He moved to the lead between i j i calls in the stretch only to have Cavalier : t Trim slip through along the inside in the ! final sixteenth of a mile and beat him a t j head. |t The consistent son of Quick Devil won ; j I five of 16 starts during last years racing ; season. The Turner colorbearer nearly t * raced himself out of competition on the B half-mile tracks last year when he won i 1 three consecutive features in impressive : i fashion. j Fast Song will head the remainder of f i the eight-horse field including Comic Lad, 1 Subjugate, Gray Polly, Flo, Freda May, and i Whatcetera. Fast Song was bumped I i soundly leaving the starting gate in her r last start when she finished second to a i Chicatant. Her effort in this start was im- - ! pressive because of her misfortune. The W. . I F. Riggs mare will be meeting tougher r I company Wednesday, but with better r I racing luck she could be given a chance to I be in the first flight at the wire. The race lost some of its lustre when i Hay Whirley, Judy Tide, Two Step, and i Owl Martin drew on the "also eligible" list. ;. Hay Whirley, and Two Step have both i been close up in their last efforts and d would certainly be given a great deal of f consideration should they draw into the e race.
