lar victory, at least locally. The win
ner was ridden by Fred Wilson, Sara
toga boy, who is likely to make repu-
tation for himself if given a chance.
He put up finish that the best of our
so-ealled star riders might envy, and
throughout the race he showed not
only good judgment of pace, but brains
In quantity. He won because he
utilized every advantage that presented
itself and particularly In the selec-
ton of the best going for his final,
irrepressible dash.
Bo Mcmillan is likely to prove a
mighty useful two-year-old before
snow flies. He may lack the finer
grain Of championship class, but none
can question his gameness after to-day's
hearty effort. He broke no stop watches
in running the three-quarters in 1:18,
yet 1t must be remembered that a dry
ing out track absolutely treacherous to
form prevailed. And, further, that Bo
Mcmillan was taken the long way
home
Max Rirsch viewed Bo McMillan's
triumph with mingled feelings of pride
and regret. The good colt was his
property until a few days ago when

Vox Populi took quite a spill in this

Each Of these two powerful Eastern
stables was represented by an entry,
Mr.. Wilson by Tall Timber and Forest
Lore, sons of the mighty Campfire, and
the Whitney estate by Moonraker and
Spot Cash. Moonraker, which races

Fate was against the Whitney for
tunes for once. Moonraker and Spot
Cash drew the rail and No. positions
respectively. The former. which had

cause of misbehavior at the post. Moon

over backward with Frankie Keogh.

Moonraker Soon Faltered
Despite Moonraker and several other
fractions two-year-olds, no field was
ever sent away in better alignment
Moonraker, in the heavy going at the
rail, soon faltered and fell back. He
had left his race at the post. Butwell,
on the extreme outside with Tall Tim
ber, had the best of it in the sprint for
the turn and succeeded easily in draw
ing out to a good lead. Penman, de-
spite his hurts, hung on gamely with
Spot Cash. Around the turn he hooked
up with Tall Timber and for quarter
mile the pair raced as team. Banter
and Bo Mcmillan meanwhile were fol-
lowing the pace closely. Butwell swung
wide at the turn into the stretch with
Spot Cash outside of him. But Freddie
Smith swung even wider. The entire
fleld, with the exception of Moonraker,

Johnny Lotus saddled the winner in
the Oakridge Stables Runelise. This
handsome miss is full sister of the
famous Norwich. She did not disgrace
the Runnymede Hymir hearthstone at
any stage of the journey. Lotus, who

Runelise won" just as Norwich won
the first time cut. Cliff Robinson never
let her out of an exercise gallop. She
broke just a bit greenly on the out
side, but inside the first furlong
whizzed past the others. Then Robin
son took a lapful of his mount and
coasted home. Runelise is q most
promising Ally. She may prove the
champion two-year-old flly of the year.
OF late years only Norwich and Man

impressively.
