Jockey Goose, who had the mount on High Private, landed two other wiuners during the afternoon in John Gund and Hodge, in the two-year-old dashes that began the racing.

Her victory was in the main due to the vast amount of ground that she saved all tlie way. Cash on Delivery -made it five straight when he took the third race from some fast sprinters. He had to bc"niuch" the"best to score, for he suffered extensively from interference and was carried to the outer rail on the stretch turn.
