TABULAR HISTORY OF THE FLATBUSH STAKES. The Flatbush Stakes has been one of the Important Sheepshead Bay fixtures for two-year-olds ever since the Coney Island Jockey Club gave Its first meeting and has never been won by an Inferior racehorse. From Wanda down they were all youngsters of high class and many of them in after years among the greatest racers of American turf history, such names as Sir Dixon, Salvator, Potomac, Senator Grady, Lissak, Requital, Ornament, Lieutenant Gibson, Irish Lad and Highball attesting this.
