which was due to "Puddin" McDaniel's
mastery finish. AS three favorites
won the public enjoyed n good days
sport and was amply compensated Tor
the trip.
The Major opened favorite for the
first race at to 1, but the heavy play
on Bonnie Reg, which was backed
from to to to ], made the
Majors price soar to 31a to 1. Maza-
nan was held at 5s all through the bet

failed to get up for show honors.
After Reservation was scratched for
the third race it was declared a
walkover for Jack Little, which was
held at to in the betting. Gold

whip to him and he did not finch a
moment Gorgalette in drive beat
out Daruma for third money. The lat
ter showed speed but quit. Chimney
Sweep was always outrun.
An ordinary lot faced Starter Dwyer
in the fifth race to go seven furlongs.

ding Daisy was installed an even
money favorite. CroiX Dor was Sec
end choice, with Taby Tosy at to l,
which was played from 10 to l. Bel
voir was as good as Z to l at post
time. A lot of smart play was directed
on Cardinal Sarto for third at to l.
Mortlake went to the front and open-
ed gap of five lengths at the half
mile pole with Belvoir and Meddling
Daisy next in line. The early pace
told on Mortlake in the stretch and
Belvoir came on next to the rail and

from to to 1. Remember was
backed to to 1 from 10 to /, and the
favorite, Treasure Seeker. whose price
went from to to II to 5. came in for
a heavy play at post time. Stella \

stretch turn, then picked up his field
one after the other, to win easily
