SUFFERS BAD RACING LUCK [I 11 Sungino Is Victorious After Burnup G Stumbles in the Tartar Purse. Big Crowd Entertained by High-Grade Rac- . A ing at Aqueduct — Burning Brights Winning Debut. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 20.— Aided and j abetted by a bit of misfortune which befell 1 w Burnup, his most formidable rival, Mrs. .. ir in Chas. S. Bromleys Sungino, three-year-old i : C chestnut son of Gino and Reigh Nun, scored i | tl a driving victory in The Tartar, mile dash -! i | T that headlined todays program at Aqueduct, I l j g Had Burnup, chestnut son of Big Blaze e | I -A and Gallon Gold, which raced under Mrs. ;. i d Anthony Pellteris green and gold silks, not t 7 stumbled at the start, he might have led his s d rivals to the wire. | a a These two and six other better-than-aver- •_ . 0 of age three-year-olds went postward in The e y Tartar— the fifth race of the day. Favored b to win was the Wheatley Stable entry of ,f U Hostility and Devils Peak. Sungino was s I I the second choice at 18 to 5, while Burnup, j | « neglected by most of the speculators, closed d | v at 8 to 1. At the wire, Sungino, with J. r i f Wagner up, was a length to the good with * Burnup second, Hostility third, another r L length back, and Chalmac fourth, beaten n n in three lengths for the show award. ATTENDANCE INCREASES. £ a With the return of sunshine, and a rise e s in temperature, attendance at the Queens s i ; s County Jockey Clubs track took a jump, * going to about 7,500 or 8,000. While the gathering didnt witness a fancy card, it it was treated to high grade racing. It It z cheered long and loudly when, in the fourth h ; ; i event, for maiden two-year-old fillies, the ie [ , popular blue and brown silks so long among g i t the leaders in American racing, were car- v- j j ried to victory by Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitneys t- first-time starter. Burning Bright. I I This daughter of Whichone and Masda per- r- ! t formed smartly to win her debut. The bet- t- j tors complimented her by installing her the ie | i choice. j i 1 In The Tartar, Burnup, which Mrs. Pelle- e- I j 1 teri purchased recently from the Glen Riddle I j Farm Stable, behaved badly at the post, it, ! j ; plunging through his stall time after time. I j J Finally he was banished to a position out- t- | j side the stalls and a half length back of his is j 1 rivals. As the break came he was in motion, n I | 1 but as his rider, Basil James, urged him on, n | i 1 he broke so swiftly into full stride that he ie i ! : went almost to his knees. James had to to ] busy himself with gathering the horse to- o- | j ! gether, and by the time this was accom- n_ ; plished, the rest of the field was well under er | I way. CHALMAC ALERT. Chalmac was first to leave the stalls, but in an instant Wagner had the fleet Sungino 1 in front. The Bromley colorbearer opened i up a one-length lead in the first quarter and In the next he increased it to a length and a half. In the meantime, James was content Ijji ! to lay back in seventh place with Burnup, j and it wasnt until the middle of the turn rn that the Blazes colt was asked for speed. d. | He made up ground rapidly, reaching fourth th I place at the top of the stretch. In the run in : : ! to the wire he ran past horses but was un- ! j able to overhaul Sungino. This fellow had id BOOM into the home stretch three lengths hs ! to the good, but Wagner had to drive him m j j I through the final sixteenth in order to stave ve ! i off the rush of the Pelleteri colt.
