TRIPLE FOR W R. COE STABLE ♦ Creech Saddles, Peterson Rides Three Winners at Jamaica. • Oar don City raimintr Stakes, Final Day Feature, Is Won Easily by P. J. Maseias Jack Blener. 1 ■ NEW YORK, N. Y., May 16.— The W. R. Coe stable was very much in the limelight during the final day of the Jamaica spring meeting and scored a triple, with Sweep Out, Caruso and Passe. The trio was saddled by trainer Creech and ridden by jockey V. Peterson. The feat was almost marred by the over-confidence of Peterson when he guided home Passe, winner of the fifth race Of the card. In this event Passe had disposed of Broom-staff, the early pacemaker, and drew away into a commanding lead. Peterson glanced back over his shoulder and failed to see that Merry Andrew, racing for W. T. Andrson, was moving up stoutly on the outside. He realized his danger in the final seventy yards and got his mount going again to stave off the challenge and at the end had a length margin. Merry Andrew had nothing to fear from Patrol, from the Belair Stud, which finished a distant third. The first success of the Coe stable came with the consistent Sweep Out in the first race. This victory was followed by that of the juvenile Caruso, and the series wound lip with Passe. The start in the fifth was a good one and Broomstaff displayed a high flight of early Speed and drew away easily. Passe raced along after him while Chester was finding trouble in getting into his stride and was badly outrun. Broomstaff began to shorten his stride rounding the far turn and midway to the stretch turn Passe moved into the lead. The Coe starter quickly assumed a long lead, and gladdened the hearts of his supporters. It was then that Petersons over-confidence almost shattered the triple. Merry Andrew came around the leaders entering the stretch and at the end was going strong, while Patrol, which in the early running was back, finished strong to be a good third. EASY VICTORY. The Garden City Claiming Stakes, which was offered as the feature of the final days racing, resulted in an easy victory for P. J. Maseias Jack Biener. Fair Man, racing for T. M. Cassidy. finished second, while the Wheatley Stables Blustery was third. A field of six faced the starter in here, with the winner the one most in demand. The start was a good one and Brice rushed Jack Biener into command and had no trouble in showing the way to the others rounding the first turn. Blustery raced along after him with Gormand and Fair Man lapped on each other and Gadalong bringing UP the rear. When straightened out on the back stretch Jack Biener drew away steadily and was then taken in hand again. Blustery made a determined but futile bid rounding the turn and then dropped back, while Fair Man, responding to pressure, closed some ground. Through the short stretch Jack Biener had more than enough left and at the end had a safe advantage over Fair Man, which, in turn, had a wider margin over the tired Blustery. The victory completed a double for Brice. who previous rode Turf Idol. The Garden City was at a mile and a sixteenth and it was worth ,975 to the winning owner. Unsettled weather conditions prevailed and a sharp downpour altered track conditions previous to the running of the first race. The Crowd was well up to the average and on the Whole interesting racing prevailed. SIXTH TRIUMPH. W. R. Coes three-year-old Sweep Out continued her winning ways and scored her sixth victory when she easily led home a small field of sprinters over the three-quarter route. W. H. Karricks Single Star was the one to race to second place while W. M. Moores Stretcher was third. The winner was ridden by Peterson and dominated the race throughout. She displayed good speed in the going and at no stage was in serious trouble. Single Star, the one to race in closest pursuit throughout, was bearing in badly in the final eighth and in an effort to keep her straight Fator was forced repeatedly to Snatch her up. Stretcher finished well and was an easy third. The Coe Stable completed a double when the juvenile Caruso showed the way to a small band of two-year-olds. He was ridden by Peterson, who also shared in the double. H. P. Whitneys Moonstruck was the one to finish second, while Mrs. L. Viaus recent acquisition. Fix It, was third. The start was a good one and it was Fix It that raced into command. His advantage was brief, for Peterson sent Caruso into the lead with a rush. He opened up a safe lead but in the Stretch began to loaf and was shaken up then to draw away. Moonstruck improved his position steadily, shook off Fix It with ease, but could not get to the winner, while the latter had scant trouble in saving the minor portion of the purse from Wu, which tired badly at the end. The first success of the James Butler stable came in the third race, which was a dash of a mile and seventy yards for platers, the conditions of which called for kindergarten riders. Turf Idol was winner by a big margin over Boyish Bob, with Chclero third. The winner was ridden by D. Brice and followed the early pace closely. He moved up to Boyish Bob in the stretch and was kept under pressure to the finish. Boyish Bob raced Pop Bell into early defeat and out-Stayed Chiclero, which finished resolutely at the end. W. C. Clancey saddled the winner of the fin rlaaec of the meeting in Ceylon Prince, Which scored easily over Westovers Ibby uad Last Carge. The winner was the sixth choice of the day. *
