Both were favorites in their races. After yesterdays handsome pay-off, there was a heavy play in this machine today. The winning combination paid 1.50 a ticket. Bubbling Outs victory came in the afternoons feature race. This was a dash of one mile out of the chute, for three-year-olds. Bubbling Out, a good racer as a two-year-old for the Mount Royal Stable last year, has been running disappointing races since first appearance at Woodbine this spring. In todays race he showed something like his old time form. He was ridden by F. Mann and in the early stages had work cut out setting the pace and racing Translucent into submission. The latter furnished keen contention for six furlongs, but making the turn into the stretch tired and Bubbling Out drew away into lead of two lengths. He retained this advantage to the finish. Nose Gay, badly outrun in the early stages, gained steadily after going half a mile and at the finish she was gaining with a rush in the middle the track. In the final furlong she easily disposed of Translucent, which she beat by two lengths and a half for second place. A good crowd turned out to witness the sport this afternoon. Track conditions were heavy, but as the afternoon progressed the footing kept drying out and it should be in good condition by tomorrow. Norwalk, an Irish-bred son of Beresford, which races for the New Jersey sportsman P. White, galloped home to an easy victory in the opener when he beat Prowess by a couple of lengths. The winner was ridden by E. Fator. Slow to begin, Norwalk moved up with a good burst of speed rounding the turn out of the back stretch, easily disposed of Prowess rounding the far turn and opened up a lead of five lengths when straightened out in the home stretch. All through the last sixteenth Fator kept looking back and at the finish Norwalk was well in hand. Boston Rose finished third, beaten off by five lengths. She was staggering at the end to last long enough to save third money by a neck from Budge. E. Fator rode a patient race on Saratoga Maje in the second race, and the tactics he pursued were probably responsible for the aged son of Old Koenig winning. When the barrier was released Saratoga Maje was off in front, but Fator took a steady hold on him and permitted Pledge to go to the fiont. On the far turn Crimsal made a move and the pair raced head and head like team. Fator was still sitting still. He made no move until they turned for home, and when called on Saratoga Maje responded with a game effort. In the stretch he wore Crimsal down and in the last six- teenth passed him to win going away at the end by half a length. Crimsal was a tired horse at the end and swerved over to the inside rail. Pass in Review was never a factor. He began slow- ly and followed with the rear division all the way. Incidentally, this was Fators sec- ond winning mount, he having ridden Nor- walk, winner of the opening race. Fair Fortune was a handy winner of the third race, for which he was a well backed favorite. In the early stages Fair Fortune followed the pacemakers and McGinnis waited until well around the far turn before making his effort. When he did make his move he moved up on the outside and, making the turn into the stretch, was carried wide. Going to the furlong post Fair Fortune moved up with a rush and, easily disposing of Fatal Gift, drew away into an easy lead. At the end the winner tired a bit and McGinnis was forced to go a drive to stall off Pottery. The latter came from behind and at the end was going very fast. Goeland and Fatal Gift both tired badly. A stirring finish came with the running of the fourth race when Vimont came from be-5 hind in the stretch to get up in the final strides to win by a head from Elizabeth. Beginning slowly, Vimont followed the others for half a mile and when Shaw made his effort he moved up on the inside and closed an immense gap in the final drive. Elizabeth raced closer up than usual in the early stages and at the head of the stretch went to the front and, passing Agnes Sorel, drew away into a lead of two lengths. When put to a drive she tired and at the end was swerving across to the inside rail. Agnes Sorel finished third, beaten four lengths for second place. . . A ■
