win 1he Great Filly Stakes last year. but

fact that she refused 10 break from the
Ja--ier on two occasions. and sent her out
10 carry his colors- She was not on her
hest behavior and broke last when the bar

cCntending position and led by an open
length swinging into the stretch. She tired
right al the end from her early efforts, and
vas beaten by the width of a hand in the

was tvo or three lengths behind the timing
faz when II fell. so III all probability she
ran the distance in III SIS, if not faster.
