XENOMXY ORES WITH CASE Turns in Fourtn Victory of Meetings in Majestic HotejU Purse. . i Elooto Finishes Closest to; Daughter of: Xenofol Bellitas Bane Victress Over .t. Odds-On Favorite, Flying Up. HOT SPRINGS, Ark., March ,31. Xeno-may won her fourth race of the meeting when she accounted for the Majestic Hotel Purse, fifth and best race offered the big pre-Derby- crowd at Oaklawn Park this afternoon. She made her own pace to reach the end of one mile and seventy yards with -four lengths to spare. Elooto carried off second honors, and Sortie Star was third. Straight Thru lasted to take fourth laurels from Allanwood and C-Note. Flaunting J. W. MacClatchies colors and ridden by Paul Ryan, Xenomay began the fastest of all. After establishing a length advantage during the run to the back stretch, she was taken in hand. During the run for home Ryan roused the winner, and after widening on her field, came to the wire with much to spare. FORCES PACE. C-Note chased the winner for five-sixteenths, where Straight Thru moved into second place and, at the far turn, Elooto supplanted the tiring C-Note in third place. After reaching the stretch, Elooto bore over badly, and Straight Thru, which was between him and Sortie Star, was caught in close quarters. Straight Thru was unable to recover, but Sortie Star came on to be a half length back of Elooto at the end. Allan-wood always was outrun and C-Note quit badly after a half mile. Sunny skies and the first fast track since last Friday prevailed for the sport. Xenomay, an even money choice, was the second Miss Wise, which was well beaten in each of lier four starts here, furnished a big surprise when she was ah easy winner -of-the first race. Ouray, a "fielder," was second and Primer third. Parva Stella, a slight favorite over the field was fourth. Miss Wise made her own pace, first disposing of Beaver Lake and then holding Ouray safe thereafter. Primer found room after being in close quarters for five-sixteenths and he came on to finish strongest of all. Sly Kitty provided a popular score in winning the second race. She reached the finish slightly more than a length before The Spotter, with third honors going to DOrla. After beginning fastest of all, Sly Kitty was headed by The Spotter, but after the latter had drawn clear, Sly Kitty came on to regain the lead and finish with something left. LOSES BY NOSE. Poor riding on the part of Robert Dean proved very costly for the public in the third. He permitted Bellitas Babe to sneak up on Flying Up and gain a nose decision over him at the end. of the Oaklawn course. Ours and Oddesa Upset were a nose apart and a length back of Flying Up. Dean was slow getting Flying Up away from the gate and, after sending him to the inside in the stretch, where he attained a clear lead, he allowed the favorite to run under his own courage. Consequently, Bellitas Babe, which had been steered to the outside, came in to nip the choice at the wire. It was the first victory for the daughter of Upset Bellita, which flaunted the Byrum-Brothers colors. Full Tilt, winner here over the Oaklawn course, chalked up another victoiy at one mile and seventy yards when he accounted for the fourth event. Bereit, co-favorite with Gaming, was second and Chester Rose third. Well handled by Hayden Dupuy and steadied along for six furlongs, the winner moved into command approaching the final furlong and, responding to strong urging, withstood Bereits strong bid.
