two best three-year-olds in American. Sy-
sonby and Tradition, left in.
At the opening betting the books quoted
Sysonby at . to 5, but the weight money
of the big plungers and the public forced
his price down to 4 to 5. Broomstick was
heavily played for the place, while ira
dition was moderately played. The prices
on the others ranged from 70 to to Ioo
to /.
After a few moments delay at the post
they were sent away to good start.
Sysonby rushed to the front at the nftlng
of the barrier, followed by Proper and
Tradition.
Coming to the paddock turn Sysenby led
by two lengths, with Proper and Tradition
running head and head, four lengths before
the rest of the field. In the run down the
back stretch Nicol gave SySonby Dreath-
ing spell, and Tradition raced up within a
length of the leader, but rounding the far
turn Nicol let out wrap on Sysonby, VINO

wire the easiest kind of a winner by TOUR
lengths. Proper was second. three-quarters
