the last two heats going in 1911. There
were horses in the race that had gone IA
mile better than this by several sec
onGs and it was fight to the finish
from the start.
Maize Sidney took the lead at the
word in almost every heat and held it
rE'il well along in the second half
where the field usually overhauled and
PASSED her, landing her fourth once
and third three times. But the way
the little mare would light out at the
start was Il caution. She Travelled some
of the first quarters in great time but
always lost al the finish. This was at
tributed TO a lack Of work as the horse
has not been campaigacd or trained
lluch this season.
The second heat of this race WAS one
Of the best OF the afternoon. Maize
Sidney took the lead as usual at the
START and it looked rs if she would get
so far ahead that she could not be
caught. But in the second half, the
others punched with her and came
| down the stretch altogether. Lazzaro
was in the lead under the wire but WAS
set back to second place on account Of
a break made on the back stretch in
The last half.
LuZZaro was onto her job again in
the third and kept steady for the mile,
