rangy sou of Salvation and Saintolat is feeling well it takes a mighty good race horse to beat him himIt It is a pity that in the registry of names he was tangled up through lack of knowledge and a murkily written slip The old gelding was to have been named after the best of motor cars and wasnt The same misfortune over nomenclature happened to Piute which ran gloomily to old age as Ponte the nohle Trojans namesake Troilus by the cross of an 1 lives and moves as Troitus and The Col ¬ leen Bawn defaces entry cards and jars intelligence as The Cullen Bon The clerics of record are sad

never cut a sharp figure Picnic Brilliant Hay and Quesada were the leaders at the eighth post with The Doctor fourth and coming in a clear path Picnic at the rails seemed to be the winner thirty yards out where he had beaten Bril ¬ liant Ray Quesada also was done there Keogh Illought The Doctor up fast racing with Runnyoi going as fast as he the pair got up to both beat Picnic in the last half
