only other starter, by a length. The
race was for all ages, at one mile.
Seven starters. including Billy
Kelly, Audacious, Jeg and Thund

those four and Bet MOsie. the other
eligible, were scratched. and the

Salmon filIy left to fight it out alone.
Earl Sande. had the leg up on
| Knobbie, while Jimmy Butwell was
aboard Careful . Knobbie had the
rail position. The two broke almost
as one, the advantage. II any, lying
with the colt.
Sande forced the RancOcas Stable

the two hit the quarter-pole Knob

lead. They raced this way TO the
three-uuarters, Knobbie leading by
a short length. with the foxy But

waiting for the gruelling drive
through the stretch.

Hitting the final turn Sande
opened up with the colt ButweI.
however, sensed his move before 1t
was made. The two. therefore,
made their bids together But the

l. is a coincidence of this weight
forage series that the winners OF
the two races already run both
have the same sire-Wrack. Both
are 3-year-olds-Carefu a filly and
Knobbie a colt.
Good Times shows Class.
| l. s. Cosden's 2-year-old Good
Times again proved his worth when
he lead a better than-average field
OF Youngsters to the wire in the
Hotel Herman Purse over the SIX
furlong route Included among
those which the Cosden gelding led
were Montfort Jones Emotion
which had made somewhat of rep
utation on the Metropolitan circuit
and the Quincy Stables Relay.
Starter Milton got the field of
we'll and Relay Immediately forged
to the front. Good Times, however
refused to let Relay get too far
away and at the final turn came
over on the outside to take the lead
from the Quincy Stables entry.
Jockey Fator on Emotion also made
his bid at the head of the stretch
but the Jones flly hadn't nearly
enough left to get to Good Times.
Emotion, however, managed to take
second money from the fast firing
! Relay.
The first field victory of the meet
/ ing occurred in the third race. an
event for 3-year- olds and upwards
at six furlongs. Twelve starters
paraded In this event and when
| the numbers were hung up it was
seen that the field had finished one
two with Paul Connolly in third po-
sition.
Silence and Moroni were the lucky
members of a field of four to get
down at the head of the procession.
Both were contenders throughout
and in the final drive were Eooo
enough to OUTRAGE Paul Connelly
| Orderly and Rhinestone. two when
were popular with the players. both
got off to poor starts. and neither
was ever a serious contender.
Prelude Wins Opener.
The victory of the Lexington sta
ble's Prelude in the opener pro-
vided more or less of an upset as
e. F. whitney's Caretaker was fig
ured ah the class of this event.
Prelude and ]. s. Cosden's Roulette,
however, both led the highly touted
Caretaker to the wire. The latter
was off to a poor start and was
never able to get to the leaders.
Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark's jumper.
Last Man. gave the star shooters
another chance to glgoat over the
less fortunate talent when he cap
tured the Junior Steeplechase from
Briganna in a final stretch drive to
the wire. sobrigade was considered
the best of the lot by the wise ones.
but the osoris stables Topper was
never a factor. Yorkshire fell at
the third jump, throwing Jockey
