► . V incentive Drives To Dwyer Triumph Famous Victory Second to Brann Colt — Lucky Draw Takes Tremont at Aqueduct AQUEDUCT, L. I., N. Y., June 19.— William L. Brann, disappointed in a recent Dwyer renewal by so capable a performer as Challedon, furnished the victor in this afternoons running when Vincentive flaunted his Red and Yellow colors to a front-running triumph before an audience of 28.370 New York racegoers in this 5,000 added Aqueduct fixture. Jockey Johnny Gilbert had the mount on this son of Challenger II.. and drove him to the end of the mile and a quarter a half length in advance of Greentree Stables Famous Victory. The latter beat out Boone Hall Stables Princequillo by a length for secondary honors, while three lengths farther away, Pops Pick was fourth of a remarkably unremarkable field of eight acceptances. Belairs Tip-Toe. who finally emerged the public choice in an exceedingly open race, fell lame during the course of the stake and was dismounted by Stout upon pulling up around the paddock turn. Vincentive did not lack for support and returned 0.30 in the tote" after completing his run in a dull 2:05 on a fast racing strip, time far below Valdina Orphans 2:0125 stake and course mark. Race Worth 9,000 to Winner The victory was by far the most conspicuous success in the Maryland-bred bays checkered career, adding 9,600 and a ,250 breeders award to the Brann coffers. Jockey Conn McCreary came in for much criticism following the finish for his belated move with Famous Victory, who came from last place at the far corner and was rapidly overhauling Vincentive at the line. The assemblage that witnessed this renewal of the Dwyer was only slightly smaller than the 29,500 of last week-end, and an increase over the 24,118 present the similar afternoon in 1942. In addition to the Dwyer, the program offered a renewal of the Tremont for juveniles, which became the vehicle of an extremely popular score for George Wid-eners Lucky Draw, who previously this season captured the Youthful and Juvenile Continued on Page Thirty-Two ; I j I I j j I i i i 1 j I | I • ; • ; ■ 1 s . J Vincentive Drives To Dwyer Triumph Famous Victory Second to Brann Colt — Lucky Draw Takes Tremont at Aqueduct Continued from Page One and now stands as the smartest beginner developed thus far in New Yorks turf season. Vincentive broke from the outside in the stall gate and shimmered in the summer heat atop one of Americas longest home stretches and Gilbert lost no time sending him to the lead in the run first time past the stands. Eye for Eye and Tip-Toe had broken right with him and the riders both took restraining wraps as Vincentive was sprinted to the lead, rating about a length back going into the paddock bend. Through the far side, Vincentive moved off to a three-length advantage. Near the end of the back stretch Tip-Toe stopped suddenly and Eye for Eye began to page a cab. Straightening for the run home Vincentive still enjoyed a margin of three lengths when Brooks went to a drive on Prince-quillo. He moved up between horses from midway the pack drawing to within a length of Vincentive at the eighth pole. There, Princequillo began to hang and Vincentive held him safe without difficulty. It was at this juncture, inside the final furlong marker that Famous Victory, who had been taken back a la Whirlaway early, began looming menacingly on the outside. He was picking up Vincentive with every stride the last sixteenth but Gilbert went to work on the Marylander and repelled the fast charging Famous Victory by half his length. Princequillo was a length off them in third place. Lucky Draw captured his third stakes when he added the Tremont renewal to earlier triumphs in Jamaicas Youthful and Belmonts Juvenile, McCreary sending him to the front at the break and cutting out all the pace to win by two hand-riding lengths at the direct expense of Ravenala. A slightly greater margin back. Grant Rice was a limber third, and the only other runner, Captains Aide, was 20 lengths off the Longchamps representative. Equals Stakes Mark Lucky Draw killed off Grant Rice in the first quarter mile as the latter essayed to outrun him. Ravenala then made his run from the head of the home lane, forcing McCreary to the whip at the furlong post, and collapsed. The successful George Widener color-bearer was an odds-on choice, paying .30, and his time of l:054s tied that of Super-mont in this stake last summer. The track mark is Devil Divers 1:05. Lucky Draw earned ,150 and a 50 breeders award for the master of Erden-heim, who was present for the occasion. The bay geldings sire, Jack High, captured the 1928 Tremont for the Philadelphian. Apache came back to the races with a near-record run when he traveled seven furlongs in 1:2335, time just three-fifths off the mark of Parasang and Doublrab, to capture the seven furlongs Fayette Handicap. Stout had the mount, disposing of Bright Willie in the run around the turn and holding Ariel Lad perfectly safe by three parts of a length. Bright Willie was third, a length and a half further away. Doublrab Also Ran Doublrab, conceding the winner a pound, was in the beaten field. Ariel Lad and Pictor were ridden by McCreary and Woolf respectively, both running fastest of all when the race was virtually over. The winner paid .10 as a strong choice. There was nothing commonplace about the opening race though the dozen maiden three-year-olds and upward parading for this seven furlongs were ordinary enough. In the run around the hairpin of the home curve, where so many horses have run out erratically and some even continued through the outside fence, Roman Glory tried to get out under jockey Alfred Robertson while racing in a contending position, tripped or stumbled and fell. Robertson was removed in the track ambulance. Hugh Duffords Jimjoe, ridden by apprentice Givens, and Golden Thorn waged a bitter battle for the slightest lead early, with Jimjoe drawing off the last yards to a two-length margin as the others drifted past the middle of the track. Golden Thorn was disqualified from the place. It did not appear he was responsible for the mishap to Roman Glory. The new placing gave the disappointing choice, Ani-bras, the secondary award and Marmeduke third money. Papamoo was pulled up in the stretch and dismounted by Westrope. who appar-s ently thought his mount had broken down, The horse stumbled while being reined up and almost fell, but after being dismounted, walked off without any indication of lame-I ness.
