May 21. — Donald Pinkstaff rode his second winner of the meeting here in the first race of the afternoon when he drove Golden Reaper to a hard-earned nose decision over Proud Foot in a thrilling contest. Golden Reaper was under constant pressure every step of the six furlongs and Pinkstaff never relaxed for a moment on the gelding. The winner ran the six panels in 1:14 over the first fast track in a few days and paid 6.40. Victory Play, 13 years of age, won the second event of the afternoon, running the same distance in 1:12%, while winning by three lengths, to pay 1.60.
