In the rsce. but Morse made bis run too
late Another jump would have landed the
purse for Tommy Savers
Charley O'RFien was handed the second
race on i silver platter. There was nothing
u 1t at any stage but the Traialear cot.
He was at pr1E-bitive odds IN The betting.
AS soon as The flag Eel he rushed 10 the

Another bunch OF hounds that have 50

H. StUaFts sleepy ride on Mcio caused all
but a few Of tho wise set to suffer COM
piete setback IN the third race. Molo, Terra
1ncognita and Muskalo1ge wero heavily
played choices. Nan Dora opened at 80 TO l.
but was soon hammered down to Is. Nolo
was OF In trent, but allowed Nuskalonge
Then Nan Dora took command She had
q length 10 spare when the turn for home
was reached. but to those In the stand Il
appeared es though Nolo had the race well
IN hand and only awaited a call from Stuart
This cid not come, and neither ctd Aioio.
Nan Dora held her advantage to the end.
Molo got the place from Terra lncOgnita by
a length Auskalocgs quit to nothing at
the end.
After the race II. Stuart was called into
the stand 20 explain his weak finish on
the fayor,te- He sate the horse is a heavy
headed animal and that all he could do was
TO hold his head up. He was let OF with n
warning to put more iife IN his work.
Although six lengths separated Ohnet, the
third horse. a switch IN the Jockeys might
have landed the money for the Lenp sprint

close toseIher, but with Doniinlck on Ohuet
fifteen pounds in Ohnets favor appeared i'm
meGiately. The race proved this as Ohuet
cleverly ridden b. the light weight, landed
the winners end handy, while Macon. IN
der a burRling ride, could never get close
enough to lie dangerous.
