TWO-YEAR-OLDS’ ESCAPADE i There was not a great deal of ini teresting work seen at the Avondale j track this morning, bat there was a stir when a couple of two-year-olds ridden by inexperienced boys were seen to gallop on the course proper alongside the rails. The course proper, with the flags ! well out, and tho plough track, were | available for galloping. 4 It was the two-year-olds Biddy’s Boy and Wild Time that furnished the tit-bit of the morning.
