SHOTS fared better than the favor, ites today, three of the former win- ning against two first choices. The fields were of fair size and the rac- ing really excellent. A crowd of i perhaps 1,500 saw the fiveXcontests, and while the bookmakers got most of the bettors' money, the racing was so meritorious and the starting i so good that there was no chaoce for a legitimate growl.
