Whirlaway Galloped Alone in The Last Pimlico Special

By JACK CUDDY . United Press Stat Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—The dust kicked up by long-tailed Whirlaway as he galloped alone around the Pimlico oval yesterday dribbled out a requiem for the $10,000 Pimlico Special—the events that Alfred ' Vanderbilt tried to turn into a turf classic.

In war or peace time, we are

confident ‘that there never will be

another Pimlico Special—that there never will be a classic of ms kind

at Pimlico in which one great racer can gallop alone around the track to win the purse. We make this prediction be- - cause of fwo major factors: (1) Al Vanderbilt, with all his money, never offered a sufficient prize to wean peak horses away from bigpurse events on other tracks, and (2) he tried to make a classic event out of a race that had no tradition—as far as the breeders ‘were concerned. Vanderbilt, now in the navy, had a swell idea when he and his press agent, Dave Woods, founded the Pimlico Special. That was in 1837 when he got 3-year-old War Admiral to race in this handicap event. Three mediocre

opponents faced the admired who would have won were it not for the fact that Masked General ran wide. in the stretch.

This year’s race was the worst in the classic’s 6-year history. A field of nine horses originally had been invited to run. This field comprised Whirlaway, and eight other mounts, including Mrs. Albert Sabath’s Alsab. All were withdrawn for various reasons, Mrs, Payne Whitney's Shut Out was retired for the sea-son-because of a leg ailment. And Alsab was pulled out so that he could peint for Saturday’s $25,000 Westchester Handicap at Empire. Mrs. Sabath wanted Alsab. to win

the Westchester because such a |

victory would bring about $18,000 and make Alsab the leading money-earner of the year with a total of about $243,215 to Shut Out’s $238,972.

From the start it was obvious that Woolf had orders to hold ‘him in, Mr. Longtail stepped. the half in :551-5; six furlongs in 1:20 3-5; the mile in 1:464-5 and he ran through the ‘stretch in 18 3-5 seconds.
