Flip Flap in her three seasons on the turf has won some notable races, defeating the best horses of botli sexes in some of them. Her only winning races this year were the Westminster Handicap and the Marlboro Handicap. The only other races when she finished in the money was third each time in Hie Advance Stakes, the Standard Stakes and an overnight handicap.
