Penn. the fast two-year-old, won the
Juvenile stakes at the fair grounds yes
terday in a breeze. The little colt had
the others outclassed all the way and
there was never a doubt as to the result.
The win of this race nets Penn $500, which
puts him nicely in the lead of the money
winning horses at the track. Geneva got
the place money of S125 by a neck from
Rey el Tovar, which got SO, the third
money.
The rere was one that aroused the most
interest Of all of those on an interesting
card. There were those. however, who
we're afraid of the 30 pounds carried by
Penn, and for that reason Rey ell TOvaT,
carrying only los pounds, was we'll
PLAYED second choice. During the eight
minutes at the post TOvar fTetted con-
tinually, which took some Of his speed
and probably kept him from being second.
Under any circumstances, however, he
could never have been a contender with
Penn.
The first three races of the day we're
all surprises. In the first race, The
MOuser, at 20 to /, surprised the talent
The MOUser was the longest shot in the
race. and with odds at 40. 10 and 10
across the boards was little played. A
few days ago he made his first start and
finished last. On this showing she was
never considered as contender. She
took the lead away from Friar of FL
gin at the first turn and ran like a wild
horse for five furlOngs. She weakened
IN the stretch, lasting Just long enough to
beat Yankee Tourist, the favOrite.
Altenberg, at 10 to l, was almost as
much of q surprise. In his last race he
had shown scant speed and little was ex-
Dected of him yesterday against a faster
field. AS it was, however, he secured the
lead at the half and galloped away from
the field without apparent effort. In his
last race Work BOX ran last. which would
indicate that he was out of form With
remarkable inconsistency ne won yester-
days third race against a fast field with
ease
Legatee. heavily PLAYED at post time.
won the fifth race handily.
The sixth race was a feature event in
itself. Among the starters in this race
were Hereafter. Sam F, Ontario Oregon,
La Chata and Sevenfull, rated among the
fastest sprinters at the track It was won
by Hereafter by a scant nose. Sam F.,
the whirlwind quarter horse, quit a frac-
ton of a second too soon and lost the
money. Hereafter opened the favOrite,
but at post time Sam +. was the favOrite-
He was i'm a jam on the Irst turn and was
almost thrown to his knees by Hereafter,
ana this prevented him from starting as
early as is his wont When he did get
clear he showed his usual early speed
and opened a wide gap. He started to
tire IN the stretch but finished gamely,
though he couldn't quite last long
enough
The summary of the races follows:
