...Rose's Diamond Horseshoe cabaret by its nostalgic floor shows about the Gay Nineties and the Naughty Naughts. Last week Rose said good-by to all that, leaped into the future. "Come to New York," large ads advised Washington's brain-trusters, "and see our Post-War Preview, which concerns itself not with the fuss, but with the fun of the future. We have some important figures to submit. We'd like to show you a world with not too much milk, perhaps, but overflowing with honeys...
Overflowing with honeys, indeed, is Billy Rose's Post-War Preview - a thing of shapes to come. It is the most enticing of postwar vistas, the most alcoholic of Beverage Plans. And it is simplicity itself. No futuristic dream, Rose's postwar world is merely the good old days.

Few days before, in a tune-up race (his 1943 debut) on a sloppy track, he had proved that he could run in any kind of going. This time, against the cream of the three-year-old crop and despite a gashed hind leg, he really showed his class. From the time he entered the backstretch, where he overtook Blue Swords, his chief rival, he made the race a runaway. His time (1:43 flat...
