It was on the far turn that
Willie Shoemaker shot Bed
Io'Roses from fourth to second
place, and at the head of the
stretch he let her go. She quickly
passed her stablemate and was q
length in front as they crossed
the wire. Next Move was length

considering the soft track. The

1885.
Bet Down to As, the Vanderbilt
entry returned $3.50. $500 and
$3.50. Toto paid $3.50.
1t was the second time this week
that Vanderbilt has made news
here. Last Monday. he set of

for failing to punish bad riding
severely enough. For his COM
Iments, Santa Anita officials
virtually invited him to take his

today provided an answer.
First Start OF Year.
This was the first start for Bed

said she runs her best races when
fresh. Her last start was November
10 at Jamaica, when she was beat
Ien iength una three quarters by
Oil Capitol. She was in the money
in islltOf ten raceS last year and
won $86,375.
Shoemaker was all smiles s.o ne
rode her into the winners circle.
This is one of the greatest
mares that ever drew a breath" he
said. "She certainly handles beau
|tifully. She just went about her
business today like there was moth
ing to it. When we moved from the
middle Of the pack and went
|up behind Special Touch. she just
went on to win as easy as you
please"
Atkinson said he believed his
lightly-rigged Toto could have
caught the winner in another six
