"a [10WN
Hoss RACE

A five horse race is a
tough race as any horseman
will tell you. 1t is especially
tough when two horses stand
out so much as to make it a
two horse race. Such a race
was seen last Thursday when
True Spencer and DOC" Nc
Millen raced against slim"
Shilling and his record break
ing speedster, Chief Long. We
think Doc drove a fine race
even though True Spencer
broke at a little over a half
mile. Chief Long has plenty
of speed at the start. There
are few horses who can beat
him away from the gate.
From where we stood True
Spencer and Chief Long are
just about an even match with
Chief Long getting the edge
for good manners and a
speedy getaway. Nevertheless,
Doc did the only thing he
could do in order to win the
race force Chief Long
all the way and try to tire
him or beat him in the
stretch. Unfortunately, True
Spencer broke on the third
turn and was overhauled but
recovered and came in second
anyway.
Keep in mind that Doc
knew he could get a second
but that he wanted to win if
possible. The only possible
way he could win was to race
True Spencer in the exact
manner that he did. After
all, it was pretty obvious that
if he could get True Spencer
on top, Chief Long couldn't
overtake him. So there you
have it, a swell horse race
and a new track record. With
all due credit to Slim Shill-
ing and great horse we still
thing that Doc McMillen and
game little colt, True
Spencer, helped to break that
record by forcing all the way
the first half.
We like that kind of race
and two old heads like Doc
and Slim driving a couple of
fine hosses really make it a
thriller.
1t isn't often that you are
privileged to see three year
olds break track records and
any horse that can run the
mile in less than 2:05 is a
whale of a good horse.
