piloted by Jess" Matthews Altogether
it was a discouraging day at the track
for favorite players, as three heavily
backed choices were counted out.
At the commencement Buck Taylor, a

Nilgar finished third behind Tizona.

big colt rate along, and he registered an
exceedingly clever win in 1:27 fiat The
favorite took the place from Decoy in a

A close and exciting drive marked the
finish of the concluding mile and 100 yard
