TRIPLE FOR LOUCHHEIM ♦ i Bouquet Claiming Stakes Numbered Among His Days Triumphs. • , Uncovered Stages Brilliant Finish to, Account for Outstanding Feature at Nassau County Course. . 1 NEW YORK. N. Y., June 4.— Uncovered, the juvenile son of Wise Counsellor, which races for J. H. Louchheim, was winner of the special feature of the Westchester Association at Belmont Park today, when he scored in the Bouquet Claiming Stakes. It had a net value of ,525 to the winner, and the victory marked three in a row for the winner, and the race chalked up a triple for the Louchheim colors. The finish in the Bouquet Stakes was one of the best of the day, when Uncovered had only a head advantage over John J. Robinsons Renaissance, and Mrs. Lucile B. Harris Cambal was lapped on the pair of them, while right at their heels came Dexterity and Porgie, all closely lapped. After the finish Uncovered, which had been entered at a valuation of ,000, was claimed by G. H. "Pete" Bostwick, the amateur jockey. With delightful racing weather and the track at its best, there was a large crowd out, and the entertainment was delightful. ELEVEN IN FIELD. Eleven went to the post for the Bouquet Stakes, with Uncovered drawing the inside stall, the post position, least to be desired in the race through the Widener course. The start was a good one, and George Rose had the winner off quickly, but he was soon headed by Renaissance and Porgie, which were racing further out from the raiL Emancipate was a close fourth, and then came Cambal. Uncovered was racing straight and true next to the rail, and he gradually wore down the leaders, but it was not until right at the end that he dropped his head down in front. Porgie had tired under punishment, but Renaissance hung on well, though Cambal came with a rush that would probably have seen him second in a few more strides. J. H. Louchheims Try Some, a son of Try-ster and Some Bird, ran a greatly improved race over a previous effort when he was an easy winner over the maiden juveniles that made up the opening dash at four and a half furlongs. Dominating all the running he was at no time seriously threatened to beat H. C. Phipps Ever by four lengths and Mrs. S. C. Hildreths Bud DAile was a close third before Jolly Pilot, an Audley Farm Stable starter. STEEPLECHASE TO PROWLER. Joseph E. Wideners Prowler won his first race through the field when under a clever ride by F. Bellhouse. he scored in the short course Jimmy Lane Steeplechase. Ralph Beaver Strasburgers The Ace II. finished second, with Rigan McKinney riding his Nat Clyman into third place. There were seven starters and the only one that failed to complete the course was G. H. "Pete" Bostwicks Lochshee. This old gelding was so badly lamed in the running that Mr. Bostwick pulled him up before a turn of the field had been completed. Omar Romar was the one to cut out the early pace, but McGovern sent The Ace II. right after him and he carried the son of Omar Khayyam along at a clip that put him away when the lower end of the field was reached. Bellhouse was rating Prowler along back of this pace and Rigan McKinney followed with Nat Clyman, while Banner Day was also fairly close to the pace. In the back field Thorndyke made hi3 move with Banner Day, but the son of Behave Yourself made a bad landing and he lost a stirrup iron. This cost considerable ground and ruined all winning chance. In the meantime Bellhouse had moved into second place with Prowler and he was waiting back of The Ace II. Nat Clyman had headed the tired Omar Romar and Crenalan was far back. Through the front field Prowler gradually wore down The Ace II. and was first over the final fence. There Bellhouse roused his mount sharply with the whip to make the victory certain and he crossed the line first by five lengths. The Ace II. had beaten Nat Clyman almost a like distance and Crenalan. which was fourth, was twenty lengths away. There was a disqualification in the Ethel-bert High-Weight Handicap. This was a six furlong race through the Widener Course . — — — i. Continued on twenty-first page. TRIPLE FOR LOUCHHEIM Continued from first page. and after Eddie Ahearn, from the CatawbtH Stable had finished second to the Rancocas Stables Mowris, he was set back for fouling and Joseph E. Wideners Priory was moved into second place, with third being awarded Robert L. Gerrys Straying. It was Straying that had been interfered with by Leish-man on Eddie Ahearn and on the report of the patrol judges the jockey was suspended for three days. And this was not the only untoward happening in the handicap, for C. V. Whitneys Halcyon, highly considered before the race, would not leave his stall at the start and was left at the post. Straying and Mowris were the ones to force the pace and then as Eddie Ahearn came into the contention and knocked the Gerry filly back, Mowris drew away to gallop home the winner by half a dozen lengths. Priory had swerved badly, first in and then out, and at the end he was not persevered with by Garner to be beaten by a length and a half for second place, which he later obtained through the ruling of the stewards. The start decided the finish in the one mile race for three-year-olds that was the fifth when E. R. Bradleys Blind Bowboy was really the only horse to get away. He had such a big advantage that the remainder did not have even a remote chance to catch him, while Jamison, a natural contender, was last in the strung out order. Danour, which began second, finished second, but six lengths back of the winner, while Caplin, beginning with Danour, beat By-Pass II. for third. Bathorse, the stable-mate of the winner, was back with Jamison at the start and the pair of them might as well have been in the stable for any chance they enjoyed. When Grey Coat was winner of the mile and a quarter race at the end of the program it meant that the J. H. Louchheim silks were victorious in just half of the card, and Clarence Buxton shared in the triple by sending out each winner, with Ca-trone scoring a double. Catrone rated Grey Coat back of the pace to the stretch, where he readily ran past Alcman to lead him home by three lengths. Alcman was five lengths before Sign Off, which got up to beat Symbol, the pacemaker, by half a length for the short end of the purse. A
