after Crimmns. Odom and Willie Davis had

Again in the Nursery Handicap, for two

rough riding and fouling that the crowd
was willing to bet that Pasadena, IL to /.

of the course, humping Belle Strome, Dande-

an ace OF going to his knees. Even with
this handicap Glorif1er str uggled gamely
on, but the task was too great for him ana
he could not extend himself, even under
