the red hot favorite, did not finish in
the money. Taos came in first in the
fifth race, but on hearing BrusselIs

came on when ready and easily beat
Kismet, Jr. Miss Ruth finished game
ly and had little trouble to secure show
money from Albion, which showed
speed for part of the distance Turn

probably perform better this afternoon.

pocket in the stretch.
Gold Sitter was backed from even
money to to 10, while Don Domo re-
ceded from to to to at post time.
Platoon was third choice at to 1. Gold
Sitter made the pace the first half,
when Don Domo challenged him and
the gray ghost" came in an easy win
ner.

place money from Platoon, which acted
badly and got away none too well, but
came with rush at the end.
Toupee, off WE'LL was taken away
back and Keogh made his move when
q, ,sr,, no
for future calculations. The others
showed nothing worthy of mention.
Josie's Jewel was made favorite for
the third race at to 5. Stoessel was
backed point to close at to 1. Fon-
casta receded in the betting from to
to l. and Line of Life was played
from as good as Is to to l at post
time. Mcdaniel on Stoessel allowed
Line of Life and Foncasta to make the
pace for six furlongs, then came with a
rush and won going away. Foncasta,
although tiring at the end, got the
place easily from Line of Life, which
was quitting badly the final sixteenth,
but had no trouble to hold Josie's Jew
ell safe.
Bonnie Reg closed at to 10, backed
from to 5. Givonni Balerio closed at
II to 5 and TaXer was played from as
high as 40 to 20 to l and received a
very heavy play for show. The "dago"
horse set a fast pace, with Robert
Mitchell hanging on him like leech
until turning into the stretch, where
Bonnie Reg Joined the leaders and in
a hard drive won by nose from Gil
vonni.

to l. Taos came in for a heavy play
and closed at to 1, backed from 10.
Kamsack opened gap of two legths
the first quarter with Commida second
and Elmdale third. Turning into the
stretch Elmdale got through on the
rail and Taos came on the outside,
swerving near the rail.
At the paddock gate Xoerner pulled
directly in front of Elmdale causing
the latter to pull up. Elmdale was
beaten at the time, and -<oerner could
have won without resorting to unfair
tactics.
Morendo was the third favorite of
the afternoon to reward his hackers,
but not until they had a little hearts
ease" as Dazzle opened a gap of five
lengths the first half, to quit when chal-
denged by the favorite From there

ner. Allopath, always close to the
pace maker, got second money in
drive from Freesias. Needful ran his
