price was 5 to 1 as he had a record of not liking the mud Morte Mote Fonse Fosse at 6 to 1 looked tempting for sometimes horse run badly because of bad riders and surely Ezells Bezels horse is capable of a better performance than he has shown in his last races Harry Gaines was backed by the few on account of his sire whose get are said to Jive on mud while Ed Corrigans Corrigan Sardonic the long shot was played by the stable followers on the supposi suppose ¬ tion ion that the green and white sash was over ¬ due It was no raca Racal baing baaing simply a walkover for Found she leading all the
