Whirlaway broke last in the $500

Kentucky colt.

by only four lengths.

Whirlaway came charging down
the stretch, much as he raced last
year while winning more money

country, and nipped Herbert M

The Calumet colt. carrying 1T
pounds against 1O8 for each of the

choice and ran the distance in

he frequently gave many lengths out

the colt locked much better.
