afternoon. as the Hamilton stables

the maiden victory OF the winner. He
had been selected frequently to do
the trick in the past, but had failed
repeatedly, and his victory yesterday
surprised everybody.

win. The reliable son of Bassetlaw

they were not the favorites. so the
crowd did not have a chance TO roar.
Likely Dieudonne made the pace to
the stretch, when Phil Mohr assumed
