Jack Witt Wins as Owner Faces Gate Ban
Jack Witt owned by C. B. Daniels won the seven furlong dash in 1 25 25 in a strong field, prompting judges to bar further entries from Daniels for the meeting. Silver Stocking then captured the five furlongs in 1 08 35, equaling the world record for the distance, with Anna May second and Iroquois third. Long shots dominated the program as six favorites lost, and bookmakers quit winners.
