H. JACOBS , ESTABLISHES NEW TRAINING M RECORD SADDLES 148 WINNERS Surpasses C. B. Irwins Mark of 147, Made in Year 1923. Wise Wills Triumph in Sixth at Empire Brings New Laurels for Brooklyn Trainer. YONKERS, N. Y., Oct. 22. A new American training record was established at Empire City track today when Hirsch Jacobs, the Brooklyn turfman saddled Wise Will, his 148 winner for the year thus surpassing the long existing mark of 147, made by the late C. B. Irwin in 1923. Trainer Jacobs has led the American trainers for the last three years and will carry off the coveted honor again this year with a total of winners that may never be surpassed, at least for many years to come. It was reported recently that trainer Jacobs had hung up a new record on Saturday last, but according to the figures of the Daily Racing Forms statistical department it was not until today that the record was broken. Only such races as are printed in the Monthly Form Book are considered in compiling yearly racing figures and according to these Jacobs record is as stated above. Mrs. C. Oliver Isleins Shining Sun was winner of the best offering of the Empire City Association racing at the Hilltop course when he took the Palisades Handicap, a mile and seventy yards gallop for which A. T. Partridges old Crystal Prince was an odds-on choice. The old son of Prince of Bourbon raced to the place and third was the portion of Mrs. John Hertz Count Stone, when he outfinished Miss Rainbow. FAVORITES IN ECLIPSE. After the overthrow of favorites all through Wednesday, there came a continuation of the apparent upset of form but there was interest in the racing and a big crowd was out. Little Cooper, who had the leg up on Shining Sun, rushed the colt away on top and he was followed by Shoeless Joe, while Miss Rainbow was in third place. Crystal Prince, never famed for early speed, was last of the lot and Count Stone raced alongside of the old gelding. Then, in the back stretch, Cooper stole away with Shining Sun, which readily shook off Shoeless Joe, and he was soon romping along four lengths clear. Rounding from the back stretch, the son of Sun Edwin added to that advantage but by that time Crystal Prince was beginning to make up ground and Count Stone, under a vigorous ride by Arcaro, became a menace a furlong from the finish. Count Stone was hanging on well and for an instant there was a threat that Shining Sun would be run down. Cooper sensed the danger and riding his mount out vigorously his winning margin was a length and a half. FOUR ELEVEN REWARDS. Rather a nice band of juvenile fillies met in the five and a half furlongs of the fourth race and it marked the first favorite. Four Eleven, to score on the Hilltop course in twelve races and she was as good as 3 to 1 when she went to the post It was a stirring finish with Hugh W. Jacksons Clamorous taking the place and third going to Mrs W. Plunkett Stewarts Butter, one that met with little misfortune in the running. Anne G. continued the fall of the choices when she took the five and three-quarters of the third race, for which Mrs. G. Winfreys Lotofus was the choice. In fact all Lotofu3 could accomplish was to finish third when Saxopal, from the Ascot Stable, also led her over the line. She was two lengths back of these and took third from Kindred Spirit At the end of the card, Mrs. Helen D. Jacobs Wise Will was a handy winner over Philip Goulds Aureate and third went to Mrs. W. Plunkett Stewarts Separator. Wise Will was the choice, being the second favorite of the day to -score.
