Brighton Beach Race Track Notes and Outcomes
Crowds at Brighton Beach for a sweltering race day saw about ten thousand spectators as action ranged from steeplechases over the short course to tight finishes in several events. Waterspeed and Davidson won the steeplechase after a daring recovery, while Altuda edged Nimbus in a last stride finish for George J. Long. Notable horses including Edward, Watervliet, Merry Gift, and Notasulga failed to deliver strong results, and Harrigan changed hands in private sale to H. R. Brandt amid ongoing speculation about Empire City Racing’s midsummer meet.
