Boyee Pool!?. Spur. Becount and Jack Stuart, going to the post. The latter was the extreme outsider in the oral quotations, although he was the medium of some support, and after closely following Boyee Pools, made a wide turn at the head of the stretch, but responding to punishment he challenged the latter in the final eighth and came gamely to win by the margin of a nose. J. E. Wideners Weary was another surprise when she won the first race in a fairly good field of two-year-olds.
