servant layer to take the money on him
and hold out Campaigner.
Campaigner with Miller up was backed
by his people and many others as we'll the
three-year-old carrying some very heavy
commissions. The others had little sup
port, although Old Colony nbbled at
for place and strongly backed for the small
end Of the purse.
Although MIller's saddle slipped right
after the start and he was at a correspa nd
ing disadvantage on Campaigner that colt

The erratic colt was rank before the race
