is just about 80 days further advanced
in her training than his mare but that
after her race last Saturday and with
a good stiff workout this week. all he
needs to insure Finnetta's victory Is
some place to race and a starter.
The second ace looks like a good
workout for Bonnie Lou as h trotted
a mile 10 days ago in 2:27 while Pat
rick Mckinney and Marshall Direct
raced three hard heats the first matinee
and their best time was 2:33: n-Sallie
Goodman was right she could doubtless
take the whole field into camp be-
cause this mare is a real honest-to-
goodness t%rotter, but she has been on
the sick list for the past few days and
Is in no shape to do herself justice.
AS a curtain raiser, four youngsters
will face the barrier and 1t looks like
a very open race. Luther McCallum
IL making his debut as a matinee driver
one will be no novelty to him as he
used to brush. up and down Union ave-
nue.. when that thoroughfare was a
dirt speedway and where everyone who
thought they owned a fast horse used
to meet Sunday afternoons and try
them out.
Jordan McNees sent Memphis Girl
out last Saturday and won a blue with
her, so tomorrow will start Burning
Star, Jr.. and if looks count for any
thing why the race is over. Burning
Star, Jr., is a very handsome fourryear-
old by Burning Star 2:14A, and out of
the great littleS %trotter, Pretty Polly.
Hal Baron and Memphis Girl.
Hal Baron and Memphis Girl are both
in viii Rash's stable now and both
worked nicely this week, They seem
to be as promising a pair of youngsters
as nave been shown in some time.
The free-for-all trot is certainly a
hard one to pick. Miss S16 won the
event last week by taking the first
and third heats, and although she was
very tired thes last mile, at the same
time she was. not strung and the race
is bound to help her. DIR. Buckley IL

ones in this event after her splendid
race last week, which she won II

The mare is very fat and has ha,

Princelite and Melba both had plent

II has been decided to start Il
races from now on promptly at 2:3
