time to beat Grand Opera on the post b

Amur, and the latter. though he ran a
plucky uphill race, could not get inside
the money. Arden made the pace for
half a mile, where Lord Badge took
up the running, and came in an easy
winner by three lengths in 1:41A. Ar
den beat Past for the place by three
parts of a length. Amur was half
