to death, but PIncus in Iroquois has produced a colt 

 capable of winning the greatest race in the world. That 

 he had a sterling bit of stuff to work upon cannot be 

 denied; neither can it be doubted that the Americans 

 make up their minds to find out whether their horses 

 can stand real hard work or not. They must either 'go'

 two-mile gallops he was sent in training were also con-

 oped. That Iroquois has developed into a stayer, the 

 Derby proves. Peregrine failed to stay and St. Louis 

 was beaten the moment it came to racing."
