It was Foster's fourth title defense and his 35th knockout in 45 pro fights.

His second-round 64 matched the course record. Steve Eichstaedt, a 23-year-old Vietnam veteran who rejoined the tour this year, finished second with a final-round 68, which included an eagle 2 on the second hole.

Nardin's Gayblade moved into second, pacesetter Armbro Jet was a head farther back in third and Dayan was last. Columbia George ($2.20), owned by Dr. and Mrs. George Smith and driven by Roland Beaulieu, paced to a 7�-length win in the $15,300 Springwood, final Grand Circuit feature at Saratoga Raceway.
