THIRTY FAST FOUR- YEAR -OLDS WHICH EXCELLED THE OTHER RACERS OF THEIR AGE IN THE MONEY WON IN 1918 Among the four-year-olds of 191S Cudgel stood out pre-eminent, both as a race horse and as a money gatherer for his owner. At even wejghts no other horse of his age had a chance with him in racing. Possibly, he would have had two worthy opponents had Omar Khayyam retained the brilliant form of his three-year-old days and Westy Hogan remained sound in his legs. Rut neither of these things happened and Cudgel reigned supreme among the racers of his age with more money to his credit than any four-year-old has won in the last seventeen years. Three foreign-bred horses stood next to him in money won in Naturalist, Hollister and Corn Tassel, and right good racers they were. Outside of the four named Midway was the only other four-year-old which won as much as 0,000. Of the other horses in the list of thirty leading money-winning four-year-olds Rribed Voter. Reaverkill, Grundy, Sunflash II., Star Master and Ruford won good races and fairly belong in the handicap division; in fact, when in the mood Grundy could run about as fast as any horse in the west for a mile or more, his mile in 1:37 at Latonia last fall illustrating this. Jock Scot and Sedan were excellent sprinters. Minto II. was a high-class selling plater with the singular record of having won ten races and finished third six times without ever having ran second. A comparative failure among the four-year-olds was the fine filly Fruit Cake, which raced usefully, but not up-to the high promise of her three-year-old career.
