The White representative, a double winner during his 1953 campaign, recently gave proof of his class by thoroughly trimming seven other three-year-olds in the six-furlong Eurbank Purse, decided here June 3. Little Colonel found the muddy track on that occasion advantageous and -stepped to the wire with a three-length margin over Reb-Misha while Foxie Jeanie, Rock Drill, Fast Traffic, Cols Daughter, Uncle Bernie, and Relics War, victorious in his last outing, trailed the leaders. Polemos finished second to My Fault last week in the one mile River Rouge Purse but, previous to that performance, was good enough to whip five other rivals, Mad Hare, Black Bantam, War Token, Our Kite and Hit the Spot in the eight-furlong Northfield Purse.
