turn passed Jim Leach and came away
an easy winner by two lengths, Barbara
bad third and Dick Richmond, who
broke badly, just inside the distance
flag. Time, 2:2714.
Second heat-The horses scored four
times before they got away. Glendine
had the pole and with Jim Leach at his
wheel soon took the lead, Barbara trail
ing close up. Dick Richmond, who was
constantly off his feet, fell back at the
quarter post, but managed to save
being shut out. Maintaining his
lead without an effort Glendine made
the circuit as steadily as clockwork and
came in two lengths from Leach who
broke coming up the stretch; time,
2:2634.
Third heat-On re-appearing, the
tempt, Glendine having the pole and a
slight lead. At the quarter this was
increased to two lengths from Leach who
was up in the air on the slightest provo

keeping together in the rear. Glendine
still forged ahead steadily, however,
and at the half had gained another
lengths advantage, when Leach broke
again. The favorite then came away and
never being challenged by the others
won the heat and race by four good
lengths; time, 2:2734.
