FORTY-FIFTH DERBY 1919 



A record Derby in more ways than one was this year's 

 Louisville's big racing attraction. Never was there such a crowd, 

 the dimensions of which reminded me of Epsom and of Fleming- 

 ton. A vast surging mass of racing enthusiasts, which, prior to 

 the running of the big race, were to be found eagerly discussing 

 the merits or demerits of the Derby contestants and afterwards 

 the whys and wherefores of the success of one and the failure 

 of others. A record Derby also because of the fact that two 

 horses in the same ownership finished first and second, and also 

 for the first time in its history the spoils fell to a sportsman who 

 hails from the land of "God save the king and heaven bless the 

 maple leaf forever."
