Roy nicked the ball with his

the $10,000 Sierra Madre Purse

In the mile and one-eighth test
as Civic Pride was setting a
strong pace at the head of the
field, Nite Shift needed only a
little encouragement from joc-
key Willie Shoemaker to rapidly
close the gap and then take the
lead in the final furlong.
Nite Shift, fourth choice, was
clocked in 1:47 3-5 and paid
$11.00, 5.00 and 3.30.
Prince Lawker was second

third.
