...running nose-and-nose for the two-year-old championship. The best finisher was chunky, bay Hill Prince, beaten only once-and that time by what his rider, Jockey Eddie Arcaro, confessed was "a damn bad ride." At Saratoga in August, a colt named Middle-ground outran everything in sight, and in the Midwest a streak of bay lightning known as Curtice was winning again & again.
