starts and earnings of $84,503. Runner- up in the Sheppard Final at
Yonkers, his prior win came in a division of the Geers at Tioga Downs.

the second race, 1-2 favorite Evil Fight [Western Ideal] repelled challengers
at the half and in the stretch to win a $7,000 Green Acres third leg for
three-year-old pacing fillies in 1:56.4.
