ADVOCATOR IN FINE RACE Takes Measure of Forty Winks in Baychester Handicap at Aqueduct. No Dice, Brother to Aneroid, Proves Best in Woodlawn Purse at One Mile and a Sixteenth. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 29. Joseph E. Wideners Advocator, running one,, of his best races, was winner of the Baychester Handicap at Aqueduct today. It was the best offering of the Queens County Jockey Club and well back of .the son of Sickle came Forty Winks, from the Greentree Stable, with George Garretts Carnarvon taking third from Top Radio. The only other starter was Daytonian. This was the first appearance of Forty Winks since his cantering victory in the;, Saratoga Special of last August and he was giving away great lumps of weight to each of the other starters. It was suggested that the son of Twink needed the race and he will probably show to better advantage later. It was a delightful day for the racing and a big crowd was out, though there was no special feature down for decision and the fields were small. In this Baychester Handicap Carnarvon and Forty Winks beat the other three from the stalls and they quickly went into a lead of five lengths, with Carnarvon showing the way by a length. Advocator was racing along in third position, with Top Radio fourth and Daytonian was destined to be last all the way. WINNING RUSH. Arcaro had Forty Winks under slight restraint as he followed Carnarvon and he made his bid after rounding into the stretch. There he called on the Twink colt, which ranged alongside Carnarvon, but as he did so he bumped the Garrett gelding slightly. At -the same time Advocator, running outside the pair of them, charged up with a rush that carried him on by to a victory of two lengths. Forty Winks saved the place by a neck from Carnarvon and he, in turn, had beaten Top Radio three lengths for third. No Dice, from the Silver State Stable, showing improved form, was winner of the Woodhaven, a gallop of a mile and a sixteenth, confined to three-year-olds. The place went to Walter Jeffords Rouge et Noir, favorite of the company, with Mrs. F. Ambrose Clarks Night Bud taking third from Bitter Berry, the only other starter. Incidentally this No Dice is a brother to Aneroid that has been making such glorious turf history under the silks of John A. Manfuso. Eddie Arcaro rode his second winner of the day when he brought home Myron Selz-nicks Cant Wait in the fifth, another five furlongs dash for juveniles. Making all the pace the son of Victorian won with plenty to spare over H. W. Jacksons Wise Mentor, while Our Ketcham barely took third from Sunnyshore, which raced for Joseph E. Widener. 0
