and Rey FL Santa Anita left the paddock
in bunch. The horses paraded past the
grand stand in the order named. Domino,
Dorian and Senator Grady coming down
the stretch from the stables and swinging
into tile parade from the rear. The three
Eastern horses were cheered to the echo,
the vast majority Of the public being on
one of the three to win.
The horses cantered slowly to the start
Ing-post, where Starter PettingiIl was
awaiting them. After few attempts the
flag fell to good start, with all the horses

Domi inc was away first, with Despot at
his neck, ReY El Santa Anita third, the
others iD a bunch with the exception of
Senator Grady. who was off last and in a
bad position. Acenor went out to make

had been held. and pulling Grady to the
outside, sent him to the fourth place. The
Senator was running easily under a

amount of speed in reserve. Domino was
running leisurely in fifth place. Dorian
was eighth and Van kuren had taken a

reached. Garrison made a play, which in

son of Iriquois to the front like flash.
He passed everything in front of him as
though they were standing still, and then
pulling over to the next rail, he kept the
Senator going as though he was making a
runaway race of it. Taral on Domino and
Vas Kuren on Rey FL Santa Anita evil
