pank Lord by a head. hanging ap a new
worlds record. A difference in the weights
NAV have had something to do with this i'm
provemcnt in form.
The defeat Of Ginette, after eleven con-
sAcutive Victories. came next. The plunRers
took 10 9 about her with confidence. Miller
rode her with waiting orders, instead Of taking
her 10 the front. as Clark did in her last race,
with the result that Cressina. 30 to I, who had
no speed to speak Of the last time out. beat
her in IS, the time made by Glnette on Mon
day, when she beat Dolly Spanker in a hard
race. .,. Cd. ID.
Kentucky Beau in his previous race. with

Shaw rode strictly TO orders. Yves, for that
matter. was much the best. as he ran around
his field TO take the leadership, while Grapple.

The last time Orphan Lad ran he was prac-
ideally left at the post. But with Miller mp

After the slaughter the dope artists began
TO figure out what a one dollar parlay on the
six winners would have amounted IN. The
result Of careful figuring showed that such a
wager would have Melted $40. 800. 900 on the
day, but with this dream in mind there were
lots Of pikers who couldn't muster up a dollar
after they had paid their railroad fares Every
bookmaker won big money on the day except
George Rose, who lost about $40, 900. as several
Of the long shots were well backed with him.
He paid out one bet OF O.. ZOO to 500 on Yves,
which was made by a man named j. Moran.
