The table which follows gives a list
of other creditable 2-year-olds in 1894,
embracing the winners of $4,000 or over,
none of which, however, reached the $4,000
line. These 81 performers combined won
207 races and 1896, 140, which, added to
the races and money taken into camp by
the $4,000 winners, shows that 113 2-year-
Olds on the American turf in 1894 won a
total of $40 races and $S42,221. To these
big figures add the lesser winners, which
won from $500 or $500 up to $1,000 or
over, which, owing to lack of space, are
left out in this compilation, and the Turf
Guide will show that the 2-year-olds of
America ran for fully 81, DOC, 900 in 1894
