FRANK LUBOC
LOWERS RECORD
Goes Mile and a Quarter in
2:10-Big Crowd at
Last Days Races.

The most successful weeks racing in the
history of the Utah state fair came to an
end yesterday afternoon when Frank Lu-
book galloped home a winner in the big
handicap. His time was 2;10 for the mile
n a quarter. which is not only the best
time ever made on a Utah track, but
which horsemen claim is the worlds rec
ord for a half-mile running track. Lubbock
is owned by the Irwin brothers of Chey-
enne and while ii was known that Wyom-
ing horse could go some over the long
route, Mix Jordan, the winner at the
same distance on Tuesday, was a strong
faVorite in the betting.
In this race the field could not have
gotten away in better form. AS they
rounded the turn after the getaway, La
book forged TO the front, closely followed
by Nabonnassar and Sam Barber. Lubbock
led the procession on the first circle OF the
track and passed under the wire a second
time a half a length over Sam Barber,
Mike Jordan going strong in third posi-
ton. half a length ahead of Sir Wesley.
On the last turn Jordan moved up to sec
ond place and challenged Lubbock for the
lead, rounding the turn. Lubbock never
faltered and held his own, coming down
the stretch. Jordan on the outside, half a
length behind. The pair drew away from
the field as they neared the wire and
finished in this position, both going
strong.
Upset in Named Race.
Another upset of the day was in the
special named race when Foxy Togo low
cred the cOlOrs of Marshal Murat, who
was favorite in the race. Devine's old
campaigner took the first heat, but tired
and was unable to hold his feet when
pushed in the next two heats Foxy Togo
never changed his pace from the start and
won pulled up at the wire in the two sue
ceeding heats. Togo is n Utah bred horse,
sired by Altoka and damned by Miss Foxy.
He had but twelve days training for the

Ogden. had easy pickings in the free-for-
all, beating such horses ae Kangaroo,
Oveta and Dan 4. The Ogden horse took
two straight heats each time coming I'M
der the wire an easy winner
The half mile dash,was one of the pref
test races of the day as viewed from
the grand stand. The field got away
clean and on the first turn was punched
so the riders looked like one mass of
color. Katie Crews came out of the field
in front as they entered the back stretch
and held her lead to the wire, although
both Nancy W. and Black Joe were right
on her heels at the finish.
The track was again in excellent shape
and the program of six races. three har-
ness and three runs, were pulled off
without a hitch. About 5000 people saw
the races. the crowd as usual packing the
stands TO the limit and overlooking around
the outside of the track.
