The strong backing Riven Indian Chant, however, caused him to he made the favorite. He ran well for about a half mile and then fell hack and, at the end, was next to last. On the other hand. Marse Henry dashed to the front right after the start and at once raced into a bljj lead and, while he seemed inclined to quit in the stretch, he had enough left to maintain Iiis advantage and win the purse by two lengths, with Brooks taking second-place money from Sandhill by a length. ntimatum, from the stable of Samuel Ross, which had not raced since the Laurel meeting, was returned the winner of the Itenning lurse, for which he was the favorite.
