He was purchased by Joe Ull-
man of st. Louis, Mo-, bookmaker,
as yearling for 1920. His career
as O. 2-year-old was most brilliant. Start
ing twelve times, he was first nine times,
second once and unplaced twice. He
met and defeated all the best youngsters

on the Ivy City track, August Belmont
bought him for $4,000.
