MYRTLE SELLING TO RALCO Wins Chief Aqueduct Race for Is lip Stable and Changes Owners Rose Brigade and Thunderclap ThunderclapMake Make It Double for Rancocas RancocasStable Stable Day of Mile Races NEW YORK N Y June 27 There have been few as honest race hortes for his capacity in Amer ¬ ican racing of the year 1921 as the Islip Stables Rock View colt Ralco There are but few horses in the Islip Stable trained by B Littlefield the skilled Canadian son of a skilled Canadian father fatherThe The elder Littlefield sent many a fit horse to the races Ralcos consistency is attributed to his sons skill The form of Ralco in eight races this spring has been staunch and true The colt has always been in keen contention except the one race a few days ago when Uoyce Rools won and in which Ensor with Jock Scot roughed and impeded Rnleo Littlefield was fond of his honest race horses Ralco won Mondays Aqueduct chief race the 3525 Myrtle Selling Stakes in gallant fashion He beat Valor the heavjly backed Rancocas Stable favorite favoriteRalco Ralco was a better horso today than Valcr and ran the mile and won under keen pressure all the way in fast time He clearly outgamed and honestly beat Valor in the fighting rush Sam Hildreth the Uaneocas trainer bid Ralco up from 3000 to 8000 and became his owner ownerSelling Selling races are for horse purchase and rules are rules But Hildrcths act was hardly gracious Valor was entered fof 3000 was estimated by his owner to be best was backed as best but was beaten This is where some of the unfairness of wealths pressure came in The bludgeon of the dollar isnt a sportsmanlike tool Hildreth has had the bludgeon less graciously tried on him over Rose Brigade winner of the first race and been taxed 2000 for her winning privilege On top of that the defeat of Valor came costly Thus en ¬ tered perhaps the fancy for a handy tool and Ralco was acquired He could have well stayed in the Islip Stable StableThe The gathering of all good horses in sight through the weight of casli is not healthy for racing It iuses some unbalancing of turf tools in the racing field to gather all the winners under one barn roof Such gatherings sort of spill the beans and leave the re t of the mechanics unable to offer the neces ¬ sary competition in the sport Notion and cash used in too much sharp acquirement may be less than healthy healthyMYRTLE MYRTLE A FINE RACE RACETlK TlK Myrtle Selling Stakes race was a fine one There were only two real contenders over its mile of ground Tin stable used its weight over Valors odds The public stood by Ralco The pair were off in front and ran away from the other six as they should have done Valor led gaily for nearly threequarter with Ralco at his heels Then the battle began Ralco generously closed on Clar ince Kummers demand got to Valor sent Sande to the use of his significant scourge raced with him ti the eighth post and gradually drawing away won by a length Both horses were all out No wonder The going was dead anl dully cushioned yet tiie quarter had been run in 23 this half in 47 thn threequarters In 112 and the mile in 138 Thats fast racing for ftich horses second class in capacity on such a track and under such wiights Ballet Dancer II was third five lengths behind Valor She and the rest doing their best were not able to keep up upThe The Rancocas green and white won two races one before and one after the defeat of Valor The nice filly Rose Brigade raced as her mother used ti race in tiie old days and won Tnpiola was fast and a fine Rice mare but often a deceiver Rose Brigade is indifferently honest But she is a fe ¬ male and females are rather brittle Rose Brigades race was the first at fireeighths out of the chute under selling weights Well backed and away in the first flight Tapiolas daughter was always fast ¬ est took the lead on the crook of the course and beat Lady Delhi Kirtle Glonbells and Co as she chose It was a lead in for the lawnsters and suspected suspectedThe The second Rancocas success came out of the fifth race in which Thunderclap had to meet and beat such drab opponents as Diomedes Copper Demon and Elected II in the Africander Handicap at a mile There seemed to be a notion in Aque iluot wise corners that Thunderclap leans toward sprinting merely His past denies it At any rate lie wasnt the decided favorite lie should have been in such company Diomedes was thought to have a chance to beat him Thunderclap off fast won all the way eased to a gallop to win by eight lengths from Copper Dt mon which tried hard to catch him Elected II which tried harder to catch the mctallician and Diomedes the doldrums of last place trying still harder to catch Elected II There was so much catching to the race that the burly Bubo Ruth on the lawn must have considered himself in the right pew pewHUMMERS HUMMERS BADLY JUDGED RIDE RIDEIt It was an afternoon of mile races would there were morp mile races Racing nowadays runs too much toward scratching and sprints Horses are not sent out for miles or trained for miles more the pity The second race on the card was at A mile and was a cheap and shabby one Only Sporting Blood Dimmesdale and Faunus came out for it Sporting Blood was the natural and over ¬ whelming choice and while he should have walked in Clarence Kummcr laid him away from no pace a half mile in 49 by Dimmesdale and had to hustle him at the cud after a rest up the stretch ro beat the Wilson colt by a mere head It was a badly judged piece of riding ridingSprinters Sprinters of little or no account were in the third
