cultural park was marked by close and
exciting finishes. The 2:11 pace was pro-
ductive of one of the surprises of the
week
In the first heat, Vision ably handled
by Harry Ward, flashed between the
sticks with Jonesa Basler, Rita II and
Tidal Wave hanging on in one Of the
prettiest finishes Of the meeting.
Miss Idaho was caught in the sixth
position, and from the work of the foot
ers in the first mile, the race was appar-
emily between Vision and Jonesa Basler.
Rita H drew the pole in this heat, but
was nosed out by Vision, which held
the lead to the half, with Tidal Wave.
Rita H and Jonesa Basler coming
strong
In the drive from the eighth pole,
with Ward hammering the horse des-
perately, Vision poked his nose over the
wire first, with Jonesa Basler and Rita
H tapping.
Idaho a Surprise
In the second heat the field was badly
strung out to the half pole, and it
looked like Vision again. But there
was something of a surprise in store
for those who imagined Basler, Tidal
Wave and Vision were the only horses
in the race. Rounding into the stretch,
Rita H and Vision were punched for
first position, with Jonesa Basler MAX
ing a strong bid.
Miss Idaho was fourth but as the
draw gate was reached, Springer let
his horse out a notch and she romped
away from the field, Jonesa Basler and
Vision being forced into the second and
third positions, respectively.
In the third heat Miss Idaho held the
lead throughout. Jonesa Basler broke
badly at the half, but made up ground
rapidly, finishing in the fourth posi-
ton. Miss Idaho had things her own
way to the stretch, when Ward made
a desperate effort to bring Vision to
the fore. Vision responded nobly, but
Idaho stalled him off in the final drive
and took the second mile with length
to spare. Irvine handled Tidal Wave
nicely In this mile and the handsome
big stallion was the third footer to 60
between the sticks.
s-.---s.-,.- Wins Easily
The fourth mile for Miss Idaho was
easier than any of the previous ones.
Tidal Wave and Rita H were the con-
tenders in this heat, but Miss Idaho
had no difficulty in disposing Of the
field, Springer bringing his horse over
in easy fashion, a winner by over
three lengths.
Trotters Obstreperous
The 2:20 trot caused sore distress and
worry to the judges. The first heat IN
this event was productive of excessive
and tiresome scoring. After about
twenty attempts to get the horses off,
Scorer Newton sent them to the barn
while the final heat in the three-year-
old pace was run Off
When the field was lined up for the
second attempt the drivers were given
four chances to get away, falling in
which they would have to protect them
selves After five scores the field was
sent away to as good start as could
be expected. Verona M, which was
mainly responsible for delaying the
race was given the best of the start,
taking the pole going out Of the stretch
and leading to the three-quarters. Here
Charlie T and Albuquerque came up,
with Ambush also in the reckoning. Am
bush and Charlie T came away from
Verona at the eighth, but Charlie T
disposed of the stallion handily and
won pulled up.
In the second heat Pat Rose got the
worst Of the start and was absolutely
last at the half, when he began to
make up ground rapidly and forced
Charlie T to to his best.
Charlie T Lost Footing
In the third heat, Ambush made a
bid in the last hundred yards, Charlie
I losing his footing and running the
balance of the distance to the wire. The
judges were inclined to give Charlie T
the heat and race, but after consulting
the rule book decided that Ambush was
entitled to the mile. The remaining
heats will be run off this afternoon
at 1880.
Money divided 80, 25 and 10 per cent,
according to ranking of horses in the
summary.
