kept it into the stretch, and all the way
down 1t, going under the wire half length
ahead of Manzanita, with Copperfeld q

While preparing for the next race, PROBES

were Chas Thomas, Sr.s sorrel gelding,
Oliver Twist, age 3, by Balboa, dam Little

rider Devise, colors red, yellow and blue.
Weights, all no.
In the pools Twist was the favorite at $40,
against s6 for Hill and SIS for the field.
Getting to the half f.mile post, Twist was
like his brother, Copperfeld, only much
more so. Before the others came up he
wanted to make the race alone, or with a
big start of them. When the two little
fllies got to the post, he did not want to go
at al, or If at all, he would like to come
back one way while they went the. other.
He thought the back stretch must be q
shorter half-mile than the other way. All
the time he was persuaded the people had
their money on the wrong horse"
On the Sixth trial the flag dropped, and
had been cool as cucumber all the time,
but little Allie got badly 'rattled" by SO
much Intellectual running to get start.
They came well together to the home
lead, Twist almost neck and neck with her,
and Hill close at the horses heels. They
went under the wire in that order, the
black mare winning by half length.
