HASTE WINS FAIRMOUNT DERBY BY A NOSE » Peerless Earl Sande Big Factor in Success of J. E. Widener Colt » Bagenbaggage and Boot to Boot, the E. R. Bradley Entry, Finish Second and Third — Tremendous Crowd Thrilled by Wonderful Contest * . COLLINS VIPLE, III., June 19.1. E. Wideners Haste, bay son of Maintenant— Misa Malaprop, and ridden by jockey Earl Sande, won the inaugural running of the Kairmount Derby, by a nose, from Bagenbaggage, coupled with Boot to Boot, from the Idle Hour Karm Stable. He ran under restraint until turning for home, where he took command, but had to be driven hard to outstay Bagenbaggage. which came with a rush after also running under restraint Bagenbaggage went wide at all turns and just failed to get up to win. Boot to Boot, the other Bradley entry, took command at the start and retired after the run ."or home was reached. Rock Man ran a good three-quarters and retired when the real test came. Dr. Cardenas, the other starter, followed the others for the entire route. Haste established a new track record when he negotiated the mile arrd a eiuarter in 2:0.".7r.. :® Amidst a scene that beggars description. the Kairmount inaugural Derby running terminated with Haste and Bageuhaggage so closely aligned that the official placing was necessary to determine the result. The judges gave the award to Haste. Hoot to Koot, stable companion to P.agenb igg.ige, finished in third place, with Rock Man and Dr. Cardenas trailing. The Widener representative was a luckv victor, but deserved his success. He was ridden in superb style, and it was a factor in his victory. He raced close up from tin-start and. when called on. readily disposed of Root to Hoot and took command, hut he was forced out to the last ounce to just manage to l eat home I5a;"t nbaggage. The latter was kept a considerable distance off the pace in the early stages, and only when Hoot to Root seemed to have shot his bolt did Rlind begin driving with desperation. He sent his mount on with terrific spe d during the stretch, only to miss getting up by a matter of an inch or so. One Stride beyond the finish Pagenbagiiage had flashed by Haste. BOOT TO BOOT FAILS. It is probably unfair to charge Blind with riding a faulty race. Riding orders probably brought about Pagenbaggages failure-. Owner Rradley was eager to register the vie-! or v with Root to Poot. Hi- made this known before the race, but made no declaration of it. no declaration hems necessary. With Hoot lo Re ots winning in iew. is was natural that Rlind should keep Bagenbaggage under restraint and considerably in the rear, so as not to jeopardize Boot to Poofs success, if he was in a position to attain it. Haste was too powerful for Boot to ISoot and upset the calculations of a sentimental Derby victory for the COM that has he en trailing Pagcnbaggage in all his Derby st r-i.-i. There is no intent to detract in lit- sliglit-est from Hastes succ-e-ss. He perfomi d in splendid style and deserved the laures One. however, could not fail to l «- i n-pressed that Hastes forte is not long dis- tance racing. He was thing steadily, badly in the last seventy yards and took a tired swerve, forcing Sande to OOS st urhipping him and straighten him. I he last strides he held gamely to his 1 tst. I! ot to Boot showed fine speed and vet a swift pace, so fast in fact tiiat it f. r sd Beck Man to cease he-ir-.g a factor before three-quarters of the mil.- and a quarter journey had keen traversed.
