unbeaten one The pair raced together to the quarter post where Workman touched Equipoise with his whip The latter increased his speed but as he did he swerved to the inside bumping Vander Pool and then as he passed the Allen colt he apparently crossed over on him himThe The Whitney colt quickly forged ahead of Vander Pool in the run home and at the sixteenth post he was so well in front that
