Not in any of his six previous performances this season has the colt raced so impressively. In the minds of those privileged to see him carry Mrs. Isabel Dodge Sloanes Brookmeade Stable silks of white and blue to their second consecutive Classic victory, Cavalcade is not only the peer of three-year-olds, but one of the greatest thor- Joughbreds of all time. Once again Discovery proved Cavalcades faithful follower. Alfred Gwynne Vander-bilts colt, a probable champion in nearly any other year, again had to be content with second honors as he had to be in the Kentucky Derby and American Derby and close upon Cavalcades heels in the Chesapeake and Preakness Stakes. Finishing third in the mile and a quarter test, which had 0,325 as the winners share, was the Chicago owned Hadagal, sporting the Calumet Farm silks of Warren Wright. Norman Churchs Riskulus finished fourth and then followed J. W. Parrishs New Deal, H. W. Maxwells Growler, Parrishs Howard, Hal Price Headleys Thomasville and Good Goods, running mate of the champion. Cavalcade won the sixth running of the Classic by four lengths and he could have won by a greater margin as Mack Garner was easing up the English bred son of Lancegaye and Hastily as he flashed past the judges. Discovery had to be strongly ridden by jockey Joe Bejshak to stave off the courageous effort of Hadagal. The latter led the remaining starters with a decisive advantage. In demonstrating his superiority over the three-year-old division with more emphasis than ever before, Cavalcade ran the mile and a quarter in 2:02%, a second slower than the track record, and two-fifths of a second slower than the record for the race made by Mate in 1931. As he had so much reserve speed at the end, he probably could have bettered Mates mark and perhaps approached the track mark. Concessions of weight were made to all of Cavalcades eight foes, as he carried scale weight of 126 pounds. The trim brown colt, however, did not seem to mind that obstacle as he put on that famous rush of his in the final half mile after he had all but trailed the others for three-quarters. He was ready to move up to the leaders when Garner said the word approaching the far turn. Continued on fifteenth page. CAVALCADE TRIUMPHANT IN ARLINGTON CLASSIC Continued from first page. Garner had placed Cavalcade on the outside soon alter the start, even though the favorite began well. This gave him plenty of room to make his long strides. Midway on the back stretch Garner thought it was time for business, and slowly the champion moved forward, first leaving his stablemate, Good Goods, and Howard behind. Juveniles opened the program with a dash of five and one-half furlongs. This resulted in a mild surprise when Slim Rosie, overlooked in the wagering, came to the line of j finish half a length to the good, leading | home Kissinbug, Synod and five others. This j race provided a thrilling finish when the ; winner, after disposing of Lo, stood a long j drive gamely to hold Kissinbug in abeyance when she closed with belated speed. Jockey A. Tipton had a narrow escape from injury when Dundreary became unmanageable and straddled one of the stalls, and it was some time before the assistant starters extricated him from his perilous position. The youngster seemed none the worse for his experience. Another bristling finish resulted with the ; running of the second race, and, as in the opening dash, the distance separating the first two was half a length when Malolo outfinished T. C. Wordens Bonnie Marita, while third went to the aged Martie Flynn, which is still a veteran holding his own with younger rivals. As was expected, Malolo raced to the front but he failed to quit as was predicted. Instead he gave rather a game performance to i achieve his triumph and did this after en- I during a strenuous drive, which began at ! the approach to the stretch. Momentarily it j appeared as if Bonnie Marita would wear j him down, but his game response to punish- : ment held the Worden filly safe. Martie I Flynn, among the prominent throughout, j gave his usual courageous effort to garner the third award. Infinity gave a rather disappointing performance, failing to reach contention at any time. The green and tangerine colors of William Sachsenmaier of Atlantic City were carried to a well-earned triumph in the third number, when Cabezo came within two-fifths of a second of equalling the track record. Carrying 114 pounds, the son of Car-laris sped over the three-quarters in 1:10% and finished his engagement one length and a half in front of the speedy Gift of Roses, which downed the well-backed Broad Meadows for second place. Pryor, a reported good thing, went to the front at the start, attaining a commanding lead during the first quarter and continued well to the approach to the stretch, where Gift of Roses overhauled him, but her stay in the lead was brief, for Cabezo, which had moved up on the turn, dashed into the lead, then drew away fast in the final strides. The Manor Purse, for two-year-olds and one of the most attractive of the eight events, went to the Rookwood Farms Albuquerque in the fast time of 1:05],5, under an impost of 113 pounds. Special Agent, a colt from the Brookmeade Stable and held at short odds, raced to second place, two and one-half lengths behind the winner, while third went to the lightly regarded Mrs. Fab, which carried the Everglade Stable colors into that position, one and one-half lengths back and four in front of Vicaress, which finished the five and one-half furlongs in fourth place. The winner, in command from the start, sped along under steady restraint and so dazzling was his speed that Mrs. Fab, which set out to offer strong contention, was unable to get to him and when on the turn Albuquerque increased his lead considerably and won easily. After chasing the victor to j the stretch, Mrs. Fab found the task too strenuous and dropped back to give way to | Special Agent, but he, too, was lacking in ability when the real test came. . Sprinters of the better grade met in the fifth, which brought about another thrilling finish when J. G. Goodwins Chartres, under a powerful ride by the veteran Earl Steffen, reached the end of the one mile journey half a length to the good. Noahs Pride, which offered the strongest contention during the closing stages, finished second, and third went to T. C. Wordens temperamental Repaid, while Nocturnlabe, Technocracy, General Parth and Aladdins Dream finished in the named order. The Peconic Stables General Parth, which was installed a strong favorite, turned in a rather dull performance when, after beginning slowly, he failed to reach contention and was well beaten at the end. The winner, I away rapidly, set a rather fast pace, while Nocturnlabe raced in the runner-up position, j with Repaid beating the others. As Nocturnlabe dropped back going to the half, j Repaid challenged the leader but could not make appreciable gain until the stretch, ! where he did get on even terms, and it appeared as if he was going to dispose of I Chartres, but the latter rallied to the strong j riding of E. Steffen, while Wright subjected Repaid to severe punishment, from which he seemed to sulk and, after failing to wear down Chartres, he subsequently gave way to Noahs Pride, which finished with belated speed.
