Thomas Rodrocks Senegambian was
made fayorite because OF a good race the
last time out when only the poor hand
| ling OF Haynes prevented him from win
ming. The tip that Mr.. Wright had some
! thing up his sleeve caused n strong play
on Hay Brook and these were the only
| two really played for first place The
| amateur took no chances Of getting in
| lam and went to the front soon after the
start BAY BROOK cleared his fences
| beautifully, while Chupadero, which was
| hanging on to the pacemaker leaped far
over the obstacles and lost considerable
| power. Starting the last lap, Senegam-
| bian was fifteen lengths behind the lead
crs. but Woke began driving him then.

| though Senegambian might go to the
front, Mr. Wright st,adicd his mount
in n twinklinp and both Bay Itrook and

the fayorite In the stretch rhupadero
