Il was Jack Young's day. as was fore
casted in The Republic yesterday. he won
, the forth race at the Fair Grounds BY n
nose from the c5-to-1 shot. Prince Richard.
The rfouey went in on Young as If there
was nothing else TO the race. It was the
ara time this season that they bet on him.
Evidently those who know him best knew
TINT he held Orris. Gates and the other
cuntenders safe. They scarcely figured on

was a fair start. Orris shot to the
fr&bt, followed by Alice Turner. Gates and
Y6ang. Richard was nipped out on the first
tufn, but went through his field. Young

Higgins seemed TO have Richard measured.

him here.
but still seemed confident and certain. Lowe
let Richard flop and bob in the closing
strides and Young got 1t by a short nose.
1t was a narrow squeeze.
YOUNG Had AN EASY RACE.
Young's race is hard to estimate. He
seemed to loaf along as he pleased, was
in many pockets. came wide, was not hard
ridden and won with certainty. Many good
judges did not like Higgins effort, but it
seemed all right to the writer. 1t was not
a brilliant race for Young, but not at any
time was he under pressure. He vas
backed from 3 to even money and the ring
suffered when he won. The time, 1:4sas.,
wasssiow. even If the wind was high.
LOFTS Wilson, the 0.OOO rider. did not do
very we'll with Selected, the 4-to-5 favorite
in the second race: He go. her off slowly,
by ]. W. O'Neil. who was off last. in
1854 for the four and one-half furlongs.
Two weeks ago Selected took up the same
and breezed home in :55s.. winning pulled
up on soft track by ten lengths. She did
not run in 81 yesterday. Before the race
Mr.. Rogers said that she was ten pounds
a better filly than when she ran in :55a4.
After the race he did not have any ex-
plantations to make.
O,.Nfill broke last and. standing. Selected
broke to a fine start. Though ordinarily
speed until she ran a quarter Wilson said
she reared up as the barrier snapped. Mr..
Dade said that she went away evenly and
without rearing. but that Wilson could not
get her going. Throw the race out in COM
putting form.
JIM. O'Nein is a short-bred thing and
looks lit. He beat Cognomen a length last
time out, when Cognomen was left at the
post, swung wide to the fence and generally
miscued. at every angle II was a bad race
for Selected.
