Even the most casual observer will be
struck by the merit of this tremendous
trio of races, all paced within the space
of fifteen days. They cannot be dupli-
Gated in the turf's history, and speak
in the most decisive and unmistakable
fashion, not only of the victor's amazing
turn of speed but also of his still more
wonderful stamina, gameness, and SUI
perlatve racing quality.
