CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE TIDAL STAKES. The Tidal is one of the most valuable stakes of the day. For twenty years it was run as a mile dash and at that distance was marked by some memorable contests. In 1902 its value was greatly increased and its distance lengthened to a mile and a quarter. One notable feature hi its early history was the marked good fortune of Jimmy McLaughlin in riding six out of its first eight winners, no other jockey having anything near such good luck in guiding Tidal winners. The record or the race is as follows: Year. First. Jockeys. Wt. Second. Wt. Third. Wt. Val. Time. 1SS2 Ruiinvinede ...J. McLaughlin. .US Marsh Redon US Hilarity US ? 3.9G0 l:43i 1883 Barnes I".
