The ride that Aker gave the horse was
something painful TO witness. His effort at
the finish was ludicrous. He was trying his
horse more had he pulled him for all he was
worth. Sweet Dream had an easy race in

Little HindOO at n Long Price.
Verify won the sprint handily enough.
Little Hindoo. with 30 to against him, and
ridden by Lindsey, won the first race from

the best in the last race. but got caught in
