May 10. — Calumet Farm scored its fitst solo victory of the New York season when Hedley Woodhouse hustled Amoret to a length victory over Mrs. Whitney Stones Gallair in the first division of the featured Patricia Purse here today. Arnold Hangers Rico Reto was a half length farther back at the end of a moderate six furlongs in 1:12%, and a length and a half before W. Goadby Loews Churn. Somewhat neglected by the crowd of 19 -173, Amoret paid 0. j Mrs. Gene Markeys Calumet silks had been carried into a dead heat by Mims for the only other success for the famed devils red since the season opened on April 1. Amoret is a full sisters to Mark-Ye-Well !by Bull Lea. from the brilliant Mar-Kell! i by Blenheim II., and had won a seven-fur-,long event in good time at Santa Anita. J then raced wide in her only start here before today. Woodhouse, who had her away alertly, was completing a consecutive double, that carried him to within one winner of Bill Bol-nd on the local jockey standings with 12 winners. i Torrid Stretch Duel -r i"iii and Gallaii who was ridden by Ted Atkinson, fought out the sixth event on almost even terms from the start to the sixteenth pole, with Gallair shoving her head in front for a few strides nearing the quarter pole. Far Pacific was a close third for more than five furlongs, then stooped abruptly and finished last, while Rare Treat, the favorite, was sluggish from the start, along with Rico Reto. Nearing the finish, Woodhouse roused ; Amoret sharply and the bay filly respondpd j willingly, drawing away in the final yards .while Gallair, who was making her sea-! sonal debut, held on gamely to save sec-| ond money from the closing rush of Rico Reto. Churn ran a fairly even race all the i way. There was another mild surprise in the • second half of the Patricia, when Nelson I Asiels Tarquilla reached the end of the six panels almost a length before C E Mather II.s Gay Reaper, with Howell E Jacksons favored Villa another two lengths m arrears and with no apparent excuse George Glassner rode Tarquilla. who paid 3.90 and was teletimed in 1:12%, the same time required by Amoret. Hedley Wocdhouse had to hit Henry H. Hechts Esau Fond lefthanded three times to let him know what was expected of him, then had to switch his stick and tap him a couple of times to straighten him out in the Graple Purse. This treatment j made the speedy son of Beau Gem get the , job done and he went on to score by two lengths over Mrs. M. R. Hamars Running I Wolf, who ncs?d out Mrs. Charles Silvers Alan K. fcr second money. Woolford J Farms Bcld Statesman was a length and a half out of the money after taking an early lead on the inside. A prohibitive choice, Beau Fond paid .30 and stepped j the five furlongs in a respectable :58. The I bay gelding appears eligible to improve. j Indian Fire Scores Over Jumps Mrs. Ogden Phipps Indian Fire, the favorite in the hurdle race, nosed out Mill River Stables Eternal Son at the end of about a mile and three-quarters, but jockey-Flint Schulhofer immediately claimed foul against Frank "Dooley" Adams, rider of the winner, declaring that Indian Fire had borne in on Eternal Son through the stretch. Actually, as the films showed, both horses bore in through the last furlong, but there was no contact and the stewards maintained the result. Mrs. Henry Obres Xapcourt was another five lengths away, after leading at the far turn, while Blue Run Farms Martingle was another length and a half in arrears. Sanford Stud Farms Templier refused to break with his field and galloped along 100 lengths in the rear, neither gaining nor losing any of that margin from start to finish. Indian Fire paid .10. Pete Anderson completed a double when he steered Dorothy J. Gales Cruoial to an easy triumph in the fourth event. The gray son of Pavot drew out in the stretch to score by three lengths over Arthur A. Guettels Long Strider at the end of seven furlongs in 1:27. Crucial paid 0.40 after his graduation exercises.
