There is absolutely no doubt in
the minds of those that were fortu-
nate enough to witness the race this
afternoon that they had the pleasure
OF seeing two of the greatest 2
year -olds race that this country has
ever produced.
The time Of the race-l :l2-was with
in 2-5 of a second of the track rec
ord The worlds record of :O9 3-5
for a similar distance is held by Iron
Mask. who shouldered lis pounds at
the Juarez. Mexico, course in 1914,
while the American record OF 40 -.
held by Raymond Belmont's Jyntee.
who covered this distance in the
above named time at Saratoga this
summer.
The infield was thronged with horse
men. trainers and jockeys. and when
Eternal dashed by the wire a win
ner. blankets. hats and coats were
flung into the air.
Eternal as he was led back to his
! stable was the picture of the victor
Of a great struggle. while poor Billy
Kelly was led away with few cheer
ing him. and little Jockey Sande
plainly showed that his heart was
broken over the defeat of his mount
Sande had placed his life and soul
in this race and. while he was beaten.
he rode a sterling race and credit
must be given him.
After the throng had settled down
and the sixth race was called for
little enthusiasm was manifested in
the remaining two events. On the
trains returning to the city nothing
else could be heard but the dis
cussion as to the relative value OF
Billy Kelly and Eternal. Many were
not satisfied that Eternal is the su-
perior of Billy Kelly, but it must
be said that Eternal is about the
best 2-year-old ever foaled in this
country
In all probability these steering
2-year- olds will meet. again at
! Pimlico. where they are eligible for
a number of stakes. and IL will then
be decided once for all which is the
better horse.
