Bunting started in six races last year, won four of them and finished second in the other two, accounting for 2,300. Rebuke won three out of seven struts, including the valuable Coffroth Handicap. His total winnings amounted to 1,S00. Little Chief raced often and well, finishing unplaced only three times in nineteen starts and earning 7,360. Cherry Tree was another four-year-old that was campaigned extensively and made a good showing last year.
