was no show pool on the race.
BY his fourth straight victory.
Whirlaway picked up purse of
S39,S70 and increased his life
time earnings to S236,211.
One of the opinions in the press
box when Arcaro shot Whirlaway
from third place into the lead
with dramatic suddenness at the
half mile pole was that Arcaro
was afraid the horses in front Of
him might drop dead and Whirl-
away would fall over them. The
pace was that slow. the front
