POPULAR PICQUET
Scores a Hit With the Gallery When
He Calls a Dead Heat
MUs Fallon Mhows the Debutantes
, PI '" ",''! J ... .
a Clettn JPalr of Heels
, Many were the surprises and thrills
at the matinee of the Pinehurst Jockey
Club last week. A more perfect day
has not been seen this season, and it
was appreciated by the large number of
followers of the " Sport of Kings" who
crowded the grand stand and lined the
track with waves of bright and brilliant
colors . displayed by the sweaters worn
nowadays.
We might call this the vindication of
Farm Boy, for the big gray paid back
for the defeat he suffered last week,
when Swinnerton 's . Are, Amm . Bee
showed the way home in, the pacing
event. It was for this reason that a
match race between the two Pinehurst
favorites was arranged. With Glass
driving Farm Boy and Fleming behind
Are Amm Bee, they got off to a good
start. Having the : pole,' gave Boy a
slight advantage over his rival and he
obtained a lead in the" first quarter
which enabled him to win with ease.
The second heat was a repetiton of the
first, the grey winning by several
lengths. Fleming started out in the
third by making things a little more in
teresting. They traveled three-quarters
of the course before the pace proved
too fast for the black, and he crossed
the wire a length or so in the rear.
LADY BETTY 'S BEST BIT
Up on Lady Betty in the mil
handicap flat, Call romped home first
ahead of one of the fastest fields of the
afternoon. Whymark up on his favorite
Molly 0. was started at scratch, Call
next in line . at the 20 yard mark, the
inimitable Butter, riding the riderless
Lucille, was placed at the 40 yard line,
and Wells led the way on Hatto with a
handicap of 55 yards. -It was .as close
a contest as yet seen on the track, all
four holding their own until the fourth
quarter. Coming into the stretch a
mighty effort was made to overhaul the
mare ridden by Call, who had managed
to ride to the fore for a lead of a short
length, and young Whymark drew up to
the flank, driving the powerful Molly
0. into a last but unsuccessful spurt.
Butter came in for a good third with
Wells close behind.
A DEAD HEAT
From the spectacular point of view
the one mile weight handicap flat event
was even more of a race. Little Pop
from Mrs. P. C. Thomas stables with
Whymark up and Kinder Lou mounted
by Wells, ran the race of their lives.
Together with Melos, Call up and Hardy
with Dixon up they passed the grand
stand for the first time like leaves before
the wind. On the far, stretch. Little
Pop started a spurt which .brought him
into second, place and right , up at the
heels of Kinder Lou, , who was in the
van. ,In this position Whymark stayed
until the last stretch was reached when
he, let loose. And neck and neck did
they fly, neither conceding an inch, both
going. the limit for a win. This brought
the grand, stand to a pitch and amidst
the appuse and excitement they crossed
the wire in a dead"' heat. At least so
the judges proclaimed. But what is a
judge or umpire? The Great American
public at this stage of the game came
into, evidence, in the most approved Polo
field style. . Not .only Picquet 's judg
ment, but his eyesight and his antece
dents, his motives and his disposition
was reviewed with a refreshing candor
by the impromptu critics of the grand
stand, thus rendering perfect a great
race. Melos, the favorite of the race
came in for fourth place, being beaten
out by Hardy, the Lee entry.
The guests' purse brought out three
riders, new to the Pinehurst track, but
evidently not new to the game. Preston,
one of the Parson School boys, riding
his brown horse Mosquito and IX. H.
Weakly astride Chief, the ambitious
were unable to take the lead away from
Lambert Splane who had entered on his
old favorite Bannie V. He rode as if he
lived in the saddle and he will be some
thing for the squadron to look out for
in the future. Preston drove Mosquito
the limit, but could, not stop the onrush
of, Weakly for second, place.
Miss Fallon, . a Miss . of - not many
years carried Eex victor, in at a frantic
pace in the Ladies , mile dash. Miss
Tufts up on Travelor was an easy sec
ond with Mrs. Stedman following up in
third place. On ' the last stretch Miss
Dorothy Barber, who carried off all the
honors on the track year before last, met
with the misfortune of a loose saddle
girth and so could not demonstrate her
famous whirlwind finish.
DAVE'S DASH.
Just about this time Whymark, who
had been beaten out of first place sev
eral times during the day, made up his
mind that he was to figure in first
money and headlines at least once dur
ing the afternoon, and brought out his
brown horse Dave, to uphold his am
bitious Little Horn, Hurd's old favor
ite with Wells up and Fort Johnson,
Call up, were the opponents of Why
mark's ideas. He started off the Steeple
Chase by taking the lead in a flashy
get-away which left Little Horn and
Fort Johnson almost standing at the
post. By the time they past the grand
stand for the first time Whymark had
obtained a goodly lead, but the redoubt
able Little Horn was not to be denied
and the first time around left him right
on the flanks of the Nibbs' entry. Here
came the deadlock and Wells could not
break it. They finished in a fury and
showed the best possible form. With
Dave right there.
