Of the race, unless two or more fast heats
were ridden in the same time. In which case
there was to be another heat bet we the
winners OF the tied heats. The first and
third heats were each ridden In / minute
8 seconds, but Michael Ferrari won the fourth
heat In 1 minute 3-5 seconds. faster time, thus
disposing of the chances OF the first and third
heat winners.
Zanes was In the fifth heat and set such a
hot pace part of the way that Dupries led
him over the line by half a dozen lengths
after he had tired badly on the last turn.
The time tied that of the previous heat. how
ever, so Zanes had another chance. There
was considerable ~jockeying in the deciding
heat, but Zanes was the best track general
and had the most speed. He rode over tho
tape sitting up. half a length ahead of Ferrari.
Zanes did not have much trouble In the final
heat OF the quarter mile handicap. He
won In 81 seconds. which was 5 seconds faster
than Krebs's time in the professional quarter
