greatly in demand by the speculators. Upset, coupled with Dr. Clark, an added starter, was the H. P. AAhitney entry and this entry at all times ruled a slight favorite. Captain Alcock was the early pacemaker, Cleopatra racing up to him about a quaater of a mile from the finish. From there on she withstood a resolute and long maintained challenge from Upset, winning by two lengths, with Upset second and his stablemate. Dr.- Clark, third. The opening race, which wris for two-year-olds, fell to the well supported Xeddam, with Padriac second. The winner displayed a great turn of speed and led throughout. Rhomb accounted for the steeplechase by a short margin. Skibbsreen and Reddest botlt were weakly ridden at the finish. Mary Relle won the fifth from Pictor and Graphic, with Clara Martin, the favorite, running a dull race. PERFECT DAY FOR MR. C0E SPOILED; The disqualification of Over There from the Lawrence Realization spoiled a perfect day for- Mr; AV. R. Coe. Xobody regretted having to take action against the handsome English-bred colt more than the stewards, who were compelled to act under the rules, as the testimony of the patrol judges and jockeys Loftus and Ambrose proved thp: guilt of Fairbrother. Cleopatra, winner of the Champagne Stakes, cost Mr. Coe hB1,100 as a yearling wlten purchased -at the sale of yearlings from the stud of Mr. A. R. Han-cook. Mr. Hancock bought her dam Gallice abroad in foal to Corcyra, a son of Polymelus, and he now owns the matron. It is rare to have such luck as to secure two such fillies as Constancy and Cleopatra through" the medium of purchases abroad and the turf will be enriched by the presence of these young mares, after their racing days are over. Cleopatra is a genuine type of a stayer and may be hard to beat in the filly races over a considerable distance of ground in 1920. The stewards of the Steeplechase Association, Messrs. Aonstade, Page, Hull and Relmont, were dissatisfied with the cross-country race which was won by Rhomb and, after hearing the jockeys and two of the trainers, they gave orders to refuse the further entries of Reddest and suspended his rider. Rowan. They also referred the case of both jockey and horse to the National Steeplechase and Hunt Association for further action. Major Relmont, who was at the track for the first time this year, was greatly pleased with the size and character of the attendance. Mr. Coe was not at Relmont Park to see the Realization, being in AAyoming at his" ranch. Two dispatches were sent to him at Cody, one announcing the victory of Over There in the Realization and the other the news of the disqualification. Over There was one of the seventeen yearlings bought from tlie Sledmere Stud of Sir Mark Sykes two years ago and the disqualification will be a gre,at blow to Mr. Coe. It marked tlie first disqualification in the history of the Realization and is only paralleled by the disqualification of Craganour from the Epsom Derby some years ago. There is going to be quite a shortage of horses on the Long Island tracks, judging from a canvass of the stables at all the near-by courses. Evci since the opening at Relrriont Park secretary Reh-berger has had a hard time filling races, and at the close, of Relmont Park quite a number of horses here will move to Maryland. The stables at Aqueduct arc scarcely filled, though indications point Continued on second pace. FIRST BUT IS DISQUALIFIED Continued from first page. ,to a, few horse being reserved for that meeting, which wiU.-aiidi.to-.tliose.-racjng .here. Commander J. K. L. Ross horses have gone to Maryland and it looks as if S.. C. Hildreth will follow suit shortly. Soni6 of tlie" more wily trainers are going to stay here, especially those with second-class platers. Tjjirojyiortimitics of winning are much greater here than in llarylandthough the purses are less in ..value. Bj October the scarcity of horses will increase, for Laurel and its alluring purses and stakes will take nearly all the good horses away, leaving little for the October meetings at Jamaica and Empire City. There is a well authenticated rumor that one of the iuost prominent stables in operation here will change hands in the near future in its entirety. Geo. Carroll, who rode Orderly in yesterdays race, acErtunta fouUlie poor showing,. through .the horse being a trifle sore. "He ran a good race yesterday," said Carroll, "considering it was his first time out after a let up. He always needs a race or two before he is at his best." Gloria France was badly kicked when at the post by Neddam and went to the stable practically on three legs. Joseph McLennan, racing secretary of the Harford Agricultural and Breeders Association at Havre de.Gmcei Md.,. will return to Maryland tonight after spending several days at Belmont Park in the interest of his track. . unf laslVI, and Cirrus, two of the Hildreth second, division horses, have been shelved for the year. If form is any criterion the victory of Cleopatra in the Champagne Stakes gives Dominique a rare good chance in the Futurity. He beat her in a canter a few days ago, giving her ten pounds iii weight, at five and a half furlongs.
