The fractionate were: 241, 10?. 40, 1:02-, l:irii, 1:291. 1:44, 1:57. The colt did it easily and good judges considered the work as good as 2:08 under ordinary conditions. Colston had up about as much weight as he will carry in Saturdays race, 110 pounds. Colston pulled up in fresh condition and cooled out nicely.
