Todays attendance was considerably augmented by the advance guard to witness tomorrows running of the Kentucky Special. There were no particular features carded, but several incidents enlivened the proceedings. The third race brought with it a disqualification and the near injury of jockey Pool. The latter was astride Dernier Sou, a highly regarded one, and was the victim of J. Grun-eisens rough riding, causing him to fall heavily at the first turn. Gruneisen had the mount on Beg Pardon and he caused a bad jam at the first turn when he cut across in front of the others sharply. The mix-up enabled Beg Pardon to go into a good lead and he ultimately lasted to beat Marine Corps, with Randel in third place. In addition to Dernier Sou suffering by the mix-up at the first turn, Atta Boy II. also was jammed about and cut on the hind legs. He did well under the circumstances to finish fourth. Immediately after the finish the stewards instructed the placing judges to order down the numbers of the original finish, and after interrogating jockey Gruneisen, they announced Beg Pardons disqualification and gave the race to Marine Corps ; Randel was moved into second place and Atta Boy IL received third money. The decision met with popular favor. MAINSPRING FAILS. The running of the second race, in which twelve maiden two-year-olds engaged, also brought in its wake a fall, with jockey Heu-pel astride Mainspring the victim. Luckily the rider escaped serious injury. The Audley Farm Stables Pegasus, which in a preceding race gave a sparkling exhibition, performed again impressively and took another good band of short-distance cracks into camp. He had to be much the best and ran in a kindly mood to win this afternoon, for he was in serious trouble during the first three-eighths through inability to get out of the pocket he was in, but Gamer took a desperate chance of taking him back to go around and he succeeded in the last seventy yards. Alice Blue Gown showed fine speed and might have stolen the race had McCoy been a bit more alert and prepared for Pegasus strong rush. The opening race provided a spirited duel of four, with Ten Sixty the winner by inches from Sympathy and Easter Bells, Centimeter following the trio in close order. The quartet put up a rousing battle all during the last eighth, with the winner in doubt until the final stride. ANOTHER FOR B It ABLET. E. R.
