investments on Srocco in The first race though they
failed TO take the public with them. greatly TO the

lay, and the outsiders backed Key West 1t was only
Taras skill rees perseverance that got sirocco
home In front Of Bolcro the distance between their
noses at the finish being only a few inches. 1aral
could have won by Il length with Bolcro. II Fred
Archer really ever did say there only five POUNDS
between the best and the worst jockey he must have
been crazy. Iray'ur Pay finished u length and half
behind Boero.
"Old Bones" Racclpnd looked less like n hatraek
than any other ihe Of his life, and his defeat by
