JAMIE K. — The Spring Hill Farm runner is due at Aqueduct where trainer John B. Partridge will place him in training. Aqueduct Spring Maiden Steeplechase , Juniper Valley Handicap Carded Today V Ancestor Heads Field for Jumping Event; Affrighted Topv/eighted for Flat Race AQUEDUCT, L. I., N. Y., June 13.— The Aqueduct Spring Maiden Steeplechase and the Juniper Valley Handicap are the feature attractions here Tuesday and will be staged as the third and sixth events on the eight-race card. Ogden Phipps Ancestor, who finished second to Carafar in the Belmont version of the Spring Maiden Chase, heads the jumping event with a crushing 162 pounds, of which all but about 30 pounds will be Frank "Dooley" Adams. The speedy Challe-don gelding, who "blew out" with three furlongs in :35% on the main track at Belmont Park this morning, will probably be favored despite his impost. Prior to the Belmont Spring Maiden, in which he. had the same burden, Ancestor finished second to his stablemate, Neji, in the International .Chase, won the Charles L. Appleton and an overnight event at Belmont Park. Carafar will not be mong those present in tomorrows ,500 added stake, while Brook-meade Stables Bavaria, 148, and Charles Stitzers Another Hyacinth, 155, have- already been beaten by Ancestor under similar conditions. No rider has been named for Bavaria, whose best races have been under Adams, while Another Hyacinth, who fell in the Belmont Spring Maiden and tired badly in the Meadow Brook, also is without a pilot at this writing. The Spring Maiden field is completed by Winding Way Farms Khumbaba, who has been hurdling fairly well and may fare better on the big fences, and M. B. Metcalf, Jr.s Beau Sir, who also comes from a hurdle race. Khumbaba is in with 150 pounds and jockey no boy, while Beau Sir carries 138 and the maiden apprentice with the improbable name of euster Cassidy. A field of eight has been named for the Juniper Valley, which, is a a mile and one-sixteenth for a ,000 purse. Lester Manor Stables Affrighted is topweight here with 120 pounds, conceding. seven to Alexander H. Maus Flaunt, who beat him three lengths under the same weight arrangement on June 6. Flaunt, who will be ridden, by Willie Lester, has a peculiar fondness for the Queens County Jockey Club strip and won the Queens County Handicap here a couple of years ago. William Nobles South Point, who finished behind Affrighted last out, but appears to be racing himself into form, is in here with 113 including Bill Boland. The Juniper Valley field is completed by Greentree Stables Diving Board, who won his last at Belmont on the disqualification of Ashenden, Writer, King Jolie, Winning Count and Bill Cane. Most of the other races have drawn large and familiar fields.
