Myrtles Jet began to fade turning for home, leaving Gandharva alone on the lead, while Sorceress began to move up on the rail, where she had plenty of room, while McCreaiy found a wide opening between horses and shot Searching through. At the eighth »pole, Searching was lapped on Gandharva, who fought on gamely, but couldnt? hold the determined rush of the War Admiral four-year-old. Up Betimes closed with a belated rush on the outside to take third honors from Sorceress, who had every chance through the stretch, but lacked the power to move through on the inside.
