spare. As it was Miller had strong lead
with Ballot going up the backstretch, but
Radtke drew alongside with Dandelion in
the far turn. where they raced like team
into the homestretch. Then Ballot seemed
to hang in his stride and opposite the field
stand Dandelion led by scant half length.
Then Miller went to the whip and Ballot,
under heavy drive. responded with superb
courage, gradually wearing down the older
horse until the last jump the Keene colt
got his nostrils In front
