Track from Classy Field.

One of the classics of the Saratoga
meeting was run of this afternoon

six furIongs. A classy field of two
year-olds faced starter Cassidy. in
fact the best two-year-olds shown
this season.
Papp. who has run so consistently.
was made the public choice. but his
crushing impost of 13o pounds was a
trifie too much for him and he had
to surrender his well-earned laurels TO
Jack Hare. jr.. who was an outsider
In the memory books" Happy Go
Lucky was third. AS the finish was
recorded, the winner Just got up IN
time to beat Papp. and had PaDp not
conceded the handicap Of ten pounds
, TO the winner he surely would have
won.
As it was the winner did his utmost
TO get home first. The Grab Bag is
one OF the features at the Spa each
year and always brings together the
best class of two-year-olds that have
been shown. New Haven accounted
for the steeplechase, who beat Grey
Leg two lengths, while Web Carter
was Two ltuSlhs Deillhu AhS stSOiN
! horse.
The surprise OF the afternoon came
in the fourth race, a handicap. at
one mile, when Tea Caddy beat such
shifty three-year-olds as Crimper.
Dodge, Manager Waite, Flittergold
and other good ones. Raj PARIS Grim
per was looked upon as having the
race sewed up. but he was not quite
~ fa
Caddy. The latter's forte is generally
over the six-furiongs route, but to-
day he navigated the mile in 1:3s fat.
which is extremely good time at this
course, in fact the best time made
for a similar distance this year.
The proverbIaI outsider again ac-
counted for the nightcap, when Pleas
ant Dreams. paying to /. and under
rousing ride by Jockey Buxton got
home I'm time to beat Blackboard. the
slider, was third.
