ONLY A ROMP FOR PANUCO ♦ Displays Brilliant Speed in Speculation Claiming Handicap. ♦ Makes Every Post a W inning One in Featnie at New York — My Itrentwood Girl Juvenile Winner. NEW YORK. K. Y.. June 21.— T. H. McCreery added J. F. Byers imported four-year-old Panueo to the field for the Speculation Claiming Handicap at Aqueduct today and he ea.-ily led home a nice band of plate:.-; over the one mile route. Coin Collector, from the Sagamore Stable, raced to second place and it was the Greentree Stables Valorous that was third. The race had a net value of ,400 to Hm winner. The weather and track conditions were Ideal for the sport, but not satisfied with one of these miserable races in which riders who have never ridden fifteen winners were . only eligible, there was two of them. These races w»-re obnoxious to the public, but the Queens County Jockey Club continues to inflict them upon its patrons. There was some delay in the Speculation Claiming Handicap, caused principally by the bad actions of War Flier, and when the field left. Recreation was so slow to get away as to have no chance. Panueo left in good style and he showed sueh dazzling speed that he Boon opened up a long lead. He raced the first quarter in :22"-3 ; reached the three-eighths in :"4S ; the half in :4G% ; five-eighths in :38%. and the three-quarters in 1:12. rounding out the mile in 1:39 to be winner by four lengths. It was natural that such speed should take the outlander into a long lead and he had his opponents thoroughly beaten long before the stretch was reached. Coin Collector, a fast gilding himself, ran one of his good races and was always second without in any manner threatening the winner. Simba was racing close up wh--n he met with some interference and Mi Yida had rather a rough race, while Valorous reached third by finding his way through on the inside. Mi Vida came out of the race lame. GUAI PLAY BY HEAD. No time was lost at the post and the field left in good alignment. Sun Broom at once went out to set the pace. Fields was right after him with Clean Play and Justinian soon found his way into third. These three had the race among themselves all the way. Sun Broom held resolutely to the lead to the stretch and Bejshak had saved ground with him. It was a lively fight all through the final sixteenth and Clean Play gradually wore down Sun Broom to be winner by a head. It was a good finish that came out of the fifth race, framed for juveniles. Mrs. Graham Fair Vanderbilts Desert Light got up to beat the Belair Stables Peto. Gallant Fox, also bearing the silks of the Belair Stable, was third. There was an unusual delay at he post for which Dim Ray was largely to blame. Peto began from an outside position. but left fast and bore over, while Desert Light, on the inside, was crowded and bumped repeatedly. The second of the cheap races with the apprentices in the saddle was the third. Nat Kv-ns was pliiny best and it was utter incompetency of his rider that saw him beaten,. Hale, who has shown himself best of these riders, brought P. S. P. Randolphs Larson home winner over J. P. Jones Boyi.-h Bob and. as has been mentioned. Nat Evens, best of the company, was in third place. MY BRENTWOOD GIItL FIRST. The first race was a five-eighths dash for maiden juvenile fillies under claiming conditions. It brought about rather a good finish, with My Bn-ntwood Girl, from the Montalvo Stable, beating home John Speed Elliotts Dinahs Dimple, and Captain P. M. Walkers Brown Sinrvr saved third. Dinahs Dimple was the one to set the pace, but My Brentwood Girl was never far away. A length and a half further back Brown Sinner followed in third place and an eighth out she looked the winner, but tired badly under a drive. The second race was the first of the two of the afternoon in which only apprentices of scant riding ability were eligible to ride. It was for the cheapest sort of platers and, of course, did not add anything to its attractiveness as a spectacle. This proved easy for Belmona. She went Into a good early 1 -ad after racing Altimeter Into submission and was home winner by a good margin. Altimeter was ea.-ily best of the others and had no trouble in taking second place from Grand Bey. Rather a good band started in the Circus Handicap, the third race on the card. This brought about a good finish wh -n Mrs. V. M. Duncans Tfli Play, after having been away from the races since April at Bowie, outgamed Sun Broom, from the Sagamore Stable, to be home winner, with the Green-tree Stables Justinian in third place. It was a first class performance for Clean Play.
