The four-year-old gelded son of Stimulus and Chickasaw, owned by John F. Clark, Jr., of New Orleans, won the Carter by a length over George D. Wideners Sation, the top weight among the six starters with 132 pounds, and the favorite. Clangs impost was 110 pounds. The Howe Stables Cycle was another length and a half away in third position, with Alfred Vanderbilts Good Gamble at his heels. Good Harvest and Observant completed the field. Showery weather held down the attendance, but the track, although designated as sloppy, was faster than it has been at any time during the meeting because the rain packed down the sand. Until the official timer corrected himself, it seemed that Clang was to go into the records as co-holder with Naturalist of the track record as 1:23 was flashed on the result board. This was changed to the correct time of 1:24. The Carter had a net value of ,200 for the winner, and was the richest event ever won by the New Orleans speedster.

CLANG BEATS SATION Continued from first page. the guidance of Eddie Litzenberger, Clang came from behind Cycles pace in the stretch to stave off the late bid of Sation which, due to his impost, was handled under waiting tactics. Good Gamble had a step at-the start and set the pace down the backstretch, but around the turn, Cycle moved up to take command entering the stretch. Observant was third during the opening three furlongs, but as the field swept into the stretch Litzenberger called on Clang, and the Stimulus gelding advanced rapidly to be at Cycles heels at the furlong pole. Good Gamble in the meantime had weakened. In the ensuing sixteenth, Clang overtook Cycle, but Sation was charging on the outside, and Litzenberger kept after his mount to keep him in the lead by a length to the end. Sation had only Good Harvest beaten until, reaching the stretch, where he advanced" slowly on the outside, despite Johnny Gilberts vigorous handling. Cycle held on sufficiently to have no trouble in finishing third over the tiring Good Gamble, as .Good Harvest and Observant failed to participate in the important stretch running.
