fayorite, finished fourth. The time was
s.l4 fiat. In the second heat Calypso got
down to his work and led the field from
tho start to the wire. Hayden came
second with Pussy Cat and it looked as
Il he could have won from Calypso. who
Was limping and evidently third had he
made the least kind of drive for it,; but
Hayden didn't make a move. So strong
WAS the idea that Hayden could have
won that the judges called him to the
stand and warned him that if he didn It
dTiys the grey mare to win they would
take him down. The third heat was
started amid considerable excitement.
and better things were expected of Pussy
Cat, but they were not forthcoming,
Hayden apparently pref erring to jog
along with her. Calypso, won the heat
easily with Pussy Cat second and. Chico
third, in 1215. The judges kept their
promise and took Hayden down7and put
Kenney up behind the gray marc.
Hayden protested but whit the judges
said, went. Tho horses got away quickly
in the fourth heat and Kenney had no
difficulty in winning with Pussy Cat al
most in walk, and the grey mare now
has new mark, IS fat. Chico came
second and Calypso third. The latter
horse WAS going very lame and 1t looked
ms If the race was now cinch for Pussy
Cat. But there are great uncertainties in
horse racing as the next heat demon
strated. Kenney got mixed up in the
bunch at the half som ehow, and got into
a pocket. When he got cut Of il, though
he made great drive homo, and the grey
mare did great work, he could not get in
first, and the lame Calypso carried off
the race and first money. Think of it a
lame horse winning the fifth mile of q
race in 2I1N, the fastest mile of the
day. If ever horse deserved q race,
Calypso did this one. He got first money,
Pussy Cat second, Chico third and Downe
fourth. The judges took $50 from Pussy
Cats winnings and gave it to Kenney
for driving her.
The 2.1S TROT
brought out the largest field of the day,
eight perform ers coming to the scratch.
Dick, another hot favorite in the pools,
pulled off this event but did not get down
to his work till the second heat. Maple
Valley captured the first heat winning
in q rattling finish with Wyoming, Jerry
O'Neil making one Of his great drives
with tho latter horse. Maple Valley
proved to be tho only contestant Dick
had in the race after this heat, and the
Concord mare kept Bowen's gelding at
tending closely to business throughout.
Outside of these two horses the race was
devoid of special interest. Dick took
first money, Maple Valley second,
Wyoming third. and Jubilee fourth. The
fastest heat was the third in 1914.
