stretch run made by Horton in the las
race of the afternoon, mile and fifty

quotation chalked against the Burns
handicap winner OF 1903, but such g
spirited play developed on Rosario ano

Horton stumbled and, as Harry
Thatcher led the field into the back
stretch. the first choice looked hope
lessly out of it. Even when the stretch
for home was reached his chances
looked blue, but Jack Martin squeezed
through openings no wider than fence

Rosario a head on the wire. Redwald,

third.
Bob Smith had Double Six tuned to
