BEATEN BY SHORT HEAD THRILLING FINISH TO EPIC STRUGGLE IN HOME STRAIGHT

(By Hotspur)

London, June 19.

IN as great a struggle as has ever been seen for the Ascot Gold Cup the English filly, Quashed, in the colours of Lord Stanley, yester- day beat the American challenger, Omaha, by a short head. Know- ing the reputations and the performances of this very good filly and this very good colt one had anticipated a struggle that would be epic, and that might occupy for ever a supreme place in the records of In- ternational racing. And it was epic, magnificent, for the pair had drawn clear away after the turn into the straight three furlongs from the winning-post.

The others might not have been there, so hopelessly outclassed were they. The pair raced locked together, and it need hardly be said that the crowd watched the contest with a breathless interest, for until the judge gave his decision no one could tell which had won. Mr. Malcohn Hancock must have decided the result on the dip of the horses' heads as they passed, and Quashed had her head up as they came into his line of vision.

I venture the opinion that, had not Omaha hung just a little,

as they were close home, the verdict might have been a dead-H.K. American

heat. As it was, there could not have been a more satisfactory result. Omaha has proved himself a great colt, and has entirely vindicated the judgment of his owner in deciding to pit him
