They say that if Yankee Girl could have gotten through on the inside coming into the stretch she would have taken Montgomerys measure. Maybe she weald have, but Ill have to see her do it before Ill be convinced that she Is his etpial the same way weighted and over the same distance. Montgomery is a mighty good colt, 1 tell you."
