NORRIS SILKS SCORE AGAIN Danger Point Wins for Chicagoan at Aqueduct S o u t h American Horse in a Dead Heat. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 25. Danger Point, the good son of Stimulus and Risk, which races for J. D. Norris, was an easy winner of the Fair Harbor Handicap at j Aqueduct today. This was a gallop of a mile I and a sixteenth confined to three-year-olds of Class "C," and Armagnac, from the Howe Stable, took the place from Vamoose that races under the silks of the Falaise Stable. Riparian and Buttermilk were the only other starters. It was a day of sensational sport, with two outlanders from South America furnishing a pair of thrills. These were Sahri II., a mare that was an easy winner of the opening dash, and Caballero II., a five-year-old horse that later finished in a dead heat with Isaiah. It was a day of close and exciting races. In the Fair Harbor Handicap, Armagnac was the one to set the pace, while Danger Point galloped along in last place until the stretch was reached, being ridden with supreme confidence by Peters. It was not until Armagnac had put each of the others away by carrying them along that Peters made a move. Then in the stretch, when called upon, the son of Stimulus closed with a rush on the outside and, galloping past his company, was winner by two and a half lengths. Armagnac, though doing his best, stuck it out with courage to. be second, two lengths before Vamoose, which had saved ground in the stretch to finish well on the inner rail. Both Buttermilk and Riparian, which had attempted to chase Armagnac in the early racing, quit badly in the final furlong, making his performance just that much better, even though he was beaten by Danger Point! There came a dead heat in the six furlongs of the fourth race when Isaiah, from the Arcturus Stable, and C. S. Shockleys Caballero IL, another brought on from Chile, were so closely locked they could not be separated by a photograph. Three lengths away A. G. Vanderbilts Grand Play beat Idle Midget for third. Caballero II. is a five-year-old son of Royal " Alarm and Batavia, and he was carrying j equal weight of 120 pounds with Isaiah, both ; being entered under a valuation of ?4,000. i After the race it was announced that the 1 Chilean horse had been claimed by Mrs. 1 Ethel D. Jacobs. 1 E. R. Bradley left for Delaware Park to : be a week-end guest of William du Pont and i will then proceed to Idle Hour Farm, Lexing- ton, Ky., on an inspection trip. . Jockey C. Shultz left for Delaware to ride Myron Selznicks Pasha in the Kent 1 Stakes.
