The race won by Nealon was spec
tacular. Ironsides was the first to leave
the barrier, and within the first six fur
longs had opened up a gap of three
lengths in front OF Running Water and
Salvidere. They never shifted positions
until they entered the last mile. Nealon
moved up to Ironsides. and Salvidere
passed Running Water and went after
the leaders.

this order. Knapp started to urge Nea-
Ion, and slowly but surely cut down the
lead of Ironsides, in the final furlong

was 1852 fiat, which reduces the track
record for that distance ) 2-5 seconds.
