Last Thursday (January 9) this mare was given 'a sharp spin over a mile and the journey was covered in 1.59, finishing...the last quarter_in 26.3/5 seconds. The inter- mediate quarters were 32, 30.3/5, 29.4/5, and 26.3/5, and it will be observed that the last half a mile was negotiated in 56.2/5 seconds.
