Secretary Nathanson said last night: "If there is no more rain and the sun shines tomorrow, the Harlem Park track will be good enough for any horse in the world to run on." E. E. Smathers said last night: "Of course I want to see my horse run, and I have many friends here that want to see him run. Some of them have come especially to see him run. Also I realize how much, the public wants him to go. But if more rain falls and the track is too bad we will not risk him." McChesney yesterday morning worked a mile over the Harlem track in 1:52.
