looking chestnut filly passed through,
supposed TO be Sweet Pepper. and the ring
Immediately posted TO l against her
chances. Griffin lost no time in backing her
down to TO 8 and then the real Sweet
Pepper also a chestnut, was sent into the
paddock. She went to the post and simply
breezed the half-rnile After the race Crit
