Beaver Wins the First of the Spanish Sonder Races
At Fort Erie track Ed Geers drove The Harvester to a world record mile in 2:02 amid a slow surface. The performance shaved a quarter second off Crescens’s nine-year-old mark and set a new third heat record for stallions mares or geldings and a world record for a 65-year-old trotter. Dudie Archdale was beaten in the King George V stakes while Hailworthy took the final three in that event.
