Forty to One Prevails in Futurity at Sheepshead Bay
Fifteen thousand spectators watched Martimas, a 40 to 1 long shot, win the Futurity Stakes at Sheepshead Bay in hot heat. High Degree finished second after a grueling post delay, with Autumn and others close behind as the field battled for position along the rail. A long start delay caused fines and suspensions for several jockeys, and the crowd witnessed a dramatic finish as the upset winner claimed the purse worth $48,200 with High Degree earning $33,610 and third place going to Mr. Clay.
