David B., Wilson's gray gelding, driven by Wickert, was the stonewall Eden butted up against when he picked his Mittie Bedworth to capture the big end of the $230.00 purse in the chief event of the afternoon the 2.12 pace. Together with Princess Ingomar, driven by Smith, all three were off well, Mittio Bedworth hugging the pole position. Wickert forced the issue right at the start and in the melee Mittie broke and the gray took the lead and the heat without further competition.
