for consistency, speed and stamina.

Using two-year-olds, justified the good
opinion Of him expressed by horsemen
by winning the opening race OF the
dav in the same impressive manner IN
which his two previous starts had been
won Held as an almost prohibitiYe
odds-ou favorite in the betting, he
gave his hackers no concern at any
stage Of the race Miller had him on
on even terms with Bravoure gener-
ally regarded as the contender and
the colt made his field look cheap in
the first quarter. Showing dazzling
speed. he opened four lengths at the
head of the stretch. but Bravoure
came through the stretch with rare
gameness and cut down the winners s
lead to a length and a half at the end.
Pajaroita ran to form and took third
money.

MILLER ON A BAD ONE
The Boozmakers took advantage OF
BfiIer's farewell mount by handing to
the fayorite players a lemon in the
fifth race in the shape of Alaric. Those
who refused to stand for Alaric went
TO Harbor with equally disastrous re-
suits. il which the wretched ride the
horse received from Kirschbaum cut
