choice of public mid turfmen never got into the Suburban race His battle with Mad Hatter in the Long Beach Handicap a hard nnc must have dulled him for though hard driven by Johnson to keep up with his competitors the middleaged warrior could not get into the contest at all and was a poor fifth beaten by nine lengths The Suburban race fourth on the program had eight in its field of the named ones Friday La Rablee declining the issue issueThe The course was lightning fast A sharp west wind blew across the track It was against ex ¬ cessively fast time Audacious chances were dis ¬ counted on
