most sensational finishes of the year. Saw

held at l to 2 in the race to-day. showed
wonderful gameness at a time when he ap-
peared beaten. but Gray, who had the
mount, held Savable together and rode him
out to victory. Probably the most remark
able run by any of the seven starters was
that of Judge Hines, winner of the Ken
lucky Derby and Hawthorne handicap.
Trailing along far back until reaching the
stretch, he closed with a hair-raising rush
and would certainly have won had the dis
lance been a mile and a quarter or the
Derby route of a mile and a half, accord
ing to the belief Of the majority OF horse
men and trainers at the track. Bernays,
highly touted for the Derby and second to
Savahle in the M. Lewis Clark stakes. was
never a factor in to-day's contest. Fearing
injury from interference, Gray had instruc-
lions from Trainer Wishard to go to the
front with Savable and keep him clear.
Gray obeyed as well as he could. but Saw
able was unable to outsprint Linguist until
the half mile pole. There he got in front.
and at the final eighth pole looked a GER
tain winner. Then Linguist and Judge
Hines began to close in on the favorite.
and not until the judges hung out the num-
bers could it be really certain how the three
had finished.
The absentees from the race were Claude.
Manru and Au Revoir. Savable was made
favorite, with Bernays a second choice at
4 to l. GregOr X. and Linguist were equal
third choices at 8 to l. Judge Hines opened
at 10 to / and drifted to 80 to 1 at post time
on reports of recent illness. Gilfain and
Maxey Blumenthal were each 20 to l. The
weather and the track conditions were per-
feet. Summaries:
