1 EPLNARD IN FAST WORKOUT SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y., Aug. 16. Epinard set the tongues of the work watchers to wagging today when he ran a half mile in :49, and five furlongs, pulling up in 1:03 over the Oklahoma track. This course is deep in sand and a half mile in fifty seconds is considered good over it. The other day Wilderness ran three furlongs in better than thirty-six seconds and the trainers were a unit in predicting that he would win his race the next day. Wilderness won and the ease with which Epinard worked today confirms the opinion expressed by those that have watched him race that he has no peers.
