the first quarter. 1t brought him around
the elbow and into the homestretch a
length and half in front Of his oppo-
nents, who were led by Goshawk. Down
the long straightaway Sunference
bounded along at a fast pace and with
out apparent effort. while Goshawk. who
was following. was under drive.
At the final eighth pole Sunference
began to show signs of distress and at
the same time Bud Lerner began to
come like streak from the rear. With
only furlong to go, few If any, in the
crowd could select the winner. Some
declared Surference the sure winner,
while others proclaimed Bud Lerner the
victor. And at the final sixteenth pole
the result was still in doubt, but just
then Goshawk began his rush. 1t was a
good and determined one. but it Had to
be. Sunference didn't quit. He struggled

Bud Lerner was running strong and
gaining ground with every bound. But
GosLawk's challenge was too much for
them and under singing blows from
Morris's whip he forged ahead to score
a noted victory.
Bud Lerner's race was exceptionally
good He broke slowly. was in tight
quarters in the flight to the elbow and
finished strong. Sunference showed the
most speed but lack of stamina. The
other ten were beaten off.

stretch. Then Fator gave him his head
and the race was as good as over in a
few strides. He bounded to the front
and galloped the remainder of the way

who came with belated rush in the
stretch and beat Polly Ann three parts
of length for third place.
