Ridden by Porter Roberts, who guided him to his Col. Alger Memorial Handicap victory and to his second to Star Boarder in the Motor City Handicap, Bernard F. raced head and head with Prince Argo to the final furlong, where he took command. Allegro, closing fast on the outside, moved to the winner with a rush, but tired in the final strides and Bernard F. won drawing away. BEGINS SLOWLY.
