Eleven good ones came out for the |
word in the first heat OF the ais pace
which was on in three straight heats |
by Kentucky Star. The time in these
three heats were remarkably fast and |
found many of the field too slow TO stand
the pace.
In the first heat Jim Corbett drew the
pole but Simmons began to cut out
the pace for tho field. At the qualt tor
Star third. At the three-quarters mark
Kentucky Star, Brennan and lSimmons
were all In bunch and as they turned
into the stretch the pace became so warm
for them that they all went to break
Kentucky Star was the first to get her
feet and won the heat by head, In
the second heat Kentucky Star got the
lead at the word and kept it without
break to the wire, gaining for himself
new mark of 208 ga. and beating
his former record by nearly three SEQ
onds. Although the pace was so hot, only
Jim Corbett was shut out and he acted
SO badly that he could not be made to
pace. In the third heat Kentucky Star
again pulled down his mark a quarter
of second and won the heat and race
very handily. In this heat Simmons
ran his sulky into the fence and piled up
all in heap in the track. John Turner,
who was driving him jumped and saved
himself from being injured. The horse
was not hurt in any way, but was dis
tanced. The summary.
