THREE HORSES IN A FALL Dunboyne One of Them and Limps After the Accident. Abadane Easy Winner of Amsterdam Stakes The Porter Takes His Race. i rr n RY .7. L. DEMPSEY. SARATOGA, X. Y., August 30. A spectacular fall, luckily devoid of any serious results, came in the last thirty yards of the fifth race, and three horses with their jockeys piled in a heap, giving the occupants of the grandstand much coa-cern for the safety of the fallen riders. The fall came as a result of War Marvel, in second place and fighting it out with War God, swerving rind interfering with the latter. In his effort to save himself caroming into the fence, Robinson on War God attempted to take him back, and in doing so must have caused the horse to cross his legs and fall. Dunboyne, nearest to him with Schuttinger up. was unable to steer clear of the prostrate horse and somersaulted over him, to be followed soon by Turner on Pilgrim. Schuttinger and Robinson quickly scrambled to their feet and instinctively rolled under the fence. Turner was only semiconscious for a time, but succeeded after a while in walking to the jockeys quarters, where examination showed him to have sustained a torn shoulder ligament and shaking up generally. He will be out of the saddle for at least a week. Dunboyne got up limping, but the other horses were seemingly none the worse for their -tumble.. The f.tewnrds immediately began interrogating jockey Rodriguez and later sent for Robinson. After haying the statements of the two riders who figured chiefly in bringing about the fall the stewards disqualified War Marvel and gave Salvcstra second place and Red Red Rose third. Roth had been beaten off, but by virtue of avoiding the fallen ones, coupled with the disqualification, secured a portion of the purse. Lion dOr, the winner, was in front after displacing Dunboyne on the stretch turn and was winning easily when the fall came. Probably due to a belief that a muddy track would be the rule this afternoon on account of , rains during the night, the different dashes were reduced by withdrawals to small numbers, but, cpn-75 l- 7 trary to expectations, the going was firm and fast XC"L time came in those dashes where the better grade of horses started. v The Amsterdam Stakes at one mile under sell-ing conditions was intended as the feature, but was overshadowed by several of the other dashes, the mile handicap bringing together The Porter, Lunetta and Rridesman among the starters, displacing the stakes in point of interest. PURSES OF STAKE PROPORTIONS. A pro-rata division of the surplus fund accrued from Friday and Saturdays bidding up in selling claiming races: caused an increase to this afternoons purses commensurate to stake proportion. As a matter of fact, the ,950 net that the winner of the Amsterdam Stakes received was Tar less than any of the winners in tire other dashes received. The fourth and fifth races had the substantial sums of ,907.29 as their respective pur-:.? money and ,707.20 was allotted in each instance to the first, third and sixth race. Larry Walerburys Abadane, an overwhelming favorite, was returned the winner of the Amsterdam Stakes and his success was achieved in easy style, for he drew away from Elected II., the early pacemaker, with ease after rounding into the stretch. Elected II. had little difficulty in leading Mint Cat to the finish, with Manoevre following, far bacK. E. R. McLeans The Porter, which is rated -with the best and has been a starter here several times, finally managed to score the first purse he line taken down since his Kentucky victories. He showed fine form in keeping pace with the speedy Lunetta under restraint and drew away In the stretch when Lyke called on him to win as the rider pleased. Lunetta ran a good race to outstay Rridesman with ease for second place. Our Flag, carrying. W. S. Kilmers silks, showed a crack performance in the final race in taking the purse from Hildur, with Sedgefield in third place. Hildur and Pagan Pan set out as if they would distance tho others, but Pagan Pan soon gave Way and Ilildur appeared a certain winner after he reached the stretch, but Our Flag, having begun slowly, closed an immense gap and literally ran away from Hildur in the last sixteenth. Hildur staved off the threatening rush of Sedgefield and landed second place handily. FAUNUS FURNISHES UPSET. Joseph Marrones Faunus furnished an upset in ; the second race, which he won from Wedgwood 1 and Inglecrest. Chevalier and Rancocas absorbed the most betting attention here, but figured scantily in the running. Rancocas failure might have been due to his quarter mile runaway before the start, for he failed to show much speed. Faunus was en-; tered for ,500 and bid up to ,700, at which : figure he was sold to the Islip Stable. W. R. Tolmies Glen Well started the backers off in good style and incidentally graduated from the maiden ranks by an easy victory in the opener. Ernest A. was much the best of the others and led Locust Leaves in second place. J. O. Keene has decided to ship Miss Muffins, : Pagan Pan and the others he has to Lexington next Wednesday. The horses in charge of Roseoe Goose will go along with the consignment. An offer of 0,000, said to have been made for 1 Our Flag, was turned down by owner Kilmer this morning. Trainer Louis Feustel decided on shipping Mtjn o War to Relmont Park this afternoon. He had intended waiting until Wednesday, but the uncertainty in regard, to cars to ship in decided him to ship this afternoon. P. T. Chinn has secured a call on the services of I jockey C. Ponce for the remainder of the racing i season. t . ; : Continued an second THREE HORSES IN A FALL Continued from first pate. Louis Tauber. trainer of John W. Schorrs horses, was among the visitors here. The horses in his charge will be shipped to Kentucky after the close of the Devonshire Park, Windsor, meeting.
