was even worse than usual. q good

Tippity Witchet was a heavily
played favorite in the feature not
withstanding the fact that the ever
present dope seemed to favor the
cratic Bunga Buck. In fact the
Witch during the last few minutes
of the ring action was nearly

huge block of stable money was
dumped on the winner just at post
time. The final odds were to 4.
and after witnessing the witchss
clever racing it's easy to see that
thoSe who were down heavy knew
exactly what they were doing.
Bunga Buck Breaks In Lead.

The Witch went on to win easily.

early going he more than likely
would have got a larger cut of the
purse.
Kings Champion Wins Easily.
Kings Champion ran q typical

NJ ~ I'd
sixteenth miles. Ths McManus colt
has made a speciality of coming
from behind in his races in Mary
land this fall. In his last start at
Pimlico he was a bad last at the
FRS turn. but once under way he
merely breezed through the field
and won going away.
1t was much like that yesterday.
Slow to get away, the Champion
was in sixth position at the first
turn. ten lengths back of Irish
Dream. which was setting a fast
pace in the lead
ButweIl waited until the three
quarters was reached before he
made his bid with the McManus
colt Kings Champion was running
he moved up to second position as
in the drive to the wire he easily
outgamed Irish Dream. The latter,
though faltering at the finish, saved
the place position. while the best
that Sunnyland. the favorite, could
do was TO finish five lengths behind
Irish Dream for third money.

But at the finish only tickets on F.
E Browns Hephaistos. a hitherto
almost unheardof youngster. were
worth anything. And they were
worth plenty. as the winner was
held at a little better than % to

After the break the Brown colt
was never worse than second. Com

was in front. leading Hephaistos by

drive the ultimate winner cut the
lead. and at the wire was in front
