Cee Tee and Tick On made trouble at the barrier. Cee Tee was placed outside and when the barrier finally sprang after 15½ min., Tick On was pocketed behind the field. It took Fator on Brother Joe about a half-mile to find that he had picked the wrong horse. Brother Joe pulled up lame and Fator could see Burgoo King, running well with the leaders, in third place, behind...
