...redeemed himself, and his ailing, 80-year-old owner sat in his box with tears in his eyes. Leading from start to finish, he floated away from his rivals, finished two lengths ahead of Charles S. Howard's Mioland, three ahead of Ethel Mars's Gallahadion, the upstart who had humbled him in the Derby...
