...greatest races of the year. War Admiral, for whom Owner Samuel Riddle refused on offer of $250,000* last month, was made a 2-to-5 favorite (in spite of a muddy track and top weight of 130 lb.) after Seabiscuit was scratched. Leaving the post, the four-year-old Riddle colt was not in front as is his custom. Menow*, a three-year-old rated as merely a sprinter, splashed mud in War Admiral's face all the way round, won by eight lengths. The great War Admiral, in his first defeat in twelve starts, finished...
