MATE VICTOR | IN RICH RACE • •Chicago, July 20 —<U.R> — Mat ?. ! twice conqueror of Twenty Grand, and winner of three of the year's biggest stake races, had a firm; grip today on the turf's 3-year-old , championship of 1931. A. C. Bostwick's chestnut colt with the white face Saturday added tire Arlington classic, richest 3-year-old race of the year, to his i victories in the preakness and the American derby and may yet prove his right to be ranked close behind Man O’ War and Zev as one '.f America’s greatest horses. Twenty Grand. Kentucky derby' and Belmont Stakes winner, who went to the post a 1-3 favorite,! finished third, a nose behind Span- i Ish Play and never was a eon-! tender in the race which had been i expected to crown the Greentree i ace 3-year-old champion. Unless Mate suffers a reversal I cf form at Saratoga or Belmont, Park the son of Prince Pai-Kalla shandra seems entitled to a definite place in the turf's hall of I fame. Mate is not unbeatable as I was Man O' War when Ito won , 11 straight races as a 3-year-old in I 1920, but only Zev. who won 12 I out of 14 races in 1923. apparently j deserves higher ranking titan Mil-! ifonairo Bostwick's colt. Mate has started five times as i a 3-year-old won three times, and | finished third twice. As a 2-ear-, old he started 15 times, won eight t acos, finished second four times I and third twice. Thus in his on) tire career Mate has won It races, finished in the money 19 times and been unpaced only once.l In winning the preakness. Mate's time of 1:59 was the second fast-, rst since the distance was change,! to a mile and three-sixteenths in 1924. His victory in the Arlington classic set a new track and, classic record of 2*02 2-5 forth" mile and a quarter. In the American derby he also set a new track , and stake record of 2:01 1-5 for a m’le and a quarter. Twenty Grand gave Mate a decisive defeat it l the Kentucky derby, 1 lit that setback was hard- ( as bad as when Zev finished ■ 12th in the preakness before he ' won the Kentucky Derby. Mat" finished third in the Kentucky > Derby, seven lengths behind Twenty Grand, who set a new derby record of 2:01 4-5. It is doubtful if Twenty Grand and Mate meet again this year, as it seems unlikely that the Greentree ace will lie able to round otto condition in time to be at his best for the Saratoga or Belmont !*->rk meetings. Mate, who was ’hipped east yesterday, probably, will start in the Travers and Saiatoea cup at Saratoga. When Mate captured first pri;;e $73,050 in the Arlington class!’, h-» boosted his total winnings to | ’”32.325 and bpcame the ninth biggest money winner on Ameri-| can turf. Mate is still $95,846 short of Gallant Fox’s all-time b ch record of $328,165.
