Erickson. were astride Tryster and
Billy Kelly, respectively.
That the victory OF the Salmon

| proven by the prIce-S22.2O for 81.
| Tryster and Billy Kelly were both
more heavily played in the ma
chimes than the winner. The field,

/ Sergeant. was well thought OF by
those who risk the baby's shoes TO

Careful Away Well
Careful was OF winging at the

coming out OF the back-stretch-
Coltilett had Tryster right on tbs
! flying flly's heels and kept him
| there throughout the long grind.
At the three-quarters Billy Kelly
moved up from fifth to third posi-
| ton and Jockey Erickson made his
bid with the Ross geldinR as the
| flying phalanx Numbered into the
stretch.
Hitting that final drive, Careful
was still leading and still cling

The Ross gelding tried and failed
He made his move and the courage
Gus Careful and equally courageous

the good horse he is. but he hadn't
enough TO overtake the daughter o.
wrack who seemed 20 os
as fresh at the finish as she was at
the start.
FnIy Won Easily.
Careful won easily. but TrSster
was under a drive to stall off the
fast closing Billy Kelly.
Thus the third and last OF a series
OF stakes with $4,000 added al the
Laurel track passed into turf his

1t is frequently said in racing cir
cles that anyone who wagers
against Willis Sharpe Kilmer's Ex-
terminator is a fool because Exter-
minatOr is considered capable Of
winning at least 80 per cent OF his
races.
1t is also said that he who wagers
on Kilmer's speed king Is likewise
fool because when he does win
the odds are so short as not 10 pay
for the risk.
Therefore there must have been
a lot Of so-called fools at Laurel
yesterday. But the fools" who
hadn't waEered on him lost and
those who had were repaid at the
rate Of $3.50 for the customary 50.
probably the best odds on Exter-
minator during the present racing
season.
The victory OF Exterminator was
In the fourth race. a handicap for
S-year-olds and upwards at one
mile and a quarter. DamasK was
a luke-warm favorite. while Nv

with the son of Uncle Busy Lass.

Archer fsltered. He had run him
self into the ground and Ny Dear

passed him as though he was
standing still.
; My Dear couldn't hold on Ex-
terminator in the final drive to the
wire and was forced to finish sec

had been so much in the spotlight
: in the early going, failed when
challenged by Bygone Days and
dropped completely out Of the pic
ture, leaving what was left Of the
purse to the Brockmiller 3-year-old.
