Wasson Sets Five-Furlong Track Record At Pinehurst
Wassoon, owned by Henry B. Swoope and ridden by Hulcoat, set a new five-furlong record at Pinehurst in 1:00 4-5, a time likely equal to the American mark for half mile tracks. The meet featured close races with Uncle Sand defending his title and Queen of the Spa in a dramatic six-furlong dash mishap. Julie Glenn, Swoope’s jumper, to debut Wednesday in a 12-jump chase, is highlighted as a potential standout.
