Broadcloth assumed a safe lead right at the start and never relinquished it. Ho clipped a quarter of a second off the track record, running tlie mile in 1:301. Tlie finish of the second race brought the spectators to their feet. In a field of four Big Store brought up tlie rear all the way until they were straightened for home. Then Tadlock made his move with tlie big colt and, swiftly passing his opponents, won by three-quarters of a length.
