be said to have been merely nominal. Tw,
to one was offered on Port Leonard, and ff
teen to six with deplorable scarcity O
takers.
Cape Race showed in good form but ap
peared sulky and disinclined to start. After
q couple of efforts, in which Cape Race
sulked and fingered. there was a good send
off, Cape Race for wonder getting the
start, but before the first three hundred
yards was passed Port Leonard, with few
quick nervous bounds, had dashed ahead
| AT the first quarter the bay gelding had
| opened tull length on the Lexington colt,
| and 100 to ten was freely offered against
Cape Race but no takers. At the halt-mile
post Port Leonard was full fifty yards in the
lead, going along leisurely. Cape Race had
| evidently let down. Nothing now but an
accident could divert the manifest issue.
That accident came near occurring. and all
through the over confidence of Port Leon
ards jockey. That festive youth, feeling
secure of the race, pulled up and amused
himself all the way down the home stretch
by looking back and nodding defiant tri-
umph at his adversary. The result was
that within fifty yards of the string Cape
Race yielded to his riders spur and
bounded rapidly forward, tapping Port
I.eonard's tanks and coming within q neck
of winning the race. Time of second heat
2:231.
So ended the first days meeting. If not
entirely satisfactory it at least gives US
promise of something better to come.
