Despite the intervention of a blizzard, the charms of Arline Judge and a good deal of assorted harmonizing, Amos wins the Yale game by taking...
...because he had failed to win in his last six starts, had been sold at bargain rates two days before. After only 48 hours in the Jacobs barn, Night Sprite knew exactly what to do. He plunged across the finish line first by a head, having opened up a gap of ten lengths at the start...
