HOW THE TRAINERS FELT
Out in the field Fred Burlew. who trained Bel
dame, watched his mare with emotion that
| found expression in the merciIess gnawing Of
| unltghted cigar. Jimmie Rowe who saddled
| Delhi, following in a restricted circle, but
| with huge preposterous strides, the progress of
| his brown colt. Had the strides of the brown
| colt been as proportionately long Jimrnie's
| he would have walked home.
| WHERE DELHI SURRENDERED
| Rounding the turn in the straight the decisive
battle was fought From the grandstands it
could be seen that O'Nei had asked the mare
| seemed as If she had failed to respond. shout
| of triumph went up from the shareholders of
| Delhi. Hes got her beat to flnishi'' She's
| sulkin'i" There's nothin' to it but Delhi"
