Sir Reginald. owed his victory to the cir.
cumstances which led to Red Light carry.
Ing over weight, that goes without saying
but the superb manner in which Morris
rode him must not escape mention.
1t is doubtful whether another Jockey
at the track would have persevered and so
made use of the opportunity afforded ia
snatch victory from tiring horse right
on the wire. Queen Bee, with a very lig ht
weight up, just escaped by only a few
| inches bringing off a big cup for her own
ers at good long odds.

Peril and Romulus with the lead for two
thlrds OF the journey. he then pulled to the
front and won IN gallop by two lengths
from MOn0wai, who secured the place by

Zobalr and Tigress divided favoritism
In the fourth race, mile selling, opening
at threes and closing at twos. Boston Boy
actually opened up as favorite, but was at
Tours when the six horses went to the

big crowd
