While the horses were at the post Caribo con-
tinued his performance with no extra charge,
and after giving a series of demonstrations on
bucking that would have made an outlaw pinto
pony hang his head. he crashed through the
inner rails and started up the main track with
his head between his legs and Hewitt, his
jockey, staring bankly and helplessly into an
unobstructed view of eternity. "A good hold

post to have Caribo withdrawn; "a nice, cool

starch out of him, however. and when he took

fall.

left only Balford and Erie to fight it out and
the former had trouble in winning by fifteen
lengths. Crusader was remounted and finished
in time to get third money. Balford was the
medium of a profitable plunge made by his
owner and friends, and was backed from Fights
to D to =.
