San Durango looked to outcioss his field.
and he was always the choice A warm tip

heavily on him. His last race when he de-
feated Adowa was a good one, and 1t was
Torrance in this event. He had plenty of
speed during the first five-eighths, but in
the final furlong San Durango proved too
much for him. The latter closed strong on
the extreme outside and won handily by O.
