prentice boy, Cahill was in the saddle.
He had ridden the colt in his last pre-
vious start, but prior TO that Fischer
had been riding the youngster. Karen
nina. the favorite, was knocked TO her
knees in jam soon after the start and
lost all chance Warden Yell, the sec
ond choice, closing stoutly, beat San
Oak. a 80 TO / shot, for the place in the
closing strides. Katie Gleason, Ken

Forest Wilson rode Little Joker. the
public choice for the third, in a way
that was calculated TO give the back

For a mile he lay far out of it, and,
coming with a rush in the stretch,
