Oldsters for a moment thought they were watching Big Red, as War Admiral, imitating his famed sire, delayed the race by his shameful behavior at the starting gate, then flashed to the front in the first furlong and stayed there. Breezing down the stretch, War Admiral won as easily as everyone expected. First-prize of $49,550 brought War Admiral's lifetime winnings to $231,625-some $17,000 less than Man o' War's and $12,000 more than Seabiscuit's. Triumphant over...

His share of the year's biggest purse...
