Hamilton rode the favorite Tattler, in the second
race but the best he could do was to act second
place TO Golden Reel who won well in hand.
Poor Diablo seems to be almost useless now. Few
traces are left OF the fine colt that the st. James

early part Of the season. In his races in these
days he seems to be running strongly under pull
until he reaches the bOmestretch and then when
the jockey calls on him he does not respond at ALL
