manding lead and from then on romped along in front with a smooth stride He was never seriously threatened until the final stages where Black Miss staged a rush which brought her to within a length and onehalf of the winner It was by that mar ¬ gin that Manners Man led Black Miss over the line of finish Marynell was another length back backIt It is apparent that the Fernandez brothers are the only riders that can get the required result with Marynell for when a rider change is made she goes down to defeat Mack Garners ride on the mare was not up to his usual exhibition and his lack of energy in the closing strides might have beaten his mount for her part of the purse if the race had been at a longer distance Lillian Uhl and Grand Rock which raced among the leaders for three
