VANDERBILT COLT TRIUMPHS • -_ Tiffin Easily Outruns Platers in Feature at Aqueduct. ♦ Morning Rain Affects Footing and Results In Many Withdrawals — Snsan Ilinehart First Winner. • ■-• % AQUEDUCT, N. Y.. June 29.— The heavy rain that fell during the morning had its effect on the racing furnished by the Queens County Jockey Club at Aqueduct today. In the first place, it was a program that was featureless and the change in track conditions brought about several withdrawals There was a good crowd on hand and there was plenty of interest shown. The race that occupied the feature position on the program was not much. It was a mile race for platers and it saw Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilts Tiffin an easy winner from Phillip H. Deins Kinkajou, with R. Newmans Always the one to sr.ve third place. There was not much to the running, for Tiffin was so much the best that he quickly went into a long lead and was at no time threatened. He always outran the others and was second well into the stretch, where he began to tire, and Callahan had to hurry to make sure he would kee; his mount going to share in the purse. Kinkajou showed a liking for the soft going and raced well to be second, three lengths back of the winner, but a greater distance before Always. It was an excellent finish that came out of the opening five-eighths dash for plater juveniles, when P. H. Faulconers Susan Rinehart beat home the Sagamore Stables Bozo with Bud Fisher s Sportin. Grit a close third. In this the conditions called for jockeys who had not ridden twenty-five winners and it was E. Watters who added one more to his list of winning rides. The race was also another score fo. the Virginians, Susan Rinehart being sent to the post by Dr. J. P. Jones. She forced the pace throughout and, while not able to draw Continued on twenty-fourth page. VANDERBILT COLT TRIUMPHS Continued from first page.l away from the others, she hung on with excellent courage to be the winner. Both Bozo and Sporting Grit were racing for-wardly all the way and were the only ones to offer real contention. A disappointment of the running was Clatter, which was never able to get to the leaders. Soult, from the Carlton Stable, was an easy winner of the three-quarters dash, which was second on the program. This promised well before the changed track conditions brought a field of eleven down to four. Of the quartet Single Star was the only one that gave the winner any semblance of a contest. The pair of them quickly drew away into a good lead and shortly thereafter Soult shook the filly off and went out into a long • lead. McCoy saved ground in the stretch and just rated his mount along in front. Inside the eighth post Rose went to the whip on Single L.ar in a vain effort to catch the winner, but the filly swerved sharply to the inside back of Soult and she was still two lengths back of him at the end. Anthony, after racing third throughout, was eight lengths further back, while Don-etta, a big son of Donnacona, starting for the first time, was eased up in last place after he had been outrun from the start and then had run out badly in the stretch. The third race, at a mile, for non-winners of two races, fell to Sambeau, from the B. B. Stable, when he forced the pace throughout and ougamed Fire Watch, from the Fair Stable, with P. S. P. Randolphs Larson finishing third. Fire Watch was rated close to the winner all the way, and Sallys Hour showed a good flight of speed to the head of the stretch, where she tired and dropped badly out of the running. Larson saved ground on the stretch turn and closed with a good burst of speed, showing a decided liking for the going. Supersede threatened for an instant in the stretch run, but the last sixteenth saw the first three battling along well before all others. The five-eighths dash for juveniles, which was the fifth offering, brought together a nice band and resulted in a surprise when Chatford, a son of Chatterton and Balm, which races for Dave Lederer, was winner for A. C. Schwartz King at Arms, while Samuel Ross Grey Coat was third over the Green tree Stables Comstockery. Chatford had the inside position at the barrier and, showing a decided liking for the going, dashed into a good lead and was never headed. Both King at Arms and Comstockery were going well at the end, but the first named was in rather close quarters and tired under the drive. Scalawag was a bit unfortunate at the break and could never reach a contending position, and Sun Hatter, after leaving the post in good style, was in close quarters and did not have a fair racing chance. Twelve of the cheapest set inw together in the mile race at the end of the OftriL This fell to Johnny Campbell, from the Norman Stable. He forced all the pace, but was tiring ~nd bearing out badly at the end, but lasted long enough to beat Joseph Shallecks Melmor, which had been second virtually all the way and a contender at all times. P. S. P. Randolphs Star King proved good enough to heat the others. Jockey GL Kummer has been released by Max Ilirsch from his contract. Hirsch stated thai Kummer failed to keep himself in proper physical condition.
