would have ended their suffering. A heavy
wind blew the chilling rain up and down the
lawn. and the track was 30 muddy that horses
and riders in each race were hardly recos-
nized when they finished. Altogether II was

have experienced this year.

all stages was pronounced about the most
incompetent piece Of horsemanship that has
hscp seen on local track this year.

all over the track, but never getting her down
to business until the last 100 yards. Then
