by a short half length over War Admiral who is two-and-a-half lengths in front
of Bottle Cap.

They're now at the three-quarter mile mark.....Masked General has stretched
out his lead to two lengths.....War Minstrel is running along the inside rail
and War Admiral is just a head farther back. Bottle Cap is trailing by three-
lengths as they complete six furlongs in 1.111/5. That's just 3/5ths of a
second slower than the record for that distance and there's almost a half mile
left to go$ Masked General is still setting a dizzy pace around the far turn
and it seems a cinch that hetll win barring a miracle as War Admiral isn't
reaching out with his usual stride and appears all in. Here they come for the
stretch and.....ihat's that?.....

(CROWD NOISE AND GALLOPING HOOFS SWELLING IN VOLUME TO FINISH LINE.)
Masked General forgets to make the turn..e...he's going straight for the outside
fencet Eccard is virtually pulling him up to a walk and now hets turned and
heading this way. Meanwhile War Admiral has skimmed the rail and saved a dozen
lengths and is breczing along on top....eBut here comes Masked General againt
The mile time was 1:38 incidentally - Masked General has passed War Minstrel
again and hets charging at War Admiral...Can he make it....it's five lengths
eoeeeit's four.....now three.....there's twenty yards to go.....it's two lengths
and War Admiral hits the wire a length and a half to the good - but beliocve you
me he knows he's been to the races. Masked General finishes four lengths ahead
of War Minstrel who escapes last place by a nose.

(REDUCE SPEED.)

Man O Mant What a racet.....There gocs the final time on the board 1:58-
4/5.....-the track record for the distance is 1:58. War Admiral saved his skin
but the fans will be talking about how lucky he was to do it for the rest of
the winter,

Listen in again next week when we will describe the running of the santa
Anita Handicap of 1938 in which Stagehand and Seabiscuit put on their memorable

duel for a $100,000 prizet
