is said, does not like slow track,
opened favorite at to 2. When rain
began to fall he drifted to to 1.
Lucky Baldwin's Felipe Lugo re-
ceived the bulk of the play, being
backed from 6 to 1 to 4 to 1. He was
a close second choice to Dalvay, post
favorite at 19 to 5. Felipe Lugo was
wild horse for a mile. He kept the
lead, closely pressed by Prince Sill
verwings, but faltered turning for
home, where Phil Finch. coming up
with rush, got in front and stayed
there to the wire, winning by length
! and a half. Schoolmate. outrun the
first part, closed with a sensational
rush and only lost the place by mar
row margin.
Ed Corrigan's fast imported colt
MCGEE, the favorite, was badly beaten
in the fourth race owing to the mud.
1t was a mile dash and Bragg won
handily, with Ahola second and HUI
zah. which was left at the post, third.
1t was bad day for racing. Before
the first race was run it was clear and
warm. Suddenly a rain storm blew
up and between the running of the
third and fourth races rain fell in
torrents. making the track sloppy.
