Show T 04 Q new york tork post service war admiral jock worked out perfect getaway at barrier i JUST a note to one of the old folks at home dear red pop Kurt Kart singers wildly thumping heart burst six buttons off his vest when his boy charley came galloping down to the wire atop the winner the beauty and chivalry of Kain tucky were so elated that they only jacked up prices per cent for the firemen who missed the first train out but well red why an admiring friend who seen you for a long while is writing this letter it was a swell derby that one so easily won by war admiral but there was something missing that was you pop all the while that little brown colt really hes little only as compared to such big red giants as yourself was shaking those four feet to make every post a winning one I 1 kept whispering to myself what I 1 was saying was gee but I 1 wish his old man could see him now lots of other folks were saying sayin the same thing too red you think be cause youre stuck off in a green pasture a couple of 6 counties away that W honest to goodness people have forgotten you ever since the race was run ive heard hundreds of them saying the 41 11 same thing my aly 1 my been man alan 0 ol 01 war saying he looked just like man alan 0 war he be actually a little wrong on that though red if ff speaking of mere outward appearances while the kids standing in his stall maybe because of what bhear about the way youve been spending spendin your last fifteen years youre sort of like the oll old woman in the shoe and get mixed mix ed up about the younger ones now and and then id better set you right about him war admiral this kid of yours has a nice easy stride pretty close knit conformation and may be a trifle light in back carries his head like you but otherwise he takes after his mammas family in looks his mammy you may have to be reminded was a little mare named a ed bruscup and her daddy was S sweep beep just like you hes full of pe pep and and vinegar at the barrier too but ut I 1 take too seriously those stories you may read about him being a bad actor there actually what happened there was that your kid and pop Kurt singers boy charley were giving the first evidence of that perfect teamwork which won them the race in the second best time in derby history what charley and your kid really were doing at the post when everybody thought they were cutting up was thinking and acting they were wheeling in and out of their stall because they wanted to be on their toes when the break came if stood there nice and flatfooted flat footed maybe it would have looked nice n ice in in a book of manners but where aher e would they have been when the wire e went up probably still standing there eh red or maybe piled up over the fence in the infield so charley and your kid were putting on the act they figured that it if they were a little tough lining up the starters start erd erld make his move as soon as he got them in line for once what happened and from then on it was just like as if you were doing it yourself red heel fly chos always a mite impatient at the start maybe had a head lead for the first hundred yards after that your kid was never in trouble maybe kurtsinger Kurts mger did go to bat on him once turning into the straightaway but it even necessary Pom poon who looked like a much better horse than he did in the wood memorial was challenging then but even if this son of pompay been carried wide it have made much difference your kid only won by two lengths but he won well in hand and he be could have made it six
