this afternoon. Ridden by Jockey
Morris. the Peter Pan gelding was
rushed into command before half of
and from then on dominated the
running at all times. Exodus vic
tory was the third mount Morris
piloted home a winner during the
day.
The event. which was fashioned
for 3-year-olds and upward at
distance of six furlongs. attracted
a representative band from the
handicap division. Eight had been
nominated and when post time ar

Starter Miller dispatched the field
in perfect alignment with Well
