SARATOGA RACES, GREAT MATCH AGAINST TIME Mr. Belmont’s Horse Gray Planet vs. The Old Scythe Bearer. Gray Planet the Winner—The Best Time on Record. Sanatoaa, August 14, 1874, The great time match—Mr. Beimont’s gray horse Gray Planet, by Pianet, dam Eagiess, five years old, to run a mile in 1:433g, carrying 110 pounds— came off to-day, and was won by the horse with & Second to spare, which is che fastest time on record, The conditions of the match were that Gray Planet would run in 1:433¢ during the race meet. ing at Saratoga, and there was @ great diversity of opinion as to now many trials the horse was en- titled to, many declaring that he might start every day during the two meetings should his owner choose to do so, while others contended that one trial was all that the horse could have. The matter was finuily laid before the Executive Committee of the Saratoga Association, who de- cided that one trial was all that would be allowed, and that when the fag fell for a start the adair had to be settied one way or the other. Against this decision Mr. Belmont protested; but the horse was allowed to start, and he settled all con- troversy by winning the race in a very satisfactory manner. The betting was infavor of time during the morning, and, in fact, until just before the start time had the call; but beiore the flag feil Gray Planet ran into favor, and the horse started with the betting about even, The weather was very favorable in the early morning, and continued so until a few minutes be- fore the start, when the wind arose and blew quite brisk, which made the odds in favor of time for a moment, Just as the flag fell, however, there seemed to bealull in the wind, and it became calm for an hour afterwards. Gray Planet was accompanied ito his race frst by Mr. Belmorit’s chestnut mare Woodbine, who was ridden by littie Tom Sayres, who rattled away behind Gray Planet to near the half-mile poie, where the chestnut colt Babylon, with Hunter & Travers’ jockey, McCue, in the saddle, awaited him, and accompanied Gray Planet the last half mile, Gray Planet ran tie first quarter in 25 seconds, the half mile in 50 seconds, the three- quarters in 1:16, and came home, without the use of whip or spur, in 1 :424¢. ‘The oficial timers were Messrs. Thomas Puryear and D. McDaniel, and the judges were W. Cottrill, of Mobile, Thomas Doswell, of Virginia, and James D. MoMann, of New York. Gray Planet, when @ two-year-old, won the Champagne Stakes at Jerome Park, and the An- nieswvod Stakes at Baltimore, and it was then that Mr. Belmont purchased him, He isa magnifi- cent looking horse, with a fine head and neck, and is sixteen hands high. He bas beea used the last Year by his owner as the trial horse of his stable, The horse cost $10,000 at two years old.
