The feature of Saturday's Racing 'was the fact that the two biggest outsiders of the day came in to win in the races selected for the "Daily Doubles" with the result that no single, punter managed to back both winners. Those who succeeded in pick- ing only the first "ler," however, were paid $335 each, as" against. a pari-mutuel dividend of $177.
Mr. Norman Deitz again had a very successful day, riding four winners, a second and a third in eight outings: Mr. Gilbert Harriman had a couple of wins bringing home The Bodega in the second race and Copper Idol in the fifth, in which a num ber of the best, subs of the past three seasons faced the starter. Mr. P. F. Botelho won with West Parade in the seventh race accounting for a field of seventeen starters. paid over $100 to his supporters.
