trying to go either in or out of the leader He decided on the former course and as the choice didnt come in got room on the rail Slipping through he quickly took command and at the eighth pole was a length in front of the favorite favoritePlion Plion in the meantime had come around horses on the extreme outside and was clos ¬ ing under Culmones lefthanded and loop ¬ ing style of whipping But he was not able to make up enough territory on the leaders and had to be content with third money while Talent Show went on to defeat Ive Got Rhythm RhythmHoward Howard Grant who rode Ive Got Rhythm said My horse is still a little green He tried to change stride and at ¬ tempted to go out a few times If he hadnt have been green the winner would not have been able to go through on the rail and I feel sure that he would have outgamed I him himCulmone Culmone who handled Plion remarked Pliori didnt break too well and I think the dirt bothered him a little When he got to the outside he was able to run his best but he had toto much to make up upTalent Talent Show earned 118 pounds under the conditions of the stake the same as Ive Got Rhythm while Plion had 124 124The The Betzy Ross Trial which

was there had her under a tight hold Going into the far turn Erb loosed a bit of his rein and Idun went to the front quickly Midway of the run Erb looked over his right shoulder saw nothing in any form of a menace de ¬ velop and made the final bend bendAs As he came into the stretch Erb took another look this time over his left shoul ¬ der since his ostensible opposition was still on the curve then making one brisk shake of his wiiip alongside of Iduns head let her roll to the finish on her own ownIdun Idun paid 220 but actually was seven cents to the dollar in the betting calcula ¬ tions
