year olds, Heno and Dixieline, and Ad-
vance Guard as starters. Advance
Guard took up 100 pounds. twelve pounds
more than he will carry in the Brooklyn
Handicap, yet his followers bet on him
heavily, forcing his price from to !
down to IL TO s. Heno was always fay-
orite at Z to 10. while Dixieline went
back TO is to >. Blue Girl was with
drawn.
When the barrier went up OConnoT
took Heno in hand and was four lengths
out of IT at the lower turn Burns did
not wait with Advance Guard, but went
right along about his business. Along
the backstretch Advance Guard made
the running, though Burns had him well
in hand. O'Connor had to ride Heno
bit TO make UP lost ground, but at the
far turn he began to go after the leader
in earnest
A Desperate Finish.
Advance Guard came into the stretch
clear of the others. Heno swung wide
and bumped into Dixieline. knocking the
latter out of his stride and compelling
odom to pull him up Then o'Connor
cut Heno loose and the great colt went
after Advance Guard. Burns mean
while was flashing the TANKS of the
Great Tom horse until his glossy coat
was covered with welts. Under this
punishment Advance Guard never fall
tered. The two were almost on equal
terms for the last furlong. but at the
finish Advance Guard was the winner by
a neck in fierce drive. The time,
1:55A. was quarter OF a second slower
than Conroy's time last year Odom
lodged a protest of foul against Heno,
and the latter was disqualified.
