place. She remained in that position
until Bribery ran his head off out I'm

stretch, Walsh hustled the Williams

in.
Bribery surrendered to Sue i'm the
stretch, but Miller kept the Holland
filly moving with enough speed to land
her in second place. nearly four lengths

race and held second place until the
stretch drive opened up with all It's
ferceness, when he chucked it and fin

casional pikers went to the juicy odds,
so that the books quit this race to

in easy striking distance until well
into the stretch when he sent the Mil

drive with Kinsan, Sheriff got the ver-
dict by nod.

in front too great and chucked it at the
three-quarters, Ney going ahead. From
this point to the wire Ney was never
in trouble, winning eased up.
