spare over Louis Tufanos Market Wise who had been third to him in the Derby Fred Byers Robert Morris was third another two and a half lengths back as the pacemaking Greville who completed the field was a dozen lengths farther away awayGeorge George Carroll who trains Market Wise lodged the objection claiming that Whirl away took his charge wide entering the stretch However the patrol judge reported that the Wright colt was clear at the time Thats the way it appeared from the stands Market Wise started outside Whirlaway who bore out a few strides and James pulled back inside him for the challenge It was nothing to alter the result and as the objec ¬ tion was announced over the loudspeaker Jones only grinned as he stood at the colts head in the winners circle circleThe The race was like others run by Whirl away in that he was left in the early stages and buzzed to the front outside the three others in the middle of the turn But he did not gallop away from them in the stretch where he was not at any time asked for his best lick lickRUNS RUNS TEN FURLONGS IN 203 203It It was not a sensationally fast race the mile and a quarter being run in 203 though that is only twofifths

flashed in the Dwyer and then cheered themselves hoarse when the officials placed their stamp of approval on Whirlaways latest accomplish ¬ ment The attendance however was not quite so large as the

foul claimed though his mount hit Whirlaways quarters when the latter came out In the threesixteenths of a mile after the incident Market Wise tried gamely but could not even make Arcaro reach for his stick stickLittle Little time was lost at the starting point up at the top of the home lane in the Dwyer and when the break came they went away together Stout sent Greville the light weight under 116 pounds to the front while Robertson ranged Robert Morris alongside in the run to the first turn Market Wise was about a length and onehalf back of the first two and a like distance in front of the topheavy choice choiceGoing Going down the far side Whirlaway began to gather momentum and nearing the end of that lane passed Market Wise Robertson on Robert Morris saw him coming and moved to Greville with him so that the three were heads apart midway of the turn with Whirlaway on the outside Greville was the first to crack and then entering the stretch Whirlaway moved slowly to the front
