Seven races with big fields in each
are up for decision at Pimlico this after
noon. The horses are pretty well
matched throughout, and the talent is
bound to have a lively time picking
winners.
The track is now in the best Of shape.
and 1910 is liable to be marked against
several more records before the meeting
closes.
There was not so much excitement
about the racing of yesterday as there
has been on days before, but yet much
Of interest showed up during the after
noon, and the crowd was well satisfied
with the sport.
Another new track record was made
Hampton Court running the mile in 1.Sg
IN the Owners Handicap. The previous
record was 1:39 SIS, held by Nimbus and
Dreamer.
