when Electioneer beat her in the last
twenty-five yards. made the entry appear
invincible. Even though the pair closed
at the prohibitive odds Of to 10 there were
many spectators who fought with one an
other for chance to get some supposed
sure money at this price. Pope Joan was
never a contender and ran as II sore.
