Setbacks in earlier races.
Hartack told Calumet Trainer
Jimmy Jones in the winners
circle after the race that Princess
lTuria is a terrific mud runner. f"
and that he had looked fol-
more speed from others in the
mile-and-sixteenth race.

a strong hold. Princess Turia
moved at Hartack's will at the
half-mile pole on the inside. She

There was little doubt of the out
