THE FILLY STILL UNBEATEN
YVES MADE TRACK RECORD

NEW ORLEANS, February 23-Mollie
Montrose yesterday won the rather ambig-
uous title of Queen of the Fillies." So
many have held ii that 1t is almost with
out honor. She won the Martha Washing
ton stakes at the Fair Grounds track. Be
hind her, at the finish. were Notasulga and
Whisl Broom, her greatest rivals for turf
honors. They were unable to make her ex-
tend herself. and she won hard held.
1t was Mollie Montroses fifth consecu-
tive race. She has a string of unbroken
victories to her credit. So far she has
never felt the sting of whip and spur All
of her races have been won cleverly, with
plenty of speed in reserve. Training and
racing have improved her form. She is the
only two-year-old here with clean rec
ord, and the only one that seems likely to
withstand the ordeal of training to COM
pete successfully with youngsters of her
age in the north.
In spite of the excellent showing that
MOlle Montrose made In her previous
races. she was not made the favorite in
choice. The latter's recent good form and
her purchase for 5000 threw a glamour
around her that caused racegoers to over
look Mollie Montrose. Accordingly there
was a brisk demand for Notasulga at Z to
and IL to 10. while only small bets were
placed on Mollie Montrose at ID to 8.
Yves won the second race, q QdSn or
seven furlongs, in 1.27 49, which eQualed
the track record. He ran much faster than
the time shows. He was practically left
at the post and had to make up dozen
lengths on the leaders. At the finish he
was three lengths before Ohiyesa.
