tional race was greeted with a great
er show OF affection than was
Roamer

being photographed.
Matt Byrnes. the man who trained
Salvador. witnessed the performance
and said TO Mr.. Miller: You have
great horse and fast track for
him to run over. / hope II stands
as record as long as Salvator's
did"
Mr.. Miller said: I'm mighty proud
TO be the owner of so true n horse as
Roamer. I think Shuttinger deserves
a lot Of praise for rating him so well
without a pacemaker. My hat is also
off to Jack Goldsborough. WHO trained
him"
