that was a fifth of a second faster than No Sirs course record Aqueducts strip is of a curious composition that renders it faster when it is wet than when it is dry It was no surprise therefore that

and in the sparring Robertson stepped Golden Voyage to the front though he was carrying the actual top weight of 122 pounds poundsGolden Golden Voyage moved away to a daylight lead of a couple of lengths in the first quarter with Bferman forcing the pace on Harvard Square whom he had under wraps Parasang was a couple of lengths off Har ¬ vard Square and Omission brought up the rear rearThey They went in Indian file that way down the long back stretch withGolden Voyage maintaining a lead of more than a length on Harvard Square entering the far turn and Parasang still a couple of lengths off the latter latterEntering Entering the stretch the race began in earnest Harvard Square was shaken up briskly and sent about the task of wearing down Golden Voyage moving to his head on the outside At the same time James pulled Parasang off the rail where he had been saving ground and took aim on both the leaders About the eighth post it was any ¬ bodys race with that trio lapped Golden i Voyage was first to falter and dropped out of it and Harvard Square showed in front i momentarily Lit James had Parasang on his best stride and wore him down steadily to win going away Harvard Square tried stoutly to withstand Parasangs bid but sim ¬ ply could not give him a year and six poundsFLYING pounds FLYING INDIAN SURPRISES SURPRISESGolden Golden Voyage quit all over the last six ¬ teenth and Omission made up a few lengths in the stretch to pick him up for third money though two lengths off Harvard 1 Square The fractions were 22 46 110 and 123 Flying Indian surprised even TonyPelle teri when she moved out of the plater ranks to equal the five and a half furlongs track record in winning the Astoria Nick Wall had the mount on the Flying Heels filly and she was always in front but at the final marker she was straight as the proverbial string to lead the steadily closing Smiles from the Brookmeade Stable by just a neck neckA A length and a half back Jock Whitneys thoroughly beaten favorite Banjo Eyes who was oddson and had been second in the Fashion at Belmont Small Time completed the field of just four answering the bugle after the withdrawals of Great Hurry who raced Friday and Mersa Matruh MatruhFlying Flying Indian went over the distance in 22 46 and 105 so tieing Chicuelos track standard though the going was sticky It was the second record run of the

her third success in four chances Those who fancied her chances were rewarded with 780 for 2 and she earned 5475 through her performance performanceTAKES TAKES EARLY LEAD LEADWall Wall sent Flying Indian away from the rail station swiftly to take a lead of a couple lengths on the other three in a twinkling She shook off Small Time as Meade tried to drive the latter to her on the turn En ¬ tering the stretch Banjo Eyes made her bid and was unable to threaten under the whip In the last furlong Robertson cracked down with Smiles and that filly probably would have been the winner in another stride or two for she had Flying Indians margin whittled to a neck at the line where the Pelleteri filly was hollering for help and Wall was giving her the best in the shop shopSky Sky Raider a widely publicized but not too promising son of Man o War and Top Flight finally made his initial start in the seven furlongs of the fourth event and the public sent him to the post an oddson favo ¬
