Unusual Happenings in 

 Racing 



At Saratoga, on September 1, 1934, in the seventh 

 race, Anna V. L. caused a jam at the start. Noble 

 Spirit swerved into Semaphore, who in turn fouled 

 Anna V. L. All three were disquaUfied, after finish- 

 ing in the order named. The race was awarded to 

 Just Cap, which had finished fourth. A triple 

 disqualification. 



Two of the longest priced winners of 1933, or 

 any other year, were ridden by Jockey V. Wallis. 

 At Agua Cahente, on January 8, he piloted King 

 Jack to victory with a payoff of $820 for the usual 

 $2 investment. On February 24, at the same track, 

 Wallis won with Augeas, which paid $840 for $2. 

 Only one ticket was sold on the latter horse, D. L. 

 Harris of Oklahoma being the only backer of the 

 neglected racer. 



Bob Wade, carrying 122 pounds at the age of four 

 stepped ^ of a mile in 2 1 ^ seconds, at Butte, Mon- 

 tana, August 20, 1890. 



That is still the world's record for the distance.
