Joy LEADS THE GANG.
Five good ones scored down for the
word inthe 2:30 trot, the first event
on the card. Some of the horses were
q little rank at first and it was difficult
to get them lined up or their clip to
send them away. After several in
%effectual attempts the word was
given and the mile journey was be-
gun. 1t was plainly apparent that
Webster's bay gelding Joy had the
speed over the party and at no time
during the three heats that it required
to settle it did his driver call on him
for his limit. He led the field from
wire to wire without 4 skip and in
each heat logged in on the finish
However, it was a good ace between
the other foul horses.

NETTLEWOoD AN AsY WINNER.
Like the 2:30 trot, the 1928 pace
proved a three heat affair and the bay
stallion Nettlewood won it with hand
down in remarkably good time, con
sidering that the track was severa
seconds slow. This was as good
field of sidewheelers as ever faced
starter on the Mexico track, ant
every horse has paced miles bette
than 2:2O this season. They came t.
the wire like a flash and no trouble
was experienced in getting them off
All were in hobbies and worke'
sguarely. In each heat Nettlewoot
set the pace and won with ease. If b.
had been driven out, 2:12 or :13 woult
have been against him. In the frs
heat he went to the first quarter in 8
seconds, the half in 1:05R and finish
ed in 2:16k without lifting his nose
This is the fastest first quartz
of a race ever paced or trotte'
on the Mexico track. Maddox neve
called on him in the last half of an,
of the heats. A mark of about 80
will catch Nettlewood before the clos
of this racing season. Maddox ha
him well in hand and knows his hors
thoroughly.
Jap, by Robert Rysdyk, made
highly creditable showing in the thir
heat and but for the fact that Harpe
was a new man in the sulky h
, would have won a much bet
, ter position in the race. Jap has tn
speed, but left his feet several time
and was hard to settle. Johnny L
PAGES some himself and is a rae
q horse. Ed. Cloud, by Hartford 9TH
sire of Robert j., 2:O119j, is not keep
t ing up the reputation of the family a
he should, as he quit cold in the thir
heat and the flag fell while he was
= long way out.
