Horses

Expert equine advices took blind staggers during the week. In America, Zev and My Own were beaten by In Memoriam, a 10-to-1 shot, at Latonia; in France, Epinard, three-year-old whom the French called the "best horse in the world," lost by a head to Verdict at Newmarket; in England, Papyrus was sold by Owner Ben Irish.

In Memoriam, considered an outsider, wore down Harry F. Sinclair's international champion Zev, passed him at the head of the stretch, to win by six lengths. Jockey Earl Sande is said to have flagrantly disobeyed orders in forcing Zev to the front in the opening rush and trying to hold him there through the 1 3/4-mile race--the longest Zev had ever run. Zev settled the My Own controversy by leading Admiral Grayson's three-year-old four lengths across the line. Thirty thousand natives of the Blue Grass went wild at the victory of In Memoriam. Annoyed by the frantic adulation, the colt lashed out with his hoofs, battered immediate bystanders.
