Whirly broke well and then gave his supporters, who had backed him down to even money, a taste of the Jitters by trailing the field by a good 10 lengths for at least half the Journey. Then Woolf gava him the nod and he showed why he rates among the all-time greats. With one burst he jumped up to fourth place and in another mo ment he was out in from. He roared down the stretch like a runaway locomotive and flashed across the wire in 1:48 1-5 to crack the track rec ord for the mile and one-eighth distance, previously held by War Belie, by two-fifths of a second. Whirlaway paid $4, $3 and $2.20, Rounders $6 60 and $3.80, and Mrs. Parker Coming's At tention, which finished third, $3.40.
