Carries 118 Pounds Our Hines, a good class winner at Keene-land and third in his prior Downs engagement, picked up his 118 pounds burden and stepped the three-quarters mile of the Shelbyville over the fast but dull footing in a creditable 1:12%. The Hernadez colt was a luke warm favorite in the totalisator at 33 to 10. Phar Wiser, from the William F. Lucas barn, set the pace through the initial four furlongs while Stone of Scone raced in nearest attendance and Royal Bred occupied third position.

After a sharply-waged duel, the Crescent City-owned colt npped Stone of Scone while Jeffrey J. S. came strongly enough *to catch the faltering Sweet Josie for the show award. Phar Wiser, spent after his display of early foot, baded badly during the drive and wound up last. In one of the best finishes of the matinee, Thomas B. Cromwells Suduese, handled by Dave Erb, beat eight other three-year-old platers in the one mile and one-sixteenth seventh race. The Cromwell filly, the get of Super Duper and Cingalese, paid 5.60 to garner her second purse of the Downs spring meet.

Johns Hope drifted out while tiring during the drive and caused a jam that impeded Laheim and Super Bilt.
