Nothing could touch Ola Westland in
the three-minute class. She took three
straight without trouble and with plenty
of speed up her sleeve to spare should
the occasion arise. Prince Whips, very
clever horse, was driven to win, but
though he finished in second place each
time it was the best he could do. This
is the third successive race in two weeks
which this handsome mare has won.
The summary:
800 Glass, Trotting, Purse $3.50.
