Kurawaka ami Arclight each earned more money tliau Gleuulhn in the Juvenile Handicap. The former ran a great race, but liail no clianee wilb the Lochiel colt at llic finish. Arclighl could only get fifth. In tlie Westniere Hurdles, Catherine Cordon, lihama, and Kohnnui comprised the I'avurite division. Iml all failed to iinisli among the placegetters.
