Valor Heavily Played
In the Catskill Lunetta ruined both
the populace and Il real coup as well,
for the Rancocas Stables Valor was
played like winner already unsaddled.
Nalor, however, showed little of the
speed or gameness he had displayed
earlier in the -son. Fl P Whitneys
Ararat went g.. to the front shorty
after the ST. r and cut out a dizzying
pace.
Valor and War Note, several lengths
back, hooked up in private duel, ard
when it was all over both had run
themselves into the ground Turning
for home it seemed Ararat would surely
win, for he had opened up 4 lead of
three lengths on the nearest contenders.
Jockey E. Scobie rated Lunetta off
the killing pace and not until the turn
was reached did he call upon the flly.
He moved up fast and to the outside
of the field coming round the bend. At
the turn home he went to the outs De
of Valor and Ararat 1t was not until
he reached the eighth pole that Scobie
finally nailed the pacemaker. Once
Lunetta looked the gelding in the eye
Ararat seemed to appreciate the fact
that the jig was up. Though Ararat
quit badly in the last furlong, he al
ready held commanding lead for the
place over Valor.'

This gave Ambrose chance to sneak
