Love Lock was third another neck removed and three parts of a length before Golden Tempest. Kensington Ted ridden by Bill Hartack, was fifth and Best Dream last. A good crowd of 7,010 turned out on another cool afternoon to witness the nine-race program which saw four favorites all ridden by Hartack score through the seventh race. Red Flush paid 2.80, completing the six furlongs in 1:11. Apprentice Louis Syfrig rode an excellent race aboard the winner. Wreath O Roses was first out of the gate when the field was sent on its way. Golden Tempest was second, Best Dream third, and Red Flush fourth. Moving up the back-stretch Wreath O Roses continued to lead and was in front by a head over Golden Tempest who, in turn, was a length and one-half before Love Lock. Rider Doesnt Carry Whip Racing around the far turn Wreath O Roses, who rims without a whip, increased her margin to a half length while saving ground. Golden Tempest still clung to second position while Love Lock was third and Red Flush had now moved along into fourth position. .t At the furlong marker, Wreath O Roses was in front by a length, Golden Tempest second with Love Lock third with the ultimate winner fourth just beginning to make his bid while in the middle of the track. In the final 70 yards Golden Tempest tired, Red Flush shot into second position, and, responding gamely to pressure, overtook the favorite a few strides from the wire. William Hartack won his fourth race of the afternoon when Harvey W. Shaffers Effortless came from far back to capture the sixth race by a neck over Count Pur who appeared to be "home free" 70 yards out. Admirals Wave was third, two lengths farther back. Effortless paid .40 as the favorite and ran the six furlongs in 1:11. Equidoe broke best in the sixth race and after the first quarter was in front by a head over Admirals Wave, who in turn was two lengths better than Vets Boy. The ultimate winner was seventh at that time, six lengths off the pace. Admirals Wave Takes Over After the first half mile, Effortless dropped another half length out of it while still in seventh position. Admirals Wave had moved up and was now in front going to the turn by a half length. Admirals Wave drew clear by a length and one-half on the stretch turn. Count Pur was second with the tiring Equidoe now third. Effortless was beginning to move up fast while on the outside and was four lengths back while in fifth spot. Count Pur moved around Admirals Wave midway through the stretch and appeared to have victory assured, but Effortless moved along with a terrific burst of speed and with every stride was closing the gap. A few yards from the wire, Effortless caught Count Pur and then at the end was beginning to draw clear. Hartack met with misfortune in the fifth race when his mount, Chief Genoa, broke down midway around the final bend.
