Gregory would prefer at any time running in the
mud to running on a dry track. He was favorite
race for such day. Most of the jockeys behaved
very badly in this and delayed the start for
long time. The starter suspended two stable boys
named Riley and French for the year. Gregory and
Civil service got off in front. Gregory promptly
took the lead and OF the others could get near
him. although he was cOnccding from ten to twenty
pounds and even more to them, Gregory walked In.
Civil Service likes five furongs better than six, and
got third place only, Dilemma slipping into second
position at the finish. Creamery could not run
foot in the mud
When Mr.. withers sold Gregory in 1888 he sold
his best yearling. The colt has been Homestake

the consistent performers of the year. and only
the best two year olds can beat him. lie is worth
81 500 to-day If he is worth cent and he can give
ten pounds to any horse that Mr.. Withers has IN
training. Such is the lottery Of breeding, and OF sell

Badge. ridden by Isaac Murphy, led under an easy
pull most of the way for mile and a furong. Then
the three year.od Castaway IL, with Barnes in the
saddle and weighted only 81 pounds, closed with
Badge. Casaway was fond of the mud, and with his
light weight beat Badge Dy head. This was TO
markable upset. for Castaways previous form had no;
been really high, while Badges had been.
