after ¬ noon The course was deep in mud mudThis This was the first appearance of the year for the Kilmer champion and a final prepa ¬ ration for his engagement in the Queens County Handicap at Aqueduct Wednesday The track condition was evidently against the chances of the son of Sun Briar and his race should do a good deal in fitting him for his Wednesday engagement in which he will be the top weight with 127 pounds poundsThe The day was miserable for the sport just as it has been for many of the Belmont Park days Rain fell all afternoon and after the downpoilr of the night before the track was deep in mud This condition resulted in many scratches and a program that gave promise of having some unwieldly fields was pruned down materially materiallyIn In the Sysonby Purse the race which went to Caruso arid incidentally the first victory of the year for the Coe threeyearold the two left at the first attempt though Coltiletti took a shade the worst of it with Sun Beau Fator at once took a good hold of Caruso and he was content to rate him along Coltiletti had Sun Beau at his heels and the big bay was going well but it was soon apparent that Caruso could draw away at the first asking askingGoing Going to the stretch turn Fator shook up the threeyearold and he drew away with little trouble In the stretch Sun Beau gained some ground but was beaten by a length and a half although Fator could easily have increased the winning margin marginA A promised field of twenty platers in the last race was cut to six by scratches be ¬ fore post time This was over one mile and a sixteenth and it was George De Mar that was first home when he outgamed Sanford in a stretch drive E R Bradleys Night Signal saved third In the stretch Coltiletti crossed over sharply with San ford
