As told two or three times before,
Ormesdae is big. fine looking young
ster. with wonderful girth, strongly
muscled legs and fine. smooth action.
He carried his field wide at the bend,
and then, after getting clear. bore
over still further and finished on the
outside. In this way he covered lot
of extra ground. as he had the rail
position at the post
Paddy Whack did not begin 20 run
his race. In fact, according 70 Charley
Borel. who had the mount. he would
scarcely run at all. Il seems a pity
that a colt which promised so highly
should develop a temperament so early
in his racing career. Honesty and will
ingness are two of the strongest char
acteristics of a good horse, and Paddy
Whack did not show these qualities
yesterday.
Shortly after the start he bolted
over toward the rail from an outside
position and refused 70 extend him
self. Borel applied the whip vigorous

and he was a distant trailer all the
way. II is possible, Of course. that he
may have been sick. but gave no indi-

about his disqualification. He sweryed
over sharply to the inside in the last
furlong and appeared 70 interfere with
Prince Of Como and Woodward. but no
claim of foul was made and no action
was taken by the stewards.
Paddy Whack must not be utterly
condemned for his one bad race. but IL
will take two or three honest ones 70
re-estabish the confidence previously
held in him by those who 20 racing.
One of the biggest crowds Of the

Is. He has the speed 10 race with

Max Hirsch deserves much credit
for keeping Morse King in such fine
condition. The horse has been cam

the season In Maryland. including a
journey % the Middle West for a try

Of the journey Simon Healy was
blamed By some for sending him 20 the
