oeidom mas young racer received
the plaudits Of crowd that Norwich
did when he led the Rancocas Stables
star, kai-Sang, over the finish line to-
day. 1t wasn't the fact that he was
favorite that brought the crowd to its
feet as he passed the judges stand. 1t
was his gameness and determination to
get home in front that earned for him
one OF the greatest honors ever paid
to 8 winner of a -year-old stake.
Regret was felt on all sides when it
was announced that Miss Joy had de-
clined the issue, for the racegoers
wanted to see the question of suprem-
acy in the two-year- division settled
In this. event, but the two grueling
races Miss Joy had this week caused
Jones to scratch his filly and save her
fer the big race next Saturday.
kai-Sang Races Well
No little credit must be given to Kali
Sang. for he raced with Norwich from
the start and made the great colt ex-
tend himself to win; in fact, he was
wearing down the victor in the closing
strides. 1t was the first time that Nor
vlch has felt the sting of the whip, and
it was the way he responded to the
extra urging that impressed one that
he is colt far above the ordinary.
Twelve of the best two-year-oIds in
training went to the post in this race
which was worth S9,075 to the winner.
Interest conferred on Morovich and Kali
Sang, while the others were only nib
bled at. Starter Cassidy, after delay
OF few minutes, got the field away on
perfect line, with Kai-Sang first to
show in front. He was closely fol-
lowed by Sir Hugh and Norwich with
the others in close formation.
AS soon as the field settled down to
running, Norwich showed his nose in
front with Ka-Sang right at his heels.
Going to the far turn. Norwich drew
out to a clear lead of q length over
Kai-Sang with Sir Hugh hanging on
length and half back Sunreigh
was fourth and Oil Man in fifth place on
the outside.
Half way around the turn Norwich
and Kai-Sang drew away from the
others, and then began a struggle be-
tween two game colts that has not been
surpassed this season. Making the turn
for home Frankie Keogh stayed close to
the rail, which made Sande, on Kali
Sang, go little wide. This gave Nor
vlch an added advantage of half a
length. After getting Strengthened out
for the run to the wire Keogh, seeing
kai-Sang right back of him, let out an
extra wrap, but try az he would be
could not shake off the bothersome
Kai-Sang.
Kai-Sang Races Well
After passing the eighth pole Kai-
Sang began to cut down the leaders
advantage, and the crowd began to
shout for the Rancocas colt. Saving
all the strength he could for Norwich,
Keogh waited until Kai-Sane looked
too dangerous and then drew his whip.
He waved it in the air a few times to
let the colt know that he had a battle
on and then brought it down on his
TANKS. Norwich drew away slightly
under the punishment, but Kai-Sang
kept coming en- under vigorous urging
slayer and went over the line winner
from Sande. Norwich proved the better
by half length.
1t was wonderful contest, we'll de-
served victory for Benjamin Block 8
colt and no disgrace for Kai-Sanp.
AS Tor the others, they were never
in the hunt after the first quarter of
mile had been covered. Sir Hugh
ran back of the two leaders to the last
furlong, where he had plenty and
dropped out of it. Oil Man which was
'OiSSN w 1ull Oli tHt OUTSIDE most OF
the way, came along and finished third
ten lengths behind Kai-Sang.
1t was by far the best two-year- old
race of the year and had the big crowd
at the highest pitch Of excitement dur
ing the drive through the stretch.
