KENTUCKY DERBY 81 



and passed to the half in :51, consistent pace in a mile and 

 one-quarter race. His Eminence, in fact was never headed after 

 he passed the stand and was never in trouble. He made his 

 own pace and Winkfield shook him up above the eighth pole and 

 he responded gamely and came on, dashing a couple of lengths 

 ahead without effort. At the half, he was a length to the good, 

 at the five-eighths he was a length and one-half to the good, at 

 the three-quarter pole he was three lengths in front of the 

 bunch. This is where Winkfield shook him up, for O'Connor 

 on Sannazarro ; Boland on Driscoll and Dupee on Amur, were 

 whipping and digging the rowels into the satiny sides of their 

 mounts. 



And Alard <Scheck, the favorite? J. Woods, the crack Schorr 

 jockey, had him under restraint, believing the colt would be 

 able to win easily when he got good and ready. He was under 

 a steady pull for the first three-quarters, and when Woods called 

 on him he did the worse thing a horse can do next to quitting — 

 he sulked. When Woods attempted to lay him down he posi- 

 tively refused to go ahead and finished five lengths behind Amur. 

 the next to the last horse. 



His Eminence continued to increase his lead, and as they 

 round into the stretch the colored boy looked over his shoulder 

 and saw the others hopelessly beaten. He kept His Eminence 

 under restraint all the way through the stretch and won easily 

 by two lengths in 2:07)4. O'Connor gave a fine exhibition of 

 riding on Sannazarro and while the Hayes colt was not quite 

 up to such a race as the Derby was, he got all out of him that 

 was in him and finished second ahead of Driscoll, as easily 

 as His Eminence finished ahead of him. 



The fractional time of the race was :13, :25 T />, :38, :51, 

 1:04, 1:163/4, 1:29, 1:43, l:55j4, 2:07^. -
