Blue Larkspur won the Withers and Belmont Stakes. The other three in the list of the most important were the Preakness Stakes, Kentucky Derby and Fairmount Derby, and the winners of these were Dr. Freeland, Clyde Van Dusen and Karl Eitel. Still another Derby might be included in the list — the Tijuana — and Naishapur, another certain starter in the American, was the winner of that The following table shows the colts which competed in one or more of the five stakes mentioned, how they finished and the weights they carried: Preakness Kentucky Fairmount Withers Belmont Stakes.
