when McCafferty viii be required to ex
plain the sudden recovery of her spee'
coincidentai with a plunge that backe'
her odds from s down to 4. In rae

public choices 10 finish in the money
He ran third. All of the winners wer'
well backed by wise bettors, and man!
Of the bookmakers had losing day
the losses of those making big books
running well into the thousands. In
competency in the saddle was re
sponsible for the poor showing mad'
by several of the favorites-

Rudabek. on which Borel had th'
mount Borel. who has developed rough
riding tactics of late, also let Rudabel
put Combury against the fence in th'
+1r, nh fnlSn6(
second the judges promptly disquali
fed the horse. This advanced Revol
to second place and gave Combury th'
show. The race was won by Phalanx
backed from to 6, which got up IL
the closing strides to beat Rudabek
head. At the time Combury was in
terfered with he was In the lead and
appeared to be winning. After having
been knocked back at the start, Kirsch
baum attempted to make up the grounC
that Tawasentha had lost, but the filll
met with more interference at thu
stretch turn and attempted to run out
FRISKY AS A HoPHEAD
In the race won by Monte Lucille
none of the horses with which she was
running could ever get near her. Sh'
led from wire to wire and won will

ite, to excess in the early part trying
TO overtake her and the result was tha
his mount tired in the stretch and wa
beaten for the place by Elevation =
the final drive.
Irish Mike, one of Barney Schreiber'i
Sain colts, whose recent races had le'
the public to believe that he was al
in, came TO life in the 2 year old race
after having shown some promise II
his earlier form, and, backed dowl
TO from 10 by wise" money, won b.
a half length in a furious drive witt
Warden Yell and San Oak These three
youngsters had the race to themselvei
ali the way and Kirschbaum's superb
ority over the other boys decided thu
issue. Sir Wesley. the receding favor

time prominent, Jockey Jarrett beint
Of no help TO him. Othmar, regarde.

Fountain stable apprentice, and cut ~
hgure in the running
Titus II, the second choice, won thl
third, a six furlong sprint. in a driv'
with the suddenly improved Peggl
O'Neal Mentry achieved flying star
with Titus and the gap which the hors,
was thus enabled to open in the earl,
part Of the race was sufficient to Civ
him the victory. Yellowstone captures

could not get to the front and fnishe;
in the ruck. Jockey Rettig succeede,
in getting Hugh MCGOWAN, a contende
whose odds had steadily heightened ii
