1 : RUNNING OF THE FLASH STAKES Few American stake races are of longer establishment than the Flash Stakes, it having lirst been run so far back as in 1809, when it fell to Francis .Morris famous filly. Remorseless. The Flash has not been run continuously, having been dropped from the Saratoga program under the Walbaum regime. When It was revived in 1901 it was at a value greater than any In its previous history. It was a dash of a half mile down to 1S97 and it was this that enabled the extremely speedy Leamington filly, Olitipa. to set a half-mile record as far back as 1S74 that stands as the track record at the distance to this day and probably will for a long time to come. The Flash is a race that revives recollections of many of the most ruinous racers of our turf history from such long-gone celebrities of old days as Remorseless and Tom Rowling down to such recent stars as Hamburg, Sysonby, Burgomaster and Peter Pan.
