heats. The pacers paced nine heats at an average 

 rate of 2:08 while for twenty-one heats trotted 

 averaged 2:10%. In the three-year-old trot Helter 

 Skelter forced Doane out in 2:09. Jeritza trotted 

 in 2:06V2> it being her third win in the circuit. 



The Ohio gelding Al Bingen secured a head line 

 in the morning papers by defeating Millie W. and 

 Wayne Hal in the 2:15 pace. This pair had a num- 

 ber of stubborn contests since the horses started 

 at Greenfield, Mass. in June. While Wayne Hal oc- 

 casionally won a heat Millie W. always landed the 

 event. It was also appropriate that Al Bingen should 

 win at Middletown as his sire Joe Dodge was bred 

 by J. L. Dodge, when he maintained a stock farm 

 near that town before he transferred his breeding 

 operations to Hollyrood Farm at Lexington, Ky. 



On the trip through the Orange County Circuit, 

 Hodson won eight races. Four of them with Bert 

 Abbe, three with Millie W. and one with Trumpet. 

 Six races were won by Rodney. He scored three 

 times with Jeritza, twice with Rozeta, and once with 

 Myra Harvester. 



Becker made a sweep with Doane. He won with 

 this three-year-old gelding at Endicott in 2:07%, 

 at Monroe in 2:10, at Goshen in 2:08i/2> and at Mid- 

 dletown in 2:09. 



Fred Hyde won at Endicott with Bee Worthy, at 

 Monroe with Miss Eclipse, and at Goshen with 

 Denesia, a sister to Rochelle Maid and Sakura. She 

 was by Atlantic Express, the sire of Jerifza, Rozeta 

 and Miss EcHpse, all winners in this circuit in 1927.
