6 Races on
Circuit Card
atStateF FAIR
Big Money Events Run OH
on Closing Program
of Meet.

six races at the State Playground
track today were to ring down the
curtain on the Grand Circuit meet
ing which has been in progress here
this week. In addition to the four
scheduled races, the two big
money" events postponed from
Wednesday also were to be run OH.
The two big events on todays
card were the $14,885 Frank P. Fox
pacing stake for 2-year-olds and
the $4,000 Silver Flash, 2:10 pacing
stake. The other races were the
2:l8 trot, 2:06 pace stake, The
Senator Farm, 2:12 pace stake,
Stegemeier Cafeteria, and the s.
vear-old Marott Shoe Shop trotting
stake. All were for $1,000 purses
with the exception of the Siege
meier race, which was for $4,000.
Two Races Held Over
The Fox stake and Silver Flash
race we're to have been run Thurs
day. but a slow track coupled with a
heavy program caused State FAR
officials to hold the races over.
An exceptionally large crowd
damned the grand stands Thursday
to witness the races. Many thrills
were provided and in several in
stances the horses finished neck and
neck with speculation running rife
until the official announcement.
Close Finish
One such event was the third
event Thursday, the 2:12 trot for
$1,000. Margaret Axtien, driven by
Harris, and Sylbil Volo, driven by
Parshall, came down the stretch to-
gether, Harris barely nosing home a
victory.
Spencer driven by Mcdonald III
the 2-year-old trot and Nina Dill
lon driven by LOOMS in the 2:05
trot had rather easy going in their
respective races. Both breezed home
winners In both heats.
