...Pards, the Fall round-up is hyar agin. The herd's a-gatherin' 'round the old corral jest like she allus has. Seems it's purty near the same thing every year-lot o' the old 'uns ain't 'round no more, but a flock o' fresh stock is in, 'rarin' to go and creatin' a pile o' fuss per usual. This hyar piece is aimed at the latter (that's a two-bit word.) Mebbe so some of us old nags can fork you young colts of '45 a little solid horse-sense afore you go throwin' shoes...

...other Derby eligibles were entered, just to make a race of it: Valdina Paul and Valdina Groom, two of Texan Emerson Woodward's herd, all named Valdina Something-or-other, that have invaded U.S. tracks this year. But from the flag's fall it was a two-horse race. Our Boots was ridden by little Conn McCreary, who is so small he looks like a pussycat on a horse. Puss McCreary acted like a wise old cat. Leading from the start, he eased Our Boots in the backstretch, let Whirlaway get in front. Then, rounding the home turn...
