Futurity and when the start came. it
was Teddy's Comet, with Glen Smith

the rail, went right after the Texas
colt and Jockey Alfred Robertson soon
had him in front by a short head.

lengths before the field, with C-Note
third and Bull Lea fourth.
Around the turn Teddy's Comet. on
the outside, pulled up on even terms
with the rail-running Tiger, then
drew out under pressure to the
shortest Of margins. As they turned
for home, Teddy's Comet was in front
BY head and both riders went to
work for the stretch drive.
They raced stride for stride down
the stretch, with no apparent mar
gin for either colt AS they passed
the stands Tiger took a Uhisker lead,
but in the final strides Teddys Comet
managed to land on even terms.
