An early start at the Ohio meetings rushed Fred 

 Edman off in front, his lead being maintained until 

 the stables reached Columbus in September. Ed- 

 man pulled up at Lexington with thirty-five winning 

 mounts, his last victory being in the Lexington 

 Stake with Favonian. During the season Edman won 

 four races with this colt, one of them being the 

 Breeders' Futurity at Readville where he defeated 

 Rose Scott. Edman also won six races with Jay 

 Brook, five each with Dorothy Day, and Ruth Patch, 

 four with Ruth Stout, and three each with Julia M. 

 Direct and Legal J. 



Edman also drove Whip Cord to his record of 

 2:121/4 over the Cranwood Driving Park at Cleve- 

 land. This horse was sold out of the army at Char- 

 lotte, N. C. in 1918. He was taken to Pinehurst and 

 started in the matinees to harness and under the 

 saddle. As he showed speed he was raced for two 

 seasons at the southern fairs before M. Sebree ap- 

 peared with him at Cleveland. After winning a 

 heat and losing one, the judges decided a new reins- 

 man would improve matters. Edman was selected. 

 He won with the ex-war horse, whose history prior 

 to his appearance at Charlotte is unknown.

 Park, Medford, Mass., where he made his first starts
