NEW YORK, June 7. tUP)-Until
very late Saturday afternoon the
animal known as the horse held q
very low position in my book of
likes"
He was way down on the list, in
a spot somewhere between the car
rier pigeon and the yak. because
had never considered him pretty
or smart, and he was always coSo-
ing me money.
But no more Today the horse was
smack on top, boosted there by that
four-footed little cuSS, War Admir-
al. In two minutes and % and 3-5
seconds on Saturday he showed me
more class, more gamenesS, than
have seen in 10 years of watching
sports. That was the time it took him
to cover the mile and a half jour-
ney of the $50 900 Belmont Stakes,
and those of us who saw him do it,
never will forget it.
Everything was against his VIM
ming. To start with, he already had
won the Derby and the Preakness,
and the books will show you that
when a horse takes those two, he
usually comes up to the Belmont
worn to a frazzle and ready for a
licking. The Admiral was the fourth
horse to do it, though many. have
tried
In the grab-bag draw for post
positions the stream-lined little
son of Man O'War drew the slot on
the far outSide-the worst in the
bunch. He had broken from the rail
in the Derby and the Preakness
and shown a decided liking for in
side going. The outside wall wa:
new to him.
In addition. he was the target
for every other horse and jockey
in the race. They knew he was the
one to lick, and they had laid their
plans accordingly. Furthermore, he
got bad break at the start. His
chunky little body was no moro
than half way in the gate when
the off" bell buzzed and the field
broke loose.
The Admiral is a hot article when
he gets the signal to move He
shoots it all in a drive from the
gate 1t was in this desperate, mad
lunge from the line that he suf-
fered an injury that would have
stopped horse of less courage. His
right hind leg stabbed his right
front leg, slicing the shell Of the
hoof.
But he never faltered. He was
drying for the front of the pack
and nothing could stop him. With
blood streaming from the injury
he tore on, and when the field
pounded into the first turn there
was the little fellow, the Riddle
silks flashing in the sun, a-wingin
out front by length.
