CONDENSED HISTORY OF THE FLASH STAKES. The Flash is one of tlie oldest fixtures of the American turf, having been first run In 1S09, when the famous filly, Remorseless, was its winner. A few years later the exquisite Leamington filly, Olitipa, won it in time that long stood as the American record for a half mile and is still the track record for that Instance. Such great racers as Tom Bowling, Duke of Magenta, Harold, Sensation, George Kinney, Volante, King Fish, Hamburg, Sysonby, Burgomaster and Deter Dan were Flash winners and the record of the event is as follows: Year.
