Next Year

Start good. Won driving; second and third the same. DETERMINE, roughed immediately after the start in the jam caused by HASTY ROAD and TIMELY TIP, recovered under good handling and raced within striking distance of the leader to the stretch, responded to brisk urging during the drive and, taking command, won going away. HASTY ROAD began fast, bore to the outside in the run to the first turn, retained a clear lead until reaching the stretch, then was unable to withstand the winner. HASSEYAMPA gradually worked way forward while racing in the middle of the track, closed strongly under punishment but was unable to reach the top pair. GOYAMO saved ground while working way forward to the stretch, was sent between horses for the drive, blocked near the furlong pole, was unable to get to leaders when finally clear. ADMIRAL PORTER had no mishaps. CORRELATION, bumped immediately after break, was far back to last half mile, then finished strongly. FISHERMAN weakened after a mile. ALLIED tired. GOV. BROWNING had no excuse. TIMELY TIP bore out at start, causing a jam, then raced well to the stretch before tiring. SUPER DEVIL was through early. RED HANNIGAN showed nothing. SEA O ERIN had brief speed. MEL LEAVITT could not keep up. Scratched - Close Out.
