COHORTS OFFSPRING TRIUMPH Spillway and Oversight Score at Jamaica Wheatley Double. Jockey. Johnny Longdeh Participates In Two-Ply Triumph of New York Stable Track Fast. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 5 Spillway, in the stable of Joe W. Brown, registered the second victory in as many days for the New Orleans outfit when he nosed out Bellringer for principal honors in the Hazelwood Handicap, six furlongs dash which featured todays competition at the Jamaica course. The finish was the most thrilling of the afternoon, for the pacemaking Galapas only missed the place prize by the shortest possible margin, with Indomitable half a length farther away. The triumphant gelding had to turn in a keen performance to register, as his final time of 1:11 marked the best race of the young meeting at the distance. There was plenty of support for the racer from the Crescent City, as he went to the post a 16-to-5 second choice, opening at 3 1-2 to 1. This was considerably less than the 10 to 1 his stablemate, Jewell Dorsett, paid on the previous afternoon. His victory completed one of the afternoons several doubles, as his sire, Cohort, also was represented by the earlier winner Oversight. IMPORTANT DOUBLE. . The most important two-ply score was that of the Wheatley Stable, which took a pair of juvenile races with the home-bred Historical and Oversight, jockey Longden participating in both victories. The veteran Haas got Spillway away swiftly from his position in the middle of the twelve-horse field and drove him hard to keep in close attendance to the pace of Galapas. Never could the leader steal away from the son of Cohort, and pt the top of the stretch the latter came past the leader to make what proved a winning bid. The pair fought head-and-head from the three-sixteenth post to the finish, with Bellringer driving in between the two in the concluding yards as Galapas faltered. It was a speedy and game effort for the winner. Galapas, making his first appearance after a brief freshening, had all his speed and dominated the running from the fall of the flag until the last fifty yards. He ran the final half in the brisk time of :46, and only tired right on the money. Bellringer, one of the outsiders, cut scant figure in the early running, but closed with a surprising burst of speed, to force his way in between the leaders in the last twenty yards, and gain the place by an eyelash. Jockey J. Westrope and Earl Sande parted company on amicable terms, it was announced Wednesday.
