 One Horse Race?
 The name "Pasch" was on the lips of everyone. He was the fayor- lte at odds of 11-4 and from the way he was being touted you would not think there were p other three year olds snorting in their stalls ready to oppose him.
 Pasch has run only twice in his life-and won both times. Those two starts came this year when he was a three year old. He did not run as juvenile but in his two races he showed so much speed and endurance at mile that he im- mediately became favorite.
 Included in the crowd today were their majesties. King George and Queen Elizabeth. who occupied the royal box. They had an entrant. too, License, 100J1 shot which was not given much chance of showing the way home in this race which is worth approximately $50.000 to tho winner.
 There were two American-owned horses in the field-William Wood- wards Valerian III, 45-1, and J. E. Widener,s Unbreakable, SOL. Neither was given 8 chance
