...stretch, into the far turn the first three horses ran in the same positions. Then, on the far turn, something unexpected happened. Mr. Khayyam swung wide at the turn. Big Brand, an outsider, came up from fourth place along the rail. Gallant Sir, to pass Mr. Khayyam, had to swing out to the middle of the track, and Equipoise at his shoulder and trying to pass him at the same time, had to swing out even further. For a moment, it looked as though the two horses were glued together: as though by shouldering Equipoise, Gallant Sir might throw...

Studebaker borrowed to finance the deal, but a few White stockholders prevented Studebaker from taking title to the assets.
