Colless) which took a position to the outside of that horse. TRIPITZ (B. Stewart), which was following, also had to be checked off the heels of KEELROW.

SAN RICO and ISURAVA raced wide throughout.

Near the 500m UNCONQUERABLE, which was racing ungenerously, shifted out and made contact with PEPPERWOOD (S. Scriven). UNCONQUERABLE then shifted back in of its own accord tightening MIKAHNA, which had improved to that horse’s inside.
