Pony McAtee in the saddle he never
left the result in doubt, and at the
end of the six furlong journey he was
sprawling along a length and half
in front of Muskallonge, which beat
Elected II. by five lengths. Because
he was sprawling at the finish it didn't
mean that he was tired. He sprawls
along every time he Is out of gallop.
But he can sprawl along at terrific
pace, as was shown yesterday when
he covered the distance in I'LL 2-5.
