TREY FURNISHES UPSET Carries Audley Farm Colors to Arlington Park Victory. Defeats Count Rae, Constant Wife and Other Good Youngsters Favorites Fare Well. ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, 111., July 28. The Audley Farm, nom de course of Bernard B. Jones, one of Americas outstanding patrons and breeders, provided the winner of the best race on todays program at Arlington Park when Trey scored over the Calumet Farms Count Rae, Dixianas Constant Wife and six other two-year-olds, among which were the highly held Greentree Stable pair of Spy Hill and The Triumvir, in the Bunker Hill Purse. It was the semifinal program of the Arlington Park Jockey Club for the current season and offered under fine conditions, attracted the largest crowd of the week. Trey, an unsexed son of Sir Barton and Resting Time, and a product of his owners breeding establishment at Berryville, Va., was allowed to go to. the post at slightly better than 13 to 1, but despite lack of public confidence in the rangy bay, he came through in his best fashion and running the five and one-half furlongs in 1:06, scored by three-quarters of a length over Count Rae, with Constant Wife only a head away from the Calumet colt. The winner, ridden by the veteran, Willie Fronk, was close after Risky Miss as she showed the way in the early furlongs and when urged in the stretch slowly made his way to the front. As the victor continued on to the finish in steady fashion. Count Rae which was last out of the stalls and trailed to the stretch, came cut of the bunch with a whirlwind rush an.l was up for second over Constant Wife, within a stride or two of the end. Faltering in the final eighth, Risky Miss drove to the finish a length in the wake of Constant Wife and a 1-alf length in front of Spy Hill, which like his stable Continued on. twenty-second page.

Surety, winner of the seventh race, was another favorite to win and his initial success was scored in the most decisive fashion ; of the day. Glove took second and Ac-tuarius was third. A dull effort by Dark , Law, the second choice, marked the long and rather uninteresting contest. In the fifth race patrons found their judgment, as indicated by the betting, widely at fault. In this, the Jack Howard stable, which was trying for its second triumph in consecutive races, furnished the choice in Louie Dear and, while he came through with a good performance, he bowed to- the suddenly improved Fiddler, which raced for A. Pelleteri, and Rusty. Only a nose cost the favorite second place, but Fiddler, having one of his good days, romped away with the honors by two lengths and the few who backed him received 5.44 for each straight. Eight comprised the field and the three final leaders held the leading positions throughout. The Greentree Stables Barkantine graduated from the maiden ranks when she won over ten other two-year-olds at five and one-half furlongs in the first race. She was a strong second choice to Saracen Maid, which finished third, the place award going to Long Bit. The winner, a daughter of Bostonian and Maracaibo, overcame a considerable loss of ground and after sprinting past the early leaders on the stretch turn, appeared a certain winner until Long Bit, which began slowly and finished with a rush, furnished a mild threat near the end. In retaining a clear margin over Long Bit, the winner, ridden by Coucci, was briskly shaken up in. the last sixteenth where Saracen Maid, which was a prominent factor throughout, tired and only saved third by a nose from Ytfin. The consistent Timorous, ridden by F. Springer in Mrs. A. M. Creechs colors and the favorite, easily turned back After Dark, Le Bruyere and nine other three-year-olds in the second race. This was decided over three-quarters and after following Le Bruy-eres pace to the stretch, the winner quickly asserted her superiority. Drawing clear quickly after she had wrested the lead from Le Bruyere, the winner was safe from After Dark, which finished in resolute fashion and took second a length and one-half back and by as much of a margin over Le Bruyere. The latter quit badly after five furlongs and only a head gave him the minor honors over Kummel. Volta Maid scored another for the more fancied in the third race for which eight comprised the field. She won easily with Blackstrap racing to second place over March King and the others. Blackstrap was defeated by four lengths and was only a neck better than March King. As a result of stumbling shortly after leaving the post, Gunfire played no prominent part in the contest. The winner was furnished by L. M. Severson, Chicago owner and also had Springer in the saddle. Under a particularly skilful and strong ; ride by Charles Corbett, Don Manuel, the useful juvenile son of Bostonian that races 5 for Jack Howard, scored his fourth victory in eight starts when he defeated Mumsie, Le Miserable and three others of his age at three-quarters in the third race. Although the winner made every attempt to swerve, Corbetts hands, heels and lash kept him at his task and, coming past Cloud DOr and Mumsie in the final quarter, he got up to win by three-quarters of a length over the latter, which in turn was a length and one-half in the van of Le Miserable at the finish. Don Manuels victory was the fourth in as many races for the favorites.
