Jamin is noted for his steadiness well as his
speed. A year ago, in the Prix de France, another
horse broke stride, banged into Jamin's sulky and
spilled driver Jean Riaud onto the track. Jamin
never faltered. Riaud jumped up, raced across
corner of the in6eld and jumped back into the
sulky, just in time for Jamin's winning drive.
''Magnifgue" headlined the French press.
Who'll win the big race? Of all the contestants,
Jamin owns the fastest time at a mile and half
(3:O83/5). But the race this year has been short
ened to mile and quarter. Also, this spring
Jamin lost races both to Tornese and Hairos.
